How far do you want to land?

Want to touch down on that mountain? Cross that sea?

Create a bucket list of your retirement dreams

Define achievable goals for your family

Segregate them into essential goals & leisure goals.

 

What's the wind resistance like?

Now that you have your dreams in sight, know what might stop you from achieving them.

Calculate and estimate the expenses for your overall lifestyle, not just your daily expenses

Consider perks from your company, which will not continue post retirement

Consider inflation

Don’t forget to provision for emergencies.

 

How big a parachute do you require?

Once you detail out your post retirement requirements,
it’s time to define how big a retirement amount you need.

Amount Required = Investments that can cover your family’s
(Expenses + Goals + Lifestyle + Emergencies)

 

How aerodynamic do you need to be?

Firstly, figure out how big a retirement parachute you've already secured.

Tag your current investments for the golden years

Include your employer corpus.

 

Check how big a canopy you need to add for safe landing?

Does your estimated corpus through current investments equal your required amount?
