When we think of our savings, we tend to think in linear terms.

Mathematically, This is partially due to thingslike compound interest.

But, as finance blog The Currency of Time explains, it’s not just a math problem.

It’s a habit.

This leads you to save even more:

The important part is the linear bit just getting started.

The exponential component tends to come along as the process evolves…

In everything you do or hope to do, remember: “linear is exponential.”

Consistent effort leads to larger and larger returns.

Conversely, persistent negatives could very well dig an insurmountable hole.

There’s more to your finances than just the math.

Your habits, your tendencies, and your personal psychology all play a role.

And everything grows over time.
