Frequently Asked Questions
What if I add monthly contributions?
Regular contributions dramatically increase the total. $10,000 plus $200/month at 7% grows to far more than the lump sum alone.
Is this guaranteed?
No. Markets fluctuate and you can lose money. 7% is a long-run average, not a promise of any single decade.
High-yield savings vs investing?
A 4% high-yield savings account grows $10,000 to about $14,800 in 10 years — safer, but less than investing at 7%.
