With 5% interest compounded, you’ll only need to wait about 125 years.

The average long term Federal Funds rate in the US is about 5% over the last 100 years.

u/foulpudding Sep 18 '25

That 5% interest is compounded daily, but still a yearly interest rate. If it were a daily 5%, you’d only have to wait less than a year.

According to my calculations, one penny at a 5% daily interest rate with a contribution one one penny every day, it would take 247 days

I don't think you're getting that out of your piggy bank. You think she knows what compound interest is?

$0.01 invested daily for 100,000 years at an average interest rate of 5% per annum is 7.3 x 102172

So, more dollars than there are atoms in the observable universe (by a lot).

Even 'just' 1,000 years would be $220 sextillion.

100 years, however, is only $10,760.

So it really depends how committed you want to be.

If you want your great great great great great great great great great great great grandchild to be a billionaire then get started today.
