1). My money will never double. Let's talk about Jon's money instead.

2). It doesn't matter how much he deposits into the account. The time required for it

to double is the same in any case.

3). At 8% interest compounded annually, the money is very very very nearly ... but

not quite ... doubled at the end of 9 years.

At the end of the 9th year, the original 1,000 has grown to 1,999.0046. If the same

rate of growth were operating continuously, then technically, it would take another

2days 8hours 38minutes to hit 2,000.

But it's not growing continuously; interest is only being paid once a year. So if Jon

insists on waiting for literally double or better, then he has to wait until the end

of the 10th year, and he'll collect 2,158.92 .
