Did They Say That? Albert Einstein and Compound Interest

didtheysaythat

“The most powerful force in the universe is compound interest.”

Albert Einstein

Arguably the most intelligent person to ever live (even though he didn’t speak fluently until age nine) said that the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest. Of course, he was wrong. God is, but it still illustrates a point. Compound interest is a powerful force that can work for you or against you. Compound interest can help you create wealth with investments or help destroy it through high interest credit cards. Learn about compound interest and it could change your life! And it doesn’t hurt to know the actual most powerful force in the universe, either!

    Just because you heard that Einstein said the most powerful force in the universe is compound interest does not mean he said it. In fact he never said it. Please do not make blanket statements in writing without verifying what you are stating.

    I did not “hear” about what he said. I got it from a source. Now where is your source?
