Goal
A 20-year-old boda boda rider has a Form 4 education. He joins a boda boda SACCO. He earns KES 900 a day and saves KES 450 of it. He has no family and few emergencies. Illustration: if he saves every day for 15 years and the SACCO grows his savings at 11.5% a year, compounded, he could have about KES 5.9 million at 35. That is from about KES 2.46 million saved. At 11.5%, that pot would pay about KES 676,000 a year in dividends. This is an example, not a promise.
