Saving money means putting money in a Recurring Deposit, isn’t it?
Money Clubbing is the “latest” way of setting aside a fixed amount of money regularly (weekly, fortnightly or monthly)
And, it is 10 times more powerful than an RD!
In a Money club one can pick up multiples ( 6-10x) of what one has saved till date but in RDs one gets back only what they save with some paltry interest.
The way you save money in a Money Club is the same as you do in an RD but the returns you can make, if you chose not to pick the funds early on, can be eye-popping!
With Money Club You Can Earn Around 10-20% Return On Your Investment
Here is an example of a real Money Club on our platform:
Table #1: Assume you invest in an RD with a bank
You earn Rs 70/- interest in 7 months.
The table below shows you the interest earned :
- Monthly Installment = ₹500
- Tenure = 7 months
- Rate of interest = 6% per annum.
