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.
Read the Investing desk-
01
Pay yourself first
Automate a transfer to savings on payday, before rent and before the takeaway. Money you never see is money you rarely miss.
-
02
Learn the rule of 72
Divide 72 by your yearly return to estimate how long your money takes to double. At 8% a year, that is roughly nine years.
-
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
Keep a three-month cushion

Business
Earnings calls, takeovers and the founders betting the company on the next quarter.
