Power of Compounding - What it actually means

-
Compounding is the first step towards long-term wealth creation. Compounding allows you to earn interest on your principal and on the interest that you reinvest. It helps you build a large corpus over time with the smallest of initial investment.

For example:
Suppose you invest Rs.1,00,000 today for a period of 30 years, this is what you would earn under various rate of returns:


Here is decoding it for you:

Few things are obvious. If you had kept money in the bank for 30 years you would have earned 5%. Your Rs.1,00,000 would have become Rs.4,32,000. But since the inflation is more (approximately 8%) you would have actually lost money. If you are smart enough to invest in a mutual fund and got a return of 15% pa, your Rs.1,00,00 would have become Rs.66,21,000. This is far better than what you would've earned in a bank. 

If you are smart trader dealing directly in the stock market, you would've earned anything from 20% to 30% pa depending on your trading style (swing trader/derivatives trader/investor etc).

As you can see, it is not enough that you work for money but you should also ensure that the money works for you. According to Warren Buffet, people who cannot make their money work for them, end up working for the rest of their life for money.

M ajor Kumud Dogra, donning her crisp uniform, marches forward. This is perhaps of one of the saddest moments of her life – as she pays homage to her martyred husband, IAF pilot Wing Commander Dushyant Vats who was killed in a microlight helicopter crash in Assam. But she isn’t alone. Bundled in her arms is her 5-day baby, one who never had the chance to see her father alive. This picture of Major Kumud Dogra, walking to her husband’s funeral with her baby in her arms. It is difficult to imagine how one can have the courage to shield themselves and not break down in the final moments of losing their dear ones. The courage, resilience and indomitable spirit of the army woman, while bidding her husband goodbye, has inspired many. h ttps://www.thebetterindia.com/132396/army-martyr-husband-newborn/

Two years ago my teacher sent the entire class on an assignment as part of our Principles of Marketing subject in which we had to visit different retail outlets and check which company manufactured them. I remember going to one such place with 3 other class mates, with Note Pad open in our phones and discreetly clicking pictures of all HUL products. It sort of felt weird at first because we had never done the picture clicking part before, but slowly got used to it as soon as we realized that the line of HUL products was just never ending. We submitted the assignment the next day and that was the end of the story. But just yesterday, I opened the HUL website again as part of my semester  VI Logistics subject assignment (yes I do get homework even in TY!). I was surprised by the products that I saw.
