If the Snowball earns £9.5k in income this year and then u compound the earned dividends at 7%, the following will be your plan to follow.

income 19k pa

Twenty years

income 38k pa

Thirty years

income 76k pa

U will have to allow for inflation and in some years u may not be able to re-invest the earned dividends at 7% but the totals are not in doubt just the number of years.

Remember with compound growth, u make more income in the final years than in most of the early years.

Plant a twig

U may not have a pot of money for investment but investing monthly on a regular basis the following could be achieved.

Remember inflation, so £250 in 20 years would be a much lesser commitment than £250 today.
