🔥DRIP🔥
This is what delayed gratification actually looks like in investing.
Two people invest the same $100,000 into VOO for 30 years.
One reinvests their dividends.
The other spends them.
Fast forward 30 years 👇
• No reinvesting → ~$1.16M
• Reinvesting → ~$1.37M
That’s an extra ~$210,000 just from… reinvesting the dividends 😳
Most brokerages let you turn on DRIP (dividend reinvestment) with literally a toggle.
If you’re with an online brokerage, you can usually do it yourself in seconds.
If your brokerage is a bank, you’ll probably have to give them a quick call or send a message to set it up.
Would you rather take the cash now… or let the future you have the extra $200k? 👀📈
