FINANCIAL SECURITY :

As per current health scenario in India and the rising expectations from the employee to deliver results by the employer, it becomes very difficult to retire in the traditional way to work till retirement age especially for the private sector employees where there is no security of retirement benefits, health benefits or any other. Instead, there are taxes levied on citizens after retirement.

3 ways to increase your financial security for your future and start retirement planning earlier are:

a) Increase your direct salary (by improving skill set or better work performance)

b) Starting an alternative or multiple sources of income (e.g. part time coaching, part time audit, renting a house, etc.)

c) Reduce expenditure (sticking only to needs) and Improving saving and investing in a vehicle that compounds your savings per month to wealth creation in long term.

Understanding the power of compounding with a small 3-minute story.

The Rice and the Chessboard Story

A king, an avid chess enthusiast, was undefeated and offered any prize to those who could beat him. A traveling sage challenged the king to a game of chess, with a peculiar reward request.

Place one grain of rice on the first square of a chessboard. Double the grains on each subsequent square (2, 4, 8, etc.). The king, amused by the modest request, agreed to the condition.
The sage won the game, and the king began fulfilling his promise.

The rice quantity increased exponentially. By the 4th row, the total reached 2.1 billion grains of rice. By the 64th square, the total required was 18 quintillion grains.

The king realized the sheer enormity of the number, which was over 2,300 times India’s rice production in 2021.

Summary of the Power of Compounding
This story illustrates exponential growth, also known as compounding. Similarly, investments grow when returns are reinvested. For example, in a lumpsum investment of Rs 1 lakh which grows at 10% annual interest grows to Rs 17.45 lakh in 30 years.

Early gains are small but compound over time, yielding exponentially larger returns. By the 26th year, annual returns surpass the initial investment.

The key to harnessing this magic is patience and staying invested despite market volatility. Time and consistency are vital for realizing the full potential of compounding.

Power of Compounding is a very simple, but effective concept which we learned during our school days. In compounding, interest is calculated on the principal...
