Generally, people keep wondering what is the right age to invest in a mutual fund, equities or any other investment avenue. The general feeling is either it’s too early or too late to make an investment at a given point in time. But the reality is, the right age to start investing is NOW i.e. the moment you decide to invest. The sooner you start investing, the better it is as it allows the compounding effect to show its magic over the long term. The longer you stay invested, the more time your money gets to compound and grow.
