Ever heard "Investing is only for the rich" or "Credit cards are debt traps"? These money myths stop people from taking charge of their finances. It’s time to bust these myths and take control of your financial future!
Myth #1 – Investing Is Only for the Rich
You don’t need lakhs to start investing. Thanks to apps like Groww, Paytm Money, and Zerodha, you can begin with as little as ₹500.
Example: A ₹500 SIP in a mutual fund can grow into thousands over time, thanks to compound interest.
Truth: Investing isn’t about how much you start with—it’s about starting early and staying consistent.Myth #2 – Credit Cards Are Debt Traps
Credit cards aren’t evil—they’re financial tools. If used smartly, they can work to your advantage.
How to use a credit card the right way:
- Pay your bill in full every month to avoid interest.
- Earn cashbacks & rewards on everyday expenses.
- Use it for planned purchases, not impulse buys.
Truth: When used with discipline, credit cards can help you build a strong credit score and even save money!Myth #3 – You Need Lakhs to
Save for Your Future
Even if you earn a small amount, saving is possible. Start by putting aside just 10% of your income.
Example: If you save ₹1000 per month, in a year, that’s ₹12,000—small steps lead to big goals!
Truth: The habit of saving is more important than the amount. Small savings today lead to financial freedom tomorrow.
