<prompt> Human: Please refer to the picture below about 2 different investors, their principles, interest rate and time frame. Is something like this even possible? Can you actually make this amount of money just from putting money into a bank and letting it sit there? It doesnt seem real. If you really can do it, how?  <response>: Can you actually make this amount of money just from putting money into a bank and letting it sit there? No. The graphic assumes 12 returns, which is insane. Also, the accounts are tax-deferred, not just putting into a bank. But the overall principle is correct. Save early, save often.
