Simple Interest versus compound interest
I watched a good video last week, which did a good job of explaining simple versus compound interest.

**Simple Interest versus compound interest**

Simple Interest is the interest that is paid on the principle of the loan. This is in contrast to compound interest which is interest on the principle and interest on the interest.

😱**Notice the total interest paid is much larger, over a $1000.00 more versus a Simple interest loan.**

πŸ€”**Always remember the difference interest paid on interest**
**Most consumer credit is compound interest, so it works against you**
**However when it comes to your cash savings inside a whole life policy, compound interest is working for you**
![9E9B7E93-FBF5-43AC-B8AF-CCF6AFD16263.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYi5KxyyYAzFWTHULRWMCPcT8bJutj47Y4rTA38Y6PrHs/9E9B7E93-FBF5-43AC-B8AF-CCF6AFD16263.jpeg)[Source](https://youtu.be/TCnEPWT1mLI)

**Here is a side by side comparison** 
**As you can see, your cash value savings account grows to a much larger amount inside the whole life policy due to compound interest versus simple interest in a savings account or certificate of deposit.**
![7A8FD0B7-CFB8-4730-A448-783ED94F8734.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZoLD7NfYYkCZAb6jtBBfiXHeU6AzkXn7UXojihemQ4S2/7A8FD0B7-CFB8-4730-A448-783ED94F8734.jpeg)[Source](https://youtu.be/TCnEPWT1mLI)

**As you can see, the difference starts small $1300.00 after 5 years, but by 20 years the difference is $32,000**
That’s the power of compound interest working for you.
