A man walks into a bank and says,
"I'd like to make a deposit."

The teller asks, "How much?"

"Just one penny," he replies.

She looks confused. "Sir, that's not going to grow into much."

He grins and says, "Actually, I'd like to double it every day for a month."

The teller laughs. "Sure, whatever makes you happy!"

Day 1: 1 cent. Day 2: 2 cents
Day 3: 4 cents Day 10: $5.12
Day 20: $5,242.88
Day 30: $5,368,709.12

By day 30, the bank manager is sweating bullets, the teller has quit to become a math teacher, and our penny-depositor is buying the bank!

The Moral: The man understood what most people don't – compound interest isn't just about money, it's about time and consistency.

While everyone else was laughing at his "tiny" investment, he was playing the long game.

The Real Success Secret: Start small, be consistent, and let time do the heavy lifting. Whether it's a penny, $5, or $50 – the magic isn't in the amount, it's in the habit. The best time to plant a money tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time? Today.

P.S. - Banks have daily limits now specifically because of jokes like this one! 😄
