Most of the people I have met have not planned for their retirement as they say 'future is unpredictable and we need to live in present' but my dear friend's future is the outcome of present, our present will decide our future. When we think of retirement we generally think of old age, a period when you have to give up the job and sit at home doing nothing. Contrary to the fact, most of the retiree lives a very active life. We need to seriously consider out planning towards retirement because once we retiree our income stops coming but our expenses remain as it is and in some cases it rises with the rising inflation.
In this regard mutual fund has turned out to be the right answer for making retirement planning easier and safer. Mutual fund being managed by professionals is a key to effective retirement planning.
Some people like it. Some people don't but the fact is that retirement is a reality for every working person. Most young people today think cannot think of retirement as reality as they believe in 'living at present'. However, it is important to plan for your post-retirement life if you wish to retain your financial independence and maintain a comfortable standard of living even when you are no longer earning. This is extremely important, because, unlike developed nations, India does not have a social security net. In India people still depend upon bank savings and fixed deposits for retirement purpose, which is unfortunately inadequate.
Retirement Planning acquires added importance because of the fact that though longevity has increased the number of working years haven't, so you end up spending the last phase of your life without earning.
In simple words, retirement planning means making sure you will have enough money to live on after retiring from work. Retirement should be the best period of your life, when you can literally sit back and relax or enjoy your life by reaping benefits of what you earn in so many years of hard work. But it is easier said than done. To achieve a hassle-free retired life, you need to make prudent investment decisions during your working life, thus putting your hard-earned money to work for you in future.
With the special features of mutual funds like Systematic Investment Plan, Systematic withdrawal plan, systematic transfer plan in addition to other unique features of different funds, the investor can easily plan for its post retirement requirements and ways to achieve it.
Unlike many other countries of west, in India we do not have state-sponsored social security for the retired people. While you may be entitled to a pension or income during retirement, but will it be sufficient post retirement.
Although the compulsory savings in provident fund through both employee and employer contributions should offer some cushion, it may not be enough to support you throughout your retirement. That is why retirement planning is extremely important for every one. More over with mutual funds the investors can actually plan for themselves and also achieve their planned objectives. As compared to direct equities this option of mutual fund is much safer for planning your retirement corpus.
There are many reasons for the working individuals to secure their future emergence of separate families and its attendant insecurity, increasing uncertainties in personal and professional life, the growing trends of seeking early retirement and rising health risks are among few important risks. Besides falling interest rates, also the sustained increase in the cost of living make it a compelling case for individuals to plan their finances to fund their retired life.
Planning for retirement is as important as planning your career and marriage. We need to take conscious and careful decisions to prepare for our retirement. Life takes its own course and from the poorest to the wealthiest, every one gets older with time. We get older every day, without realizing. With our coming old age we tend to become more understanding to the facts of life and realize the importance and impact of retirement. The future depends to a great extent on the choices you make today. Right decisions with the help of proper planning, taken at the right time will assure smile and success at the time of retirement.
In my words, retirement planning means making sure you will have enough money to live on after leaving your work. Retirement should be that period of your life, when you can sit back and relax. Retirement should bring more of enjoyment in your life by reaping benefits of what you earn in so many years of hard work. But it is easier said than done. Most of the people live their worst life during retirement. To achieve a hassle-free retired life, you need to make right investment decisions during your working life, thus putting your hard-earned money to work for you in future. If you are not very aware of the investment that you need to undertake then you can easily take help of online advisers to help you with your retirement plan through mutual funds. The earlier you start the better it is for you.

Early Retirement Planning Is Best
Retirement planning need not be just gardening or reading. A well planned retirement scheme could give you more of life's benefits with a whole lot of thrilling experiences without having the hassle of tending to children or grandchildren. To plan a proper retirement life one would need time, commitment, adjustment, detailing and proper calculating for the future.
As it is well known that nobody could predict the future and the growth of inflation it is essential that every individual makes a proper retirement plan. With the days of joint families gone, due to great westernization of all countries imitating the US and the UK, today's generation prefer nuclear families.
How many of us today have planned for our retirement well in advance? We could be just counted, compared to the vast population in our countries. So many of us having been employed in Government organizations generally tend to forget about retirement plans, as since the organization provides us with a pension after retirement. But have we ever looked into the aspects of sufficiency of the provided amount. In most cases the amount provided as a pension scheme is barely sufficient to pay for housing itself let alone the need for other extracurricular activities for special occasions and holidays.
Hence a special government or non-government retirement plan is essential for every individual. When making out a retirement plan one should ensure that all needs and requirements are met with simple and easy operational schemes. As retirement in itself means old age, it would be improper to go around following on the organization for implementation of schemes.
To ensure making the best for the retirement Plan, proper calculation of your current age, expected age of retirement, life expectancy, years after retirement, current earnings, expected annual growth in income, annual income at retirement age, rate of return on retirement corpus, inflation rate and inflation adjusted rate of return/real rate of return should be jotted and taken into consideration.
If all of the above aspects have been looked in to, there is no doubt that the right retirement plan could be organized. However special care is to be taken into account as a comparison of what you would earn or earned as against what you owe. A home based business could provide some sort of stability if not all. Getting a clear picture of what you would get on retirement as against what you would like to have and do after retirement is very essential.
The process of retirement planning aims to assess your readiness to live the second part of life in full as the first part, and to improve actions for the readiness to retire. Retirement planning also touches upon several other aspects of financial, medical and individual, needs of the person. Since planning is about the future, domains need to extend beyond current state description and address uncertainty, volatility and change of dynamics. A well planned retirement would provide total peace, happiness and stable life after retirement. This is mandatory for every individual.
