Default Need help conceptualizing the constant \"e\"

I've used the constant e many times in my finance classes and know how to use it, but I don't understand what e is. To me it's just a number and I use it for discounting.

I looked it up in wikipedia and that page confuses me.

Can anyone explain e to me in kindergarten language?
