The magic of compounding
Your money earning money
Compounding just means your money starts earning money, and then that new money also starts earning. It is a snowball. Small at first, then surprisingly big.
The rupee example. Put aside ₹100 every day. That is ₹3,000 a month. Invest it steadily and let it grow at about 12% a year, a rough long run number for Indian equity funds used only for illustration. After about 30 years, that steady ₹100 a day can grow to roughly ₹1 crore. The money you put in is a small part. The rest is compounding doing the heavy lifting.
The lesson is not the exact figure. It is the direction. Start small, start early, stay steady, and time does most of the work for you.
This is an illustration to teach a concept, not a promise of returns. Real returns move up and down and are never guaranteed. This is not financial advice.
