- One of our members, Josee Ungaretta, provided us with the Rule of 72.   The rule of 72 is a fun fact that you are sure to enjoy.   Do you want an easy way to calculate how quickly you can double your money?   It’s the rule of 72.   Simply divide 72 by the
interest earned and you get the number of years it will take to double your money.   For example: If you invest $10000 in a 3% CD, you can expect your $10,000 to grow to $20,000 in 24 years.   If you invest the same amount at 5%, possibly in a bond fund,
it would take you about 14 1/2 years to get to $20,000.   If you were to invest it in possibly a diversified stock/bond mutual fund averaging an 8% return you would double your money in just 9 years.   Call her at 847-744-0751 or Email her at Josee10@sbcglobal.net for a free financial needs analysis.   She is happy to share additional strategies that are just right for you.
