Everyone knows how important retirement planning is. If you want money in old age without working, then it is necessary to take a pension plan for that. Everyone plans for retirement, but most people make some big mistakes during this time. Mistakes made during the job take a toll on your old age. Let us know today about 5 such mistakes, which people often make during retirement planning.
1- Becoming too dependent on EPF
Many youngsters think that they are saving through EPF, so they do not make any separate plans for their old age. Its interest rates are decided by the government and there are some better options available in the market like NPS. So do not depend too much on EPF and pay attention to other options as well.
2- Not transferring EPF while changing jobs
It is often seen that after changing jobs, people do not transfer their EPF money from the old company to the new company. Due to this, they have to suffer loss of interest. Therefore, after changing jobs, definitely transfer the EPF money of the old company to the new company.
3- Start saving late
After getting a job, initially most of the youth think that why should we save money for retirement now, we will save money later. Let us tell you that the sooner and the more you start investing, the more money you will get on retirement. If you want a fixed amount till retirement, then by starting investing early, you will have to invest less money every month and you will get more returns.
4- Retirement age should be considered as 60 years
Although officially the retirement age is 60 years, but in today's time people are working under a lot of pressure. In such a situation, it becomes difficult to keep working till 60 years. Therefore, if you start retirement planning immediately after getting a job, it is not necessary that you retire at the age of 60, you can retire even before that.
5- Ignoring inflation
Often people do not think while saving for retirement what will be the value of rupee 25-30 years from today. While planning for retirement, they ignore inflation and start investing money according to the current rates. In such a situation, the pension they get on retirement is very less, due to which their expenses are not met properly.
