Retirement Planning Principles

→ The 4% SWR rule: withdraw 4% of corpus in Year 1, then adjust for inflation each year. Historically survives 30yr retirements.

→ Inflation is the biggest risk — ₹60K/month today becomes ₹₹3.45 L/month at retirement at 6%.

→ Start as early as possible — starting at 25 vs 35 roughly doubles the corpus (power of compounding).

→ Don't count on EPF alone — it provides ~30–40% of retirement income. Supplement with NPS, ELSS, equity SIPs.

→ Health insurance corpus is separate from living expenses — plan for ₹50L–1Cr healthcare by retirement age.

Your corpus plan needs a term cover too.
