Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Harry, a Year 10 student from Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys, to Citrus Financial for his work experience. We set Harry a challenging project: to create a short video advising young people on the benefits of investing early.
Harry approached the task with enthusiasm and creativity, demonstrating an impressive understanding of the subject matter and a keen eye for design. He took on the roles of copywriter, designer, and video editor, and the result is a fantastic piece of content that we’re proud to share.
Why Investing Early Matters
Investing early is a crucial step in securing a financially stable future. Here are three of the key things Harry picked out:
- Compound Interest: The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to grow. Compound interest means you earn interest on your initial investment and the interest that accumulates over time.
- Financial Discipline: Starting early helps build good financial habits. Regular investing teaches discipline and the value of saving, which are essential skills for managing money effectively.
- Achieving Long-Term Goals: Whether it’s buying a house, funding education, or preparing for retirement, investing early provides a head start in accumulating the necessary funds to achieve these goals.
Watch Harry's Video
We think Harry’s video is great at communicating these points in an engaging and informative way. He’s done an amazing job, and we’re excited to share his video with you. Take a look below!
Thank you, Harry, for your hard work and creativity. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors, and we have no doubt that you have a bright future ahead in whatever career you choose to pursue.
The value of pensions and investments and the income they produce can fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you invested.
