See how Kuest teaches it

It asks before it tells, so you do the thinking and it sticks.

You: If I put $1,000 in and it grows 5% a year, why isn't it just $50 more every year?
Kuest: Let's use your made-up 5%. After year one you'd have $1,050. What's 5% of $1,050?
You: $52.50. So year two ends at $1,102.50.
Kuest: Right. Why did you gain more in year two than in year one?
You: Because the 5% was on the $50 I already gained too, not just my original $1,000.
Kuest: That's compounding. Real returns aren't fixed and can be negative some years, but the math of growth on growth is why starting early matters.

Compounding means gains earn gains, so time matters, though real returns vary and are never guaranteed.
