Although blogs and newspapers alike have oft posthumously placed a familiar quotation pertaining to compound interest — it being the most powerful force in the universe or man’s greatest invention — in the mouth of Albert Einstein, there is no evidence he ever said such a thing. He might have; the sentiment matches what seems to be this particular genius’s sense of humor.
Whether he said these words or something similar is relevant only to purists who say serious journalists shouldn’t attribute quotes willy-nilly to emphasize their importance. It doesn’t change the fact that compound interest should be on the mind of anyone looking to build wealth over time.
