Planning Early Retirement: Financial Strategies and Corpus Requirements Explained
Early retirement appeals to many but requires careful financial planning. Experts advise estimating future expenses, accounting for inflation, healthcare costs, and market risks to determine the retirement corpus needed. For example, retiring at 45 may require investing substantial monthly amounts to build a corpus that lasts decades. The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) strategy encourages high savings and investment to achieve this goal, with variations like Fat FIRE, Lean FIRE, and Barista FIRE tailored to different lifestyles and income levels.
