MAGIC OF COMPOUNDING

MONEYMONK WEEKLY MESSAGE 18/2020

Magic of compounding
What is compounding ?
When a sum of money is saved/invested in an account  like PPF regularly every month. Interest is added to it periodically and the interest earned again earns interest thus getting compounded. Over longer periods the growth is magically high and thus is ideal for creating retirement funds.
Example
Rs.1000/- saved and invested every month in Provident Fund which gives 8% return annually grows as under (figures are approximate)
20 years  Rs. 6 Lakhs
25 years        10Lakhs
30 years        15Lakhs
40 years        34Lakhs
Key points to note
1. Regular savings
2. No withdrawals
3. Longer the period better the savings grow.
4. Requires financial discipline but makes for a happy retired life.
