Compound interest is the "magic" of investing. It is the interest you earn not only on your original money (principal) but also on the interest you've already accumulated.

Time is more important than the amount you invest. Starting to invest at age 25 with a small amount will yield far more by age 60 than starting at age 40 with a large amount.
