Warren buffet started investing at age 11.
From 11 to 50 years, he spent 39 years in his investing career but only made the bulk of his wealth after age 50!
No, his 39 years won't wasted. This is the Magic of Compounding.
His investment returns are a whooping 15% and he is able to beat the SNP500 index of approx. 8% returns.
Warren Buffet understood this concept which few were able to, and with his prowess in investing, he is able to earn much much more (Billions and Billions)!
I have written a post about the magic of compounding here previously- how an average person at age 25 can earn $1m by age 55 through investing at 4.5% returns. I still think that it is achievable.
That said, investment requires hard work- prudent investment decisions, a tad of luck, discipline and perhaps many other factors. If you are not able to read financial statements consistently, my honest advice will be to put your savings into OCBC 360 account.... its interest is good given the risk involved.
