"The Eighth Wonder" is not just a theoretical saying... but a terrifying mathematical fact.


-
Many believe that wealth in financial markets requires extraordinary intelligence or perfect timing to enter and exit...
But the truth proven by Warren Buffett lies in just one factor:
Time.
-
Look at the numbers in the image; they carry a powerful lesson:
At age 65 (traditional retirement age), Buffett's wealth was $3 billion.

Today, his wealth approaches $151 billion.

More precisely:
98% of his current total wealth was built after surpassing the age of sixty-five.

This is the essence of "compound interest" (Compound Interest).

Financial growth is not linear; it’s like a snowball, starting small and very slow, then exploding exponentially (Exponential) in recent years...

As long as you don’t interrupt it.
-
The problem for most investors is not in choosing stocks, but in losing patience.

They exit the market before the curve begins its steep ascent.

The lesson here:
Investing is not a sprint; it’s a test of long-term patience.

Your greatest asset is not the money you invest today, but the years you leave it to grow.

Do you have the patience to let the snowball roll?

Follow me for more on the psychology of money and investing.
