Saving More Is Essential

Saving is good, but for retiring rich, saving more is essential. Ideally, it is advised that save 15% of your monthly salary for retirement, but for retiring rich, it is advised save 20% of your monthly paycheque towards retirement. Saving in this way ensures that the individual has surplus money to go around during retirement.

Make Saving Easy

People say “kar lenge saving, bahut assan hai” but it is not that easy as it is said. Saving money also requires planning and strategy. The best strategy to save money is to set an auto-debit from one’s salary account into a separate savings account. Simply keep two separate bank accounts, one for your expenses (salary account) and one for your investments (a funding account). When you receive a salary, transfer your investment part to your funding account, which is meant only for investment. This strategy helps classifying money easily. This also restricts the individual from taking money out of funding account for some unessential want. Well, this would not happen if all the money was lying in the salary account.

Start A SIP

Well, you have kept your investment part separate in the investment focused bank account, its time to start investing this part regularly in Equity mutual fund through SIP, for a long-term. Investing in Equity mutual funds via SIP for the long-term will help you create a large corpus that will let you retire rich.

Investing through SIP for long-term helps the investors in three ways:

  • Helps to build financial discipline
  • Assists to average the unit purchase cost and collect more mutual fund units with inflation-beating returns.
  • Helps leverage the power of compounding over the long-term.


Right Number of Equity Mutual Funds

Ideally one needs to invest in four schemes particularly in the large-cap and multi-cap segments, for retiring rich. Large-cap funds invest in big companies with large market capitalization; thus, it is a bit low riskier than its counterparts and offers around 10-12% returns. On the other hand, Multi-cap schemes have a bit higher risk and exposure to market ups and downs but can also be rewarding. They have the potential to earn returns that may be higher than large-cap funds. People often go over-diversifying their portfolio, which ultimately forces them to stop investments in contingencies because of easy accessibility.

So basically, while constructing your retirement portfolio, keep in mind, not to over-diversify it, instead of diversifying it with the right number of large-cap schemes along with multi-cap schemes. Construct a portfolio for your short and mid-term goals, via debt funds and hybrid funds. This will ensure that your retirement corpus is not disturbed for short-term requirements, till your retirement.
