Do you have a retirement plan?
Working in the arena like IT, midst of the possible Lay-Offs and all that, I was thinking to start planning Retirement Plan, and I believe, everyone should start thinking about the same. I think, planning for retirement is a must. Till now, I was in a mood to enjoy my full salary without investing it in any plan. But now, I wish I should. In a book, I found few points about the same - basically suggestions on retirement planning.
1. Think about what standard of living you want; how much money you think you’ll need; and what sort of social life you wish to enjoy.
2. If travel is important to you, make sure your budget allows for this.
3. Sign up for a pre-retirement course.
4. Work out your finances/pensions/investments with your professional adviser.
5. Ask friends or former colleagues who have already retired for their best retirement suggestions. Source: Book - The Good Retirement Guide 2015, 29th Edition
Considering the last point, I would like your suggestions on this @my CE friends.

My grandfather used to tell me while I was still at school,'reduce your wants for a contented life'. I have been following that all the time.Koushal PatelAsk friends or former colleagues who have already retired for their best retirement suggestions.
As of now, I still work full time. Nudging 76, I do not have to worry much about planning for the limited balance time left. -

I am much worse. However, a young person should take out some life insurance and health insurance for the whole family. Healthcare costs are going up phenomenally. It is better to be ready. There are insurance plan for children's higher education.Koushal PatelI am very bad at the knowledge of these things. Please suggest!
Unless one has the time playing the stock market may not be an option. Various kinds of mutual funds are available. The low risk ones are more suited to older people. Higher risk growth funds may work for younger people giving better returns. There are many investment advisers across the country, who can help one to make a proper choice. -

Your statements are OK. Actually, the information from people who have planned it already are the best source of knowledge. Thought it would be better asking this question here than to hear from unknown advisers. After all, we are from same clan. 😉RetirementSiteThere are many sites that provide retirement information.
