Seeing how compound interest works over 20 years was a wake-up call. I immediately increased my monthly contributions.

Compound interest is one of the most powerful forces in investing. When your investment earnings generate their own earnings, your money can grow exponentially over time.
Time is your greatest asset. The earlier you start investing, the more time compound growth has to work in your favor. Even modest monthly contributions can grow into substantial wealth over 20–30 years.
Your risk tolerance and investment horizon should guide your asset allocation. Generally, longer time horizons allow for more aggressive strategies, while shorter horizons call for more conservative approaches.
