I watch my account statements very carefully and I must admit I'm borderline obsessive when it comes to balancing my books. (Not always a bad thing, mind you.)
I checked my savings statement today and noticed that I earned almost $12 in interest this month.
I'm now motivated to add even more into my savings just to see how much more interest I can earn. It's like a little game to add money in and watch the interest grow. When I saw how much interest was added, I was very happy. I wanted to add more and more and more to see that interest grow and grow and grow. It's addicting.
I've always known that compounded interest is a powerful force, but it takes seeing your own money grow to make you realize it.
