What is the true cost of ordering food every day?
While a single order might cost ₹300-500, doing it daily sums up to a massive monthly leak. Invested over 30 years, this could cost you crores.
How does PaisaProof calculate the Swiggy opportunity cost?
We assume every rupee you would have spent on food delivery is instead invested at the start of each month in an index fund returning 12% CAGR.
Is ordering food completely bad?
No, but blind, habitual ordering without awareness of its long-term cost destroys wealth. We advocate for mindful spending.
How much could I save by cooking at home?
Cooking at home reduces meal costs by 60-80%. Redirecting just the difference into an SIP dramatically accelerates financial freedom.
Why use 12% CAGR for calculations?
12% is a widely accepted historical return for broad Indian equity mutual funds over long horizons like 15-30 years.
