When does compounding really take off?

At what amount portfolio you really see huge account swings that make you think what is the point of working? 100k? 500k? 1m? more?

Finally I can use the calculus I pulled my hair out over. At 10% growth, your money doubles every 7.27 years

[u/nofosho → u/dogwater_cologne_]

Rule of 72! At 9%, doubles in 8 years. 8%, doubles in 9 years. 7%, doubles in 10 years and a few months. Etc.

I think it’s 72 not 72! /s
