HOW THE DOLLAR VALUE OF TIME HELPS DISCIPLINED
INVESTORS
Below are two individuals who have different
attitudes toward investing. The early investor chooses
to begin investing $5,000 annually for retirement. The
late investor waits ten years before beginning a
program.
The early investor contributed $107,500 less than the late
investor, but outperformed the late investor by over $167,000.

There is also an insurance aspect here that is not shown by
the pure numbers. The early investor is protected should he
become disabled or a bad economy limit his earning potential. He
already has his money doing the work for him.
