Buckuy fan 14 has a question.

I'm 26 and investing 40% of my growth income.

This is my first year investing this much.

I keep checking my accounts and see the money going down this year.

How do I stay motivated to keep investing?

Step one, this is really easy, Buckuy fan.

Go to moneyguide.com slash resources.

I want you to download what we call the wealth multiplier.

It shows how valuable every dollar can be at each age.

So for you at 26, we've got a little chart, little grid, which got out of 26.

I want you to see what every dollar you are saving can turn into.

And then what I want you to do is I want to take your 40%.

I'm going to do round math because I can do it in my head.

Let's say that you make $100,000 a year and you're saving $40,000 a year towards your

own $1 bills.

I want you to take $40,000 and multiply at times that wealth multiplier.

That is what those contributions this year are on pace to be by the time that you get

to 65.
