Mastering Retirement Planning
Retirement planning is the process of determining your future income goals and the actions necessary to achieve them. It involves identifying sources of income, estimating expenses, implementing a savings program, and managing assets and risk.
The Three Phases of Retirement
Modern retirement planning breaks your life into three phases: Accumulation (your working years where you save and invest heavily), Transition (the years immediately surrounding retirement where you adjust your risk profile), and Distribution (withdrawing your assets safely without running out of money).
Frequently Asked Questions
How does inflation impact my retirement corpus?
Inflation is the silent killer of retirement plans. If inflation averages 6%, your cost of living will double every 12 years. Your retirement corpus must be invested in growth assets (like equities) to outpace inflation even after you stop working.
What is sequence of returns risk?
It is the risk of experiencing poor market returns in the first few years of your retirement. If the market crashes right after you retire and you are forced to withdraw money, it permanently damages your portfolio's ability to recover.
