BQPortfolio: Will Getting Married Change Damien Andrade’s Retirement Planning Math?
What happens to your retirement planning if you get married and decide to have children...
BQPortfolio speaks to citizens from across India about their financial goals and helps them access expert advice on how to achieve them.
Most financial planning experts advise to start early when it comes to saving for retirement. But, many times, when you do start early, you have very little idea of what you will be spending when you retire.
The simplest projection for post-retirement spending takes your current monthly expenses and inflate it by a set percentage over the duration of your expected work life. Your retirement fund—the amount that you save over the course of your career— should be able to take care of this projected monthly expense for at least 20 years.
But what happens if you get married and decide to have children?
