投資的72法則

很久以前就看過72法則的觀念,但是一直都沒記起來。

72法則在wikipedia的解釋是:
In finance, the rule of 72, the rule of 70 and the rule of 69.3 all refer to a method for estimating an investment's doubling time, or halving time. These rules apply to exponential growth and decay respectively, and are therefore used for compound interest as opposed to simple interest calculations.

簡而言之,是一個計算資產翻倍的簡單經驗法則:
72 / X = Y (72 / Y = X)
X代表的是年利率x100,是以年複利計算 (複利就是利息滾入本金計算)
Y代表的是時間,需要花多少時間達到

舉例來說,
30歲有100萬,年複利平均是5%,則要存到200萬需要等到44.4歲( 72/(5% x 100)= 14.4年)
30歲有100萬,35歲想要有200萬,則每年需要複利至少14.4%才能達到(72/5 = 14.4%)
