Moni (YC W22)

Do we have to work till the official retirement age of 60? Or can we find financial freedom earlier? Let’s do the maths! If you start investing N20,000 per month at 25, with a solid 21% annual interest (like the one we offer at Moni), by age 50, you’d be sitting on over N180 million. At that point, your investments alone could generate roughly N3.1 million per month in interest. Increasing your investment to N50,000 per month could push your portfolio closer to N526 million by 50, enough to consider retiring early! Every year you wait costs you millions in potential earnings, the best time to start is NOW! Register for the “Women that Fire” webinar to learn how women in their 20s and 30s are building wealth and preparing for retirement.
