Question 1 of 3
Compounding
If you invest $1,000 that grows at 7% a year, how many years does it take to roughly double?
Correct — the "Rule of 72."Divide 72 by your annual return to estimate years to double: 72 ÷ 7 ≈ 10.3 years. That's compounding — your returns start earning their own returns.Try it with your own numbers →
Inflation
If inflation is 4% and your savings earn 1% in interest, what's really happening to your money?
Correct — you're losing purchasing power.Your account grows 1% but prices rise 4%, so buying power drops about 3% a year (the "real" return = return minus inflation). Money in a low-interest account quietly shrinks in what it can buy.
Risk & return
Which statement about risk and return is most accurate?
Correct. Higher returns generally require accepting more risk — but taking risk doesn't guarantee a reward. Diversify so no single bet decides your outcome.
