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

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
Keep a three-month cushion
