Frequently Asked

What is the opportunity cost of blinkit daily grocery?

Investing that same amount at 12% CAGR for 30 years results in approximately ₹2.1 Crore, making the true cost far higher than the sticker price.

How does PaisaProof calculate this?

We use the same monthly annuity-due compounding convention as professional SIP calculators. Every rupee not spent is modeled as being invested at month-start for 30 years.

What is the true opportunity cost of this habit?

While the daily cost seems small, the compound interest lost over 30 years means you are sacrificing years of potential financial freedom.

Should I eliminate this habit entirely?

Not necessarily. The goal is intentionality. Once you know the true cost, you can decide if the present value is worth the future sacrifice.

What happens if I only cut this habit in half?

You still recapture 50% of the opportunity cost, which could easily amount to tens of lakhs over your working life.

Can small daily expenses really add up to crores?

Yes. Due to the exponential nature of compound interest, time is the biggest multiplier of even small capital amounts.
