Hey everyone! 😀

There’s a new post on the blog about compound interest, mostly what it is, and why it can be so important 📊

[https://emma-app.com/blog/2020/07/20/compound-interest/](https://emma-app.com/blog/2020/07/20/compound-interest/)

Is compound interest something you take note of?

That’s good to know!

I guess if I had an account with a really good rate I might look at it more often?

Do you think anyone would ever include compound interest in any of their budget forecasting?

Haha I can’t promise anything! 😉 But it is interesting to hear what other people think about these things!

For anyone after a deeper look at the maths, the Khan Academy is a good place to start, though it’s got a US focus.
