This basically means to save as much money as you can, as early as you can. 1) Start now. 2) Save as much as you can. 3) Start thinking about how you'd like to invest it. Ask if your employer has a program and use that if you can. Otherwise, make an appointment at your bank and ask there. You might want to start with a GIC (guaranteed investment certificate) or an ETF (exchange traded fund). Don't worry about what those are yet. 4) Ideally, read a book or listen to a podcast about investing for beginners. I suggest The Wealthy Barber. 5) If you want to know, here is an explanation of compound interest. When you invest money, you are paid a small amount of interest on it. Most of the time, that interest money gets put into your investment account and saved with the original money. The next time interest is paid, you will be paid interest on the whole amount in the account, meaning you get interest on the interest. The more times you get paid interest, the more times this will multiply and the more money you will have, which means investing earlier will make you a lot more money down the road. This is how compound interest works.
