Investing Early vs. Later: Why Time Beats Bigger Investments

Imagine two people, Aarav and Meera, wanting to invest money.

Aarav starts early with a smaller amount, while Meera starts later with a larger amount.

Even though Meera invests the same total amount as Aarav, because Aarav starts earlier, his money grows much more.

This is due to 'compounding', where your earnings also earn more money over time.

The longer you invest, the more your money grows.

So, starting small but early is usually better than starting big later because you get more time for your money to grow.
