It's blowing my mind that I just did a ctrl-F for "compound interest" in this thread and got zero hits. It's not even part of the discussion any more.

Why? Perhaps we're just assuming we all know how it works. Or, at 2% to -0.5%, it really doesn't make a big difference.

If you have 200k and add 20k for 30 years plus compounded interest at 2% you’ll have 1,189,861.13 at the end.

And (to return to the original post), how much do you have at compounding of 0% or -0.5%?
