Retirement Planning in Practice for the younger generation

Kiran Telang

May 12, 2020

Reading Time: 3 minutes Retirement is a definite destination in life- your client will retire, so will you. Our lifestyles, priorities, needs and income will all change. While for some, retirement is a dream destination, for others it can cause nightmares. The past two months in quarantine have showed some of us a glimpse of how retired life could look. Not just in terms of lifestyle but also the possibility of low or no income.
“You should start investing for your retirement from your first paycheck” is what we are up-skilled to tell our clients. This is a good stage to connect with younger clients and shift the conversation gears towards retirement. Get them to plan about something which is practically decades away. “How?”, you may ask.

Today, Ms. Kiran Telang shares with us a few thoughts on approaching retirement planning for the younger demographic and guides us through having some of these conversations. Whether they wish to spend their retirement in forced “quarantine” or have enough resources to live freely..the answers will be clearer to them.
