Small habits, compounding results
Headlines move markets for a day. Habits move your finances for decades. Four rules our reporters keep coming back to, whatever the week brings.
General guidance, not personal advice.

02
Learn the rule of 72

03
Treat fees as a tax
A 1% annual fee can quietly eat a fifth of a portfolio over thirty years. Check what your funds charge — then compare.

04
