Who is the intended audience for this blog? Primary Audience : Parents of young children who whats to see his or her children do well in their life.

What is in this blog? This blog will help you to visualize the impact of investing $100 on your child's birthday till the time they are 18 years age.

Visualization Created for Sophie : Julie is 28 years old and mother of a new born Carrie i) If she invest $100 on every birthday till the time Carrie becomes 18. What will be Carrie's balance by age and what will be Carrie's balance at the age of 100?

With 11.13% return, Carrie or Carrie's family would have $29 millions+ and with 14.51% return it will be $481 Million dollars+ when she will be celebrating her 100th birthday.

The above table is the projection of the balance by the age considering different lifetime return percentage of four (4) Fidelity Funds which are in existence for more than 30 years.
