- $200/month for 20 years surpasses $1,000/month for 10 years ($151k vs. $204k).
2. Small increases generate big differences:
- Contributing an extra $800/month ($1,000 vs. $200) gives you $607k more in 20 years.
3. **The magic is in starting NOW: If you delay 5 years, you lose ~$300k in potential (e.g., with $1,000/month).
