http://www.getsmarteraboutmoney.ca/tools-and-calculators/compound-interest-calculator/compound-interest-calculator.aspx?mXFw&mQZw#.UWEEWNGI70N For the purpose of this calculation, we assume that your investment earns interest income that compounds at the end of the compounding period you choose. Any additional contributions are applied immediately at the beginning of the period you made them. Results are displayed by compounding period. Where the contribution frequency is greater than the compounding period (as in the case of weekly and bi-weekly contributions), annual contributions are divided over the number of compounding periods. For example, if you make contributions weekly that compound monthly, the calculations divide the year's 52 weeks into 12 months x 4.33 weeks each.

Last week, LearnVest CEO and Founder Alexa von Tobel visited the New York Stock Exchange to deliver a TEDx speech about personal finance. She told the story of one (hypothetical) girl–and the five financial principles that will shape her life. Like most of us, “Jessica” never took a single personal finance class in college, or ever, for that matter. In fact, that’s part of what led Alexa to start LearnVest … Below Alexa shares five simple financial rules that can help us all get on track with our money, no matter where you’re starting out right now, or how much you learned (or didn’t) about money growing up. Picture this: It’s spring 2012 and Jessica, a smart 22-year-old, is graduating from college with an English degree. http://www.learnvest.com/knowledge-center/a-ted-talk-by-learnvest-5-financial-rules-to-live-by/
