What the gap means

That gap isn't because you didn't save. It's because compound growth needs time, not effort. A ₹10,000 SIP starting at 25 beats a ₹20,000 SIP starting at 35 — even though the second person contributed more.

The most expensive decision in personal finance is the one you don't make. Today is the second-best day to start. Yesterday was the first.
