An original illustration created by Devery “Rusty” Cagle, first use May, 2018. It shows one dollar doubled every day for thirty days, demonstrating that compounding does almost nothing for a long time and then does everything at once, and that anything removing capital before the final doublings costs far more than it appears. For educational purposes only; not tax or legal advice and does not promise future returns. To use or reference this framework contact rcagle@caglefamily.com for permission to reproduce it.
