Why Start Young? The Power of Financial Habits

Financial literacy is often treated as an "adult" topic, something to worry about when you get your first job or file taxes. But the truth is, the relationship we build with money starts much earlier.

The Power of Compounding

Albert Einstein called compound interest the "eighth wonder of the world." The earlier you start saving, the more time your money has to grow on its own. A student saving just ₹500 a month starting at age 12 will have significantly more wealth by age 30 than someone starting at age 25 with double the amount.

Building Discipline

Managing pocket money is the first real-world test of budgeting. Learning to distinguish between 'needs' (a school notebook) and 'wants' (the latest video game) builds a mental muscle called delayed gratification, which is crucial for long-term success.
