Retirement Income Planning
Most important: Two things
Duration & Direction
Duration- Retirement income should take care of a person life long.
Direction – Our income should continuously rise throughout our lives.
True safety is in preservation of purchasing power.
Don’t overestimate the risk of volatility & underestimate the risk of purchasing power.
Difference between Fact & Fear –
Fear – Having fear of equity ups and down is natural.
Fact – Knowing the truth makes you stronger in a bad period.
And fact is that equity market has given 20x growth in last 20 years compared to FD growth of 5x.
In last 30 years there were 5 times when market crashed.
1992, 2000, 2008, 2014 & 2020 …..after every fall, market has risen 5x.
Be a owner by having great company’s portfolio.
Doing FD is risky and will make you a Loaner.
It’s a Risk of your dignity and independence if your money didn’t outlive your life.
Best wishes to you to plan your Retirement wisely.
