Our key considerations
Estimating Expenses
When planning for retirement, it is crucial to estimate your expenses meticulously. These expenses can be categorized into two main types: essential and discretionary.
Essential expenses encompass necessary outlays that are challenging to eliminate or reduce. They include items such as insurance premiums, food, taxes, utilities, and healthcare costs. On the other hand, discretionary expenses consist of non-essential expenditures like travel, entertainment, luxury items, and charitable donations. While discretionary expenses enhance the quality of life, they are not deemed critical for survival.
Retirement Strategy
The primary objective of a well-devised retirement strategy is to ensure that your assets will last throughout your lifetime. Since it is impossible to predict one’s lifespan accurately, actuarial tables serve as a useful starting point for making financial calculations related to retirement planning.
Additionally, it is essential to consider the impact of inflation on your finances. To combat inflation effectively, many retirees opt for maintaining an equity-heavy asset allocation in their investment portfolio. By investing in suitable stocks with growth potential that align with your risk tolerance post-retirement, you can strive to outpace inflation and preserve the purchasing power of your savings over time.
