I get a job bagging groceries at the age of 16. In my rst summer of bagging groceries I save $500.
I invest this money into a exchange traded fund that follows the S&P 500. The S&P 500 has an
annual growth rate of about 10%. In other words, my investment value increases at a rate of 10%
per year. Using the rule of 70 to nd the doubling time, calculate the approximate amount of time
it will take for this investment to exceed $1,000,000 in value.
Using the same scenario above, calculate the approximate amount of time it will take for the invest-
ment to exceed $1,000,000 in value, if I instead invested $1,000.
