In this German-language segment, the speaker shares his personal experience of investing in the stock market since age 14 and emphasizes that it is never too late to start. He reassures viewers who may feel they missed the early‑investment window and illustrates the power of compound interest with a concrete example: investing $600 each month at a 7 % annual return. Over ten years the contributor would have paid $72,000, yet the portfolio would grow to roughly $102,000, with about $30,000 coming from compound interest. The speaker explains that as the investment horizon lengthens, the proportion of returns generated by interest compounding increases, making wealth accumulation easier over time.
