The Rule of 72: A Simple Way to Understand Growth

Understanding how money grows over time is one of the most important — and often overlooked — aspects of financial education.

In this video, we explain the Rule of 72, a straightforward concept that helps estimate how long it takes for money to double based on a given rate of return. While the math itself is simple, the insight it provides can be powerful when applied to real-life financial decisions.

At The Wilson Legacy Group, we focus on helping families understand financial concepts that are rarely taught in school but play a critical role in building long-term stability. Learning how time, consistency, and strategy affect growth allows individuals to make more informed decisions about saving, investing, and planning for the future.

Whether you’re early in your financial journey or reassessing your long-term goals, understanding the Rule of 72 is a foundational step toward financial confidence.
