Reviews of How much do you gain by investing early in college?

This calculator is a great tool for students wondering if it's worth scraping together a few dollars a month to invest right now. It clearly shows the long-term power of compounding by comparing starting today versus waiting until graduation, adding entirely new and useful logic compared to the original FIRE calculator it remixed. You'll want to note that the math assumes your current savings earn zero interest during the delay years, but the bottom line remains striking. A solid way to visualize why your future self will thank you for starting early.
