The Habit That’s Secretly Eating Your Wealth

Ever thought Rs.100 doesn’t matter much?

It’s about the tiny habits that make your money sit idle while inflation quietly eats it. And that’s a bigger threat than any market crash.

Here's What Most People Never Realise

Let’s take a pause.

You open a Demat account.

You invest for a few months. Then life happens. You forget. You postpone.

The money just sits.

Silent. Un-used. Un-attended. Un-invested.

And every month it sits, inflation is quietly reducing its real value.

That Rs.10,000 idle in your bank last year?

It’s worth Rs.9,200 today in terms of purchasing power.

That’s your loss - and it happened while you did nothing wrong.

THE BIGGER RISK? IGNORING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

The real issue? Not showing up for your own money.

Your money is loyal. But if you abandon it - it won’t grow on its own.

Even the best platform, Demat, or mutual fund is powerless… if the investor stays inactive.

THE HIDDEN COST OF DOING NOTHING

Here’s what most people ignore:

Idle savings guaranteed loss (inflation wins every single time)

Postponed investing lost compounding

“I’ll start next month” money sleeping today

Not tracking your SIPs or funds missed opportunities

Not reviewing investments unknown gaps or mistakes

REAL EXAMPLE: RS.100 NOT INVESTED TODAY = RS.1,000 GONE TOMORROW

Let’s say you delay investing Rs.500 monthly – just a few things worth.

In five years, that delay costs you over Rs.35,000 (assuming 12% annual returns).

That’s how money disappears slowly - through innocent delay.

Not scams. Not losses. Just... ignoring it.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY?

• Step 1: REVIEW EVERYTHING YOU OWN

Go to your Demat, mutual funds, bank accounts. See where your money’s lying idle.

• Step 2: CHECK YOUR GOALS

Do your current investments match your future needs? If not, shift gears.

• Step 3: START OR RESTART SIPS

Even Rs.100 SIP matters. But you need to start - not just think about it.

• Step 4: AUTOMATE + MONITOR

Just five minutes a month is enough to check if you're on the right path

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

Don’t treat investing like a ‘whenever I find time’ thing — make it a must-do every month, like paying your bills. Just like you pay rent or EMI, treat your SIP or stock investments the same way.

Even Rs.500 a month can trigger the rhythm—and over time, that rhythm becomes your greatest financial muscle. Set reminders, automate your investments, and use easy platforms like GoPocket to track and tweak your portfolio.

Forget perfection; just be with it and stay aware, that’s what really moves the needle.
