The Power of Compounding ⚡

The guy who started at 22 vs the guy who started at 32

Meet Arjun and Rohit. Both engineers. Same salary. Arjun starts investing ₹5,000/month at age 22. At 32, he stops completely — never invests again. Total invested: ₹6,00,000 Rohit starts at 32, invests ₹5,000/month until 60. Total invested: ₹16,80,000 At age 60, assuming 12% annual returns: Arjun has: **₹3.8 Crore** Rohit has: **₹1.7 Crore** Arjun invested LESS money. But started earlier. He won by ₹2.1 Crore just because of time.

Key Takeaway

In compounding, time is more powerful than the amount you invest.
