If you invested $10,000 in a savings account with a (generous) 0.5% interest rate, a decade later, you’d have $10,511.40. A secure route, yet the growth is meh.

But if you put that same $10,000 into the stock market, with its average 10% return, you’d $25,937.42 in the same timeframe. A riskier route, yet the growth is magical.
