My kid had a light bulb moment in high school econ class,no less, about compounding interest. Teacher showed how a little saved now turns into a million dollars later. He was stunned how easy this was and has bought into the idea. (Yeah!)
Of course, I showed him the other side on how interest paid behaves in the same way.
More great stuff about living with less. Amazing how you can still be happy. Bit of tough sell with so much keeping up the Joneses pressure.
