Think of investing as planting a seed today so you can sit
in the shade of a tree tomorrow. While saving keeps your money safe,
investing makes your money work for you.Beating Inflation: Prices for milk, petrol, and school fees

the goal of investing should be to grow your wealth faster than the cost of
living.The Magic of Compounding: This is the "Eighth Wonder of

2. When Should You Start Investing?
Let's look at Ananya and Rahul: Ananya starts a SIP of
₹5,000 at age 25.
Rahul waits until he is 35 and starts a SIP of ₹10,000
(double of Ananya's amount!).
So, Rahul invested twice as much money every month and
overall, almost 50% more investment at 30 lakhs compared to 21 lakhs by Ananya
still Ananya ended up with 70% more wealth simply because she gave her money 10
extra years to grow.
