Rs 4,000 Monthly SIP for 33 years vs Rs 40,000 Monthly SIP for 15 Years: One of the major excuses for starting investment for a common man investor is that 'I don't have sufficient savings a month.' The definition of 'sufficient' can differ from person to person. For someone, it can be Rs 3,000 a month; for others, it can be Rs 5,000; for you, it can be Rs 10,000. But if one gives sufficient time for their investment to grow, no amount is small or big. It can happen because of the power of compounding. See examples below of how amounts of Rs 1,000, Rs 2,000, and Rs 3,000 monthly investments can generate funds worth crores and which can create a higher corpus: Rs 4,000 monthly SIP investment for 33 years or Rs 40,000 monthly SIP investment for 15 years.
