From Rs 2,500 Monthly SIP to Rs 3 cr Corpus: How long-term investment can bring magical results from your SIP investment; see calculations to know that
From Rs 2,500 monthly SIP investment to Rs 3 cr corpus: We may delay investing or do not start it at all, thinking that our low investment monthly amount wont make an impact. But its the duration of the investment that matters a lot. Even if one gets modest returns but continues their investment for a large time frame, they can gather a large retirement corpus in the long run.
From Rs 2,500 monthly SIP investment to Rs 3 cr corpus: What are the excuses of people for not investing? They say my monthly income is meagre; there is hardly anything left at the end of the month that I can invest; I want to invest, but what if I lose my job and the bank penalises me for missing monthly investment instalments.
If the income is meagre, one can start with a small monthly investment amount and can gradually build up as income increases; the best way to invest is to opt for auto mode, where your investment amount is deducted from your salary early in the month.
There are many investment options where one can stop their investing if they lose a job and their monthly income stops and restart when they get a job.
One can build a sizeable retirement corpus only if investing is a habit and they do it for the long term consistently.
