The Silent Thief: Why ₹1 Crore in 2045 Won't Buy What You Think

Most financial calculators show a big glowing number like "₹2 Crore" and make you feel rich. But if inflation averages 6% over 25 years, a ₹100 grocery basket today will cost ₹429. That means your future ₹2 Crore will only have the purchasing power of ~₹46 Lakhs today!

General CPI (6%) Day-to-day food, fuel, groceries, and consumer goods.
College Education (10%) MBA and engineering tuition doubles every 7.2 years.
Healthcare (12%) Surgeries and specialized hospitalization double every 6 years.

The Solution: You must combine equity mutual funds (yielding 12–14%) with a 10% annual Step-Up SIP to beat both general and lifestyle inflation compounding.
