Think like this:
👉 What you have today = Current Value
👉 What it can become later = Future Value
What is Current Value?
Current value means what you have right now.
Examples:
- ₹10,000 salary
- ₹5,000 savings
- Your current skills (like basic Excel, driving, etc.)
Problem: Value Goes Down If You Don’t Grow It
1. Money loses value (Inflation)
Example:
- Today ₹100 can buy snacks + chai
- After few years, same ₹100 may only buy chai
So money sitting idle = losing value
2. Salary stays stuck
Example:
- Person A earns ₹15,000/month
- After 5 years, still ₹15,000
Why? No new skills
Meanwhile…
- Person B learns new skills
- Salary grows to ₹40,000/month
Same starting point, different future
3. Small Business Example
Example:
Shopkeeper A:
- Earns ₹1,000/day
- Doesn’t improve shop or products
After 3 years → still same income
Shopkeeper B:
- Adds online orders (WhatsApp, Instagram)
- Improves products
After 3 years → ₹3,000/day
👉 That’s future value growth
What is Future Value?
Future value means growth of your money, skills, or work over time
Simple idea:
👉 Don’t just keep things — grow them
