AIBU to think compound interest is surprisingly powerful over time?

To think that compound interest is WILD? I know it works negatively with mortgages etc but also over time with tiny amounts of money it can grow exponentially. I realise that many people probably know this already but I didn’t realise how much of an effect it can have!

I think this should be taught at school. Scrap making a macrame plant pot holder and do personal finance classes.
