Why do you need to plan for retirement?
Investors India|April 2021
Can you imagine your future with the financial support from your family if you didn’t see the value in planning for retirement? It would then become your children’s responsibility to take care of you. In your retirement, you shouldn’t be dependent on anyone, let alone your own family.

Why do you need to plan for retirement?

Having a firm plan in place will make sure you don’t become a financial burden on those you love the most. I am sure you would like to be in a position to help out a family member in case of need for finances arise rather than being dependent on your family. The goal of retirement planning is to achieve financial independence, so that the person should not be compelled by circumstances to work after retirement.

People who are not able to accumulate adequate retirement corpus may have to postpone retirement or look for another job when retired from existing company.
