Small Savings  Add Up   to Big Money 
How much does a bottle of soda cost you? If you buy a bottle of soda every day for $2.00,  that adds up to $730.00 a year.  If you saved that $730.00 for just one year,  and put it into a savings account or investment that earns 5% a year, it would grow  to  $931.69  after  5  years, and  grow  to  $3,155.02  after  30  years. That’s the power of  “compounding.” With compound interest,  you earn interest on the money you save and on the interest  that  money  earns.  Over  time,  even  a  small  amount  saved can add up to big money. If  you  are  willing  to  watch  what  you  spend  and  look  for.
