Step-up SIPs
A systematic investment that rises by a set percentage each year, usually in line with expected income growth. It closes the gap between what you can afford today and what your goal actually needs, without any single jump feeling large.
What it means

Why it matters to a household
It closes the gap between what you can afford today and what your goal actually needs, without any single jump feeling large.
Where it trips people up
Setting it and never checking whether income actually rose. A step-up during a flat income year quietly squeezes the budget.
In an Indian household
A 10% annual step-up roughly matches the trajectory of many Indian salaries and dramatically shortens the time to most goals.
