    I've read this method more than 10 years ago. Love the idea of compounded interest even when you didn't top you account up.
    I put a few thousands in an account and hope for the thing to happen. In a few months, the bank sent me a letter notifying me of the account closure due to inactivity.
    Seems like the bank don't want you to be rich this way. They want it their way, that is for them to be rich.
    Still, if you keep topping it up, it should work.

    Hi. Interesting and practical advise for investment/financial 'dummy' like me. Anyway I am not clear about the column that says rate of return? Is the rate given by the bank. I don't think the bank return rates go higher than 4%pa so what does the number 10% mean. Also please send me spreadsheet to my email.
    Thanks

    Revathi,

    The rate of return shown above in the chart is an estimated figure which I have used to illustrate the investment returns. The figure which I've used is 10%, which is the average return one might get from a unit trust investment spanning 3-5 years.

    Of course, like I say, it's just an estimate, the figure varies according to the type of funds, investment timeline and strategy deployed during the investment period.

    Hope that answers your question and thanks for reading!

    P.S: the spreadsheet should be in your mailbox by now.
