5 Basic Points to Keep in Mind
- Start Now: You can see the cost of delay, in a mere 5 years between X and Y.
- Invest long-term: Power of compounding is the 8th wonder of the world (Einstein)-The longer you invest, the more you accumulate. X invested the longest time, resulting in the biggest corpus.
- Invest regularly and remain invested: Discipline is key when it comes to saving. All 3 invested Rs. 5000 every month.
- Don’t be affected by market vagaries: SIP’s will help average out the cost of your investments. (Rupee Cost Averaging)
- Easy on the pocket: You don’t need a lumpsum -a small amount every month counts a long way.
