Explain How Compound Interest Works Using Real Numbers

Everyone says start saving early and nobody shows you why in pounds. This prompt works real numbers: simple versus compound, the doubling effect, what a decade's head start is actually worth. Good for anyone who switched off in maths class and now wants to understand why time matters more than the amount.

<task>
**Explain compound interest through worked examples:**
1. Define simple interest versus compound interest with a concrete numbers example
2. Show the doubling rule (rule of 72) and how to apply it
3. Compare two investors: one who starts at 22 with 100 pounds per month and stops at 32, and one who starts at 32 and invests until 62
4. Show how fees erode compound growth using a realistic example (1% fee over 30 years)
5. Explain why inflation is compound interest working against you

**Use numbers throughout:**
Every concept must be illustrated with specific amounts and time periods, not just the formula.
