One effective way to use the "Power of Compunding" is by investing in SIPs. Making a consistent monthly contribution (ideally 20% of your income) to SIPs will make your life easier later. When should you start the SIP? Now. What else can you do? Increase the SIP contribution by 2% every year. 1st year - 20% of income, 2nd year - 22% of income and so on.

Is Goal-based saving a good approach? What if you can't afford to pay the required SIP to reach your goal after X years? The best policy is to estimate your expenses (including the luxury budget) and invest the remaining as monthly SIP. Ensure that your living expense isn't more than 80% of your income. Otherwise, consider finding an extra source of earning.

Started learning Python and Machine Learning? Google Colab is one of the best tools available to get hands-on experience.

Have you experienced the ostrich effect? This psychological phenomenon occurs when you ignore negative feedback or information, similar to how an ostrich buries its head in the sand when sensing a threat.

Do you know about the learning Pyramid? The learning pyramid shows how to learn a new topic: Listen, Read, Discuss, apply, and teach. But eventually, we lose our learned skillset if we don't practise them regularly. In fact, sometimes, we relearn the same topic during the course of practice. Practice is the key. Teaching someone is even better!
