This is a really cute concept. Many people don’t have an extra $5 a day. Do you know what you get when you invest $5 a day over 12 years at a 4% interest rate? It’s not a million dollars.
About 28000 dollars. Even with a super safe investment that gives you 4%. S&p is like 10% a year. In that case (assuming you lose 1% to the market) you would have 36k.
If you do that over 40 years (25 to 65) you have 640k.

4%?!? where are you getting 4%?? Last time I looked at CD rates it was like 1.2%
You need to look again. I have a 5% standard savings account right now. Fed rates are very high right now.
yeah the rates are way better than last time i looked! gonna have to put some savings into good use.
