Episode 12: Size Does Matter and Small is Better- Money Talk

When it comes to your finances and your money habits, small is better than big. We often discount the small steps, thinking they are too insignificant to make a big impact. But, there is magic in small. 

Here are just some of the ways that small is better when it comes to your money. 

• Small monthly contributions over time vs one lump sum contribution later means more time in the market 
  • Example- $500 per month over 40 years (240,000)= 2,678,185 vs. $240,000 for 10 years= $622,498
• Small habit changes now means building a strong foundation with your money
• Small savings each month add up to affording the things that matter later
• Small mindset changes, like rewriting internal scripts that were ingrained from childhood means gradual change
• Small and steady allows for you to sustain the changes
• Small steps lead to massive transformations 
  • “Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.”- Ovid
  • “A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence.” James N. Watkins
