When Bobby and Tina first met Erlend, they knew nothing about mutual fund investing. They quickly learned how $5 per week can grow to $223,300 in 40 years. Money invested in a well-chosen mutual fund can earn an average of 12% per year, while bank accounts pay 1% to 5%. Look at the difference over time. The investment returns per dollar are staggering and for only $5 per week!
