Invest early

Coming from Middle class family, I have hardly seen any investment strategy or advice from my parents. But to all youngsters, please start investing early in your career, rather than pushing for new home & expensive cars, iPhones. Don’t need to invest in stocks & trading but start a step-up SIP with 500₹ Small Cap MF, that will support you in long term.

Everyone climbs accordingly, me & my friend started jobs at same time. He has been investing since 23 & now made a corpus of 6.2 cr (he is not even in FAANG). Now even my salary is 3 x into his but if we both get laid-off today then he can enjoy his life without any worry!

So it means if you earn 30K, you shouldn’t invest right? Wait till you reach 45-60L/year?

I'm from a Commerce Background and barely see any of my friends who are interested/know about investing including some who are almost CAs.

At max they are interested in options/swings, so glad to see people here are actively investing!
