Reinvest the interest, or take it out?

Same money, same rate. The only difference: you leave the interest in so it earns too, or you take it out every time.

A small difference. Leaving it in matters far more than how often.

Just an example, not a promise. Interest is worked out monthly on your balance; "Reinvest it" adds it back every month. Real returns go up and down.
