Expert Answer

$100 is a great start! Here is how:

Option 1: Index Fund — Open a brokerage account (Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab — all free). Buy an S&P 500 index fund. Even $100/month at 10% average return = $76,000 in 20 years.

Option 2: SIP in Mutual Fund — Set up a $100/month SIP in a diversified equity fund.

Option 3: Robo-advisor — Apps like Betterment or Wealthfront invest automatically based on your risk profile.

The key is starting early and being consistent. $100/month beats $0/month every time.
