Here's an easy way to make Yourself a Million Dollars

All you need to begin with is a dime -- ten cents. Have you got the dime?

All right -- just double it twenty-four times. That doesn't sound difficult,

does it? Just double a dime 24 times and you'll have better than a million

and a half dollars.

Looked at in this light it doesn't seem so difficult, but when you get to the

last five times, it's going to take a good deal of effort. When you're half

through, when you've doubled the dime twelve times, you've only got

$409. 60. But by the time you've doubled that dime sixteen times, you're

up to more than $6, 000. By the time you get to the twentieth time you're

at more than $100, 000. Then 21 – 23, and the next one brings you over

the top with $1,677,721.60

It's probably this kind of tinkering with figures that lures people to the

gaming tables everywhere. Barring table limits, twenty-four passes would

do it. Of course if you feel lucky a lottery ticket would do just as well.

The only sure ways of making money are;

“Man at work or Money at work”

But you can have fun with this doubling a dime business over the dinner

table with friends, or at a business lunch. You can do this with a penny too.

Oddly enough, while you only have to double a dime 24 times to pass the

million dollar mark, you need only double a penny 27 times to achieve a

similar result. $1,342,177.28

This is the magic of compounding Interest
