You asked for it, and now you're paying for it. Compound interest, the gift that keeps on giving... and taking.
Imagine waking up every morning to find your bank account has grown by 10% overnight, but it's not because you made a good investment, no, it's because you're paying for that one latte you bought 5 years ago.
Or, picture this: you're trying to save up for a down payment on a house, but the numbers keep growing faster than your savings. It's like the interest is a living thing, feeding on your hopes and dreams.
