That little drop

Yesterday I got a call from a sales girl who pushed to sell me a membership card for a chain of hotel. The chain offered a host of discounts. Of course, you have to spend to get those discounts - that being the whole idea. I hesitated. Did not want to spend Rs. 6000 on something I did not need desperately. The girl persisted. "It is only Rs. 16 per day, sir," she said.

She is right. Less than Rs. 16.50 per day for an entire year would be around Rs. 6000.

The funny thing is that the reverse is also true.
If I save Rs. 16 per day I would save Rs 6000 per year.
That's the crux of saving.
You only need to save a little every day.
Just a little.
Every day.
