Power of Compounding

We all think we’re doing the right thing with our money—whether it’s saving, spending wisely, or budgeting. But what if I told you that the biggest mistake most people make is not doing enough with their money?

Compounding. If you’re not familiar with it or aren’t leveraging it, it’s time to face the truth: You’re leaving money on the table. But don’t worry, it’s not too late to change the game.

So, What Is Compounding, Really?

Compounding is like giving your money a little push, and then watching it grow on its own. It's when your money starts earning interest on the interest you’ve already earned. Sounds simple, right? But trust me, the results are anything but simple.

Let’s break it down:

• Imagine: You start with ₹10,000.

• Annual return: 10%.
  

After one year, you’ll have ₹11,000. But here's where it gets interesting: The next year, you earn interest on ₹11,000, not just your original ₹10,000. And as you keep going, your money keeps growing faster and faster—thanks to compounding.

It’s like planting a seed and watching it turn into a tree. But the longer you wait to plant that seed, the fewer fruits you’ll get. You can’t undo time, but you can definitely start now to make the most of it.

Why You Should Care About Compounding

1. Time is Everything The best part? Compounding gets better the more time you give it. The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to grow. If you’re in your 20s, even small contributions can lead to huge growth in the future.

2. Reinvest and Repeat With compounding, every penny you earn gets added to the pot, and then it earns more pennies. This cycle builds on itself, turning small investments into big returns over time.

3. Set It and Forget It With the power of compounding, your money works for you even when you’re not paying attention. You don’t need to constantly be in the market, or picking the best stocks—compounding will do most of the heavy lifting.

4. The Rule of 72: How to See the Magic Want a shortcut to understanding compounding? The Rule of 72 tells you how long it’ll take for your money to double. Just divide 72 by your rate of return. For example, at 6% return, your money will double in 12 years.
   

Every day you delay is a day you’re missing out on compounding your wealth. Think about it—what if you’d started investing just five years ago? Or even a year ago? The earlier you start, the bigger the difference compounding makes.

It’s never going to be the "perfect" time to start. But the best time to start is now. Even small amounts can grow exponentially over time if you start early and stay consistent. The longer you wait, the more you miss out on this incredible growth.

So, what are you waiting for? The power of compounding is at your fingertips—ready to start working for you.
