Make retirement your most important financial planning objective

Any financial planning process needs to have clearly defined goals. In the early years of your working life, wealth growth is normally the primary objective. This, however, needs to be altered now keeping retirement as the main goal. Here's why retirement should become your most important financial planning objective.
  1. Life expectancy has increased in India and in general across the world. You will live longer, but your working lifespan will remain the same. Your non working years could now be as many as your working years. If you live up to 80, you need to plan for at least 20 years of retirement.
  2. Longer life expectancy also means your medical expenses tend to increase disproportionately.
  3. Unlike western nations, India does not have a strong pension system. Do not entirely rely on government pension plans to pay for your retirement.
  4. Inflation in a growing economy can be a real dampener on your plans. Always account for increasing costs.

Work on your financial plan with retirement in mind. Speak to your advisor about:
  1. Your pre and post retirement goals
  2. The lifestyle you wish to maintain post retirement.
  3. Maximizing your current financial assets like real estate, mutual funds, insurance, etc.

Plan for your child’s education

Consult your financial planner to build a corpus for your child’s education. Assuming that this is still 3-5 years away, consider diversified equity funds as an investment.

Build a diversified portfolio

As you grow older, your ability to take risks reduces simply because you have lesser working years left. Your financial plan therefore needs to be tweaked to minimize risk. This usually means more exposure to safer assets like debt funds and gold while progressively reducing exposure to equity.

Get adequate medical cover for you and your family

You probably have this covered already, but it begs to be repeated. Get yourself and your family adequate health cover not just for today's prices but tomorrow's as well. If you think "x" is a suitable amount for medical expenses today, take a medical cover of value "3x". This will ensure that ten to fifteen years later, the medical cover will remain significant in the unfortunate event of you needing it. Medical insurance premiums will be much lower at this age than 10 years later and hence it's a good idea to increase your cover now.
