The above image is the formula for building wealth, commonly known as the compound interest formula. Compound interest is the interest you earn on interest. If you have $1000 and it earns 5% interest each year, you’ll have $1050 at the end of the year. The formula is 1000 x .05 = 1050

Please don’t ask me to go through and explain the formula. I use a financial calculator to determine the correct answer in the building wealth for retirement article series.

There are two bases for building wealth in the series of articles/ The first being the compound interest method using a variety of different investments and the scaling-up business model.

This started out as a series for an online course. However, it is looking more and more like a YouTube series of videos. Regardless of the end-use for the 15 math building problems, you can follow me to enjoy the story like scenarios on building wealth.
