5 Step Retirement Planning Guide
Step 1: Decide Your Retirement Age
The most common retirement age is 60 years, but it may differ from person to person. For example, one individual would like to work till 65 years of age, while another individual would want to retire early at age 55. Basically, it is a matter of choice.
However, deciding your retirement age early is important because, beyond that point, your regular income would stop, and you would be more dependent upon your savings and investments.
Step 2: Start Early for a Peaceful Retirement
It would be best to plan for your retirement early. Especially if you are young, you have several years in your hand and the power of compounding with you. Delaying your retirement plan might cause you to sacrifice some of your retirement goals or worse, be financially dependent upon your family and children in your twilight years of life.
For example, if you invest in a plan such as Kotak Premium Pension Plan at an early age, it will help you accumulate enough wealth for your retirement while you are earning sufficiently and offer assured benefits to your loved ones in case of your unfortunate demise.
Step 3: Ascertain Your Retirement Corpus
Retirement corpus is the amount you would require after your retirement to sustain the same lifestyle and pursue your post-retirement goals. For this, you need to calculate the current expenses and then calculate your expenses post-retirement considering the rising inflation rates. You can categorise your expenses, such as household, medical, travel, entertainment, EMI, etc.
Step 4: Calculate the Future Value of Your Current Savings
You need to find how much you are able to save each year after meeting all your expenses. You can keep aside a part of your savings towards retirement. The value of money you save today will be far less ten years down the line. Hence, you need to estimate your current saving’s future value considering factors such as the expected rate of return on your investments and inflation.
Step 5: Create a Portfolio and Track Your Progress Regularly
You can seek the help of a professional financial planner to create a diversified portfolio for you. Apart from retirement plans, you can also invest in other assets such as mutual funds, gold, real estate to ensure all your eggs aren’t put in a single basket. Lastly, make sure you track the progress of your portfolio regularly (at least once a year).
Conclusion
Planning your retirement early will allow you to live a financially independent life after your retirement. A reliable retirement plan today can help you live comfortably and worry-free after retirement.
