I was listening to a podcast yesterday and found this so interesting, I had to share it with you. Okay !! Now !! . Let me tell you a story about Raj. He wanted to buy a house, so he took a ₹30 lakh home loan. The interest rate was 8%, and he had 30 years to pay it back. Sounds okay, right? But guess what? After 30 years, Raj ended up paying nearly ₹90 lakh!

That’s almost three times the loan amount! 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘯; 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘰.
