Description

Bruce Sellery talks with personal finance expert and author Preet Banerjee about the “light bulb moment” that changed his money life as a teenager: automatic savings and the astonishing power of compound interest. Preet walks through simple examples that show why starting early matters more than saving perfectly, how small increases in your contributions can more than double your nest egg, and why high-interest credit card debt is compounding working against you. If you’ve ever wondered whether those online calculators are “too good to be true,” this segment will flip the switch.
