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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Hope that answers your question and thanks for reading!<br><br><em>P.S: the spreadsheet should be in your mailbox by now.</em>yowchuanSat, 31 May 2008 07:29:11 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2007/01/automated-savings-chart/#comment-2468009Hi. 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.<br>ThanksRevathiThu, 29 May 2008 22:45:26 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2007/01/automated-savings-chart/#comment-2468008&lt;comment witheld="witheld"&gt;<br><strong>Yow Chuan:</strong> Sorry, Zaidi, no free advertisement here ;-)<br><br>If you would like me to feature your website or link back to you, I would be more happy to do so.

Love the idea of compounded interest even when you didn't top you account up.<br>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.<br>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.<br>Still, if you keep topping it up, it should work.CharmTue, 13 Nov 2007 05:06:28 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2007/01/automated-savings-chart/#comment-2468006hi there,<br><br>i m referring to your posting; "Okie, that last paragraph was totally made up.
