Why should students care?

You may not have a lot to save right now, but what you have is time — your greatest asset. With time you can make use of compound interest — essentially, interest on interest. Even the great Albert Einstein once said "Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it … he who doesn"t … pays it."

In other words, take that first step now and future you will thank you for it!
