The Concept of Compound InterestAverage vs. Actual Rate of Return and InterestThe Compounding CurveWebster's Definition of InterestOther Glossary Definitions in Becoming Your Own BankerDefinition of Lease/Lessee/LessorDefinition of a MortgageDefinition of OwnerBook A Strategy Call The Concept of Compound Interest There are several ways to think about interest, and one is the cost of money or the cost of banking. When most people think about banking, they think about the banking industry. However, we want to talk about the banking function, by which we mean HOW money is handled. The banking function includes making deposits and withdrawals, buying financial products, and moneylending. While banks typically perform this function, there are ways to perform this function outside of banks, like with the Infinite Banking Concept, which allows you to perform the banking function with your own capital (as well as your insurance company’s capital). Interest is the cost of using that banking function. You can pay interest to institutions for the ability to use their money, or they can pay you for storing your money with them or buying one of their products. You can also pass up interest earnings by paying for things in cash, rather than financing them and continuing to benefit from compounding interest earnings on your pool of capital. So interest, essentially, is the cost of money. It can flow toward you or away from you, yet it’s a factor in every financial transaction you make, even if you’re just passing it up. Average vs. Actual Rate of Return and Interest Many people equate interest with a rate of return. And while both involve percentages, they’re not quite the same. First, let’s take a look at what people think about rates of return.
