Thanks 4 reading. Please let me know which part is not clear

 

The entire Einstein quote was "Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world.

he who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't pays it."

 

I only read the first sentence when I was in college and thought nothing of it.

 

Many years passed, I was lucky to read the 2nd sentence (online, I think) and

realized I was paying instead of earning interests.

 

It was ironic and used to illustrate the point "A little knowledge is a

dangerous thing."
