Power of Compounded Returns

It's the simplest and most truest principle in Investments.

Invest $10,000 today in something that'll return 10% every year and leave it for 38 years.

I'm 27 and by the time I'm 65 and old enough for retirement, that $10,000 would have grown to over $9 million.

Power of compounded returns. It's the snowball effect that happens when your profits generate even more profits as the years roll on.

So instead of eating your sandwich at first sight of profits, reinvest your profits for mass YOLO.

Word used predominantly at the unfolding of an unfortunate event to express both frustration and dumbfoundedness.

The word can be used in the context of, e.g.

  • Giving a homeless man spare change out of the goodness of your heart then being told to suck a d1ck. "... shi-deng..."
  • Allowing a homeless man to push in front of you in the Maccas line and swallowing a whiff of gas you know with absolute certainty had been brewing for days in the innards of the aforementioned homeless man. ".......AHHH SHI-DENG"
