Why is Social Justice Important?

The Four Agreements.

Compound Interest.
When you deposit money in a savings account or a similar account, you'll usually receive interest based on the amount that you deposited. For example, if you deposit $1,000 in an account that pays 1 percent annual interest, you'd get $10 in interest after a year. Compound interest is interest that you earn on interest. Stacy J. Miller, CFP, Bright Investments, LLC discusses compound interest.
