300 Years of Saving

Union Flag SavingWith this being the year of the 300th Anniversary of the UK, I thought I’d pose a question to show the value of starting saving early.

Question:
How much money would you have accumulated by now if, back in the year 1707, you’d invested £1 at an interest rate of ten percent?

Answer:

If you shared it out, that’s enough to turn over 2 million people into millionaires, while still leaving yourself with over £600 million to play with.

But But But…
Did you?
