The exact month you reach your goal
That trip. That car. That cushion that finally lets you breathe. Put a number on it — see the month you get there, and the small change that gets you there years sooner.
| Add each month | Time to reach your goal |
|---|
How it works: it adds your monthly amount and grows the balance at the yearly rate you choose (monthly compounding) until it reaches your goal. The table shows how much a bigger or smaller monthly amount changes the finish line. The rate is an example — real growth varies and isn't guaranteed.
The lever you control
You can't control what markets do. You can control the monthly number. The table makes the trade-off visible: a little more each month can pull the finish line in by years. A goal with a date on it is a plan; a goal without one is a wish.
Same idea in trading: you can't control the market, but you can control your risk on every trade. That's the habit that keeps any goal alive — see how much to risk per trade.
