Retirement does not get enough attention as, for most people retirement, it is atleast two or three decades into the future. The reason why one should have a retirement plan are:
1. People are living longer (85 years)
2. Inflation (6% in India)
3. Lack of a government sponsored social security system

👉 Why should you start retirement planning early?

If you have age on your side, then retirement planning can be a very easy exercise as one needs to put in a relatively low investment and then allow compounding to do its work & garner a lot of wealth into your retirement bucket

But if you are someone who is a bit late on retirement planning, then here are some steps that you can take starting today to close the gap
1. Start saving more
2. Rejig your portfolio allocation
3. If need be, increase your retirement age

👉 How to determine your retirement corpus?

Building a retirement plan is about answering two key questions -
1. How much money should you have by the time you hit your retirement age?
2. How to go about building this retirement corpus?

On the question of how much money one needs to have, there are two ways of calculating this – a) using the 4% retirement rule or b) a more scientific retirement calculation method

The idea behind the 4% rule was not about calculating the amount of retirement money you need but to determine how much you could spend during your retirement years without the risk of running out of money

The other scientific approach revolves around answering these five variables
1. At what age are you likely to retire?
2. What is your current monthly expenditure?
3. What’s the life expectancy? (assume at 85 years)
4. What is the expected rate of inflation over the long term? (go with 6%)
5. What are your expected pre and post retirement returns from your investments?

👉 How to build your retirement corpus?

The process of building a retirement corpus starts with an understanding of how much investable money you currently have and where that money is

The second step involves a projection of how your money will shape up. When doing projections, it is important to match the instrument with its performance assumptions. When making projections, don’t be too aggressive with your mutual funds. It is better to be conservative

The third and final step is to create a plan that takes us closer to our targeted retirement corpus. Since this is a future plan, do give more preference to planned and systematic investment avenues like your EPF or PPF contributions, your NPS contributions and most definitely to your mutual fund systematic investment plans
