Get Rich: your millionaire marathon

Attention young adults: if you saved $140 a month starting today, you could be a millionaire by the time you retire. No joke — just look at the chart below. Your age gives you a HUGE advantage if you start now; it all has to do with compound interest and time.

Years Investment ($140/mo) Total balance w/ 8% APY
10 $16,800 $25,380
20 $33,600 $80,172
30 $50,400 $198,466
40 $67,200 $453,853
50 $84,000 $1,005,213

Take the risk & higher returns
Okay, let's be transparent. While Columbia Credit Union offers great, insured IRAs, you're young. You can probably handle some investment risk and, yes, benefit from the higher returns that come with uninsured investment products, like mutual funds and stocks.

Columbia's Wealth Management department is ready to help you invest. Like caring teachers, our representatives will demystify investment choices and help you pick accounts that best fit your personal goals. Schedule an appointment online or call 360.891.4093.

In 50 years (sooner if you save more now), you could be the "millionaire next door." Calculate other savings goals using our online calculator tool.
