Is Digital Marketing best career options for youngsters ?

Ans: It depends on individuals. I would not put a macro comment that Digital Marketing is the best career option -- but if you are in the domain of marketing / sales / creative -- digital marketing offers tremendous scope. Digital ecosystem is evolving and growing very rapidly. And therefore marketeers are looking at having a digital experience to be able to climb up in their career. Digital marketing requires one to be good at numbers, analytics, creative thoughts and understanding of consumer. If you are starting off your career and want to build somethin gin the marketing / sales domain - I would recommend trying out digital marketing in the early part of your career.

Can I retire at age of 50 years? My savings are cash in Bank around Rs 2 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Physical Gold about 3 Kg (Purchase price 1.8 Cr), Have Ornament Gold about 2.3 Kg (Purchase price 1.2 Cr), Have Unlisted NSE stock worth 1 Cr, Have Pre IPO Opportunities Fund worth Rs 80 Lakhs, Have two apartments worth 3 Cr and 1.5 Cr with combined rental of Rs 1Lakh per month, Have residential plot worth 1.5 Cr, Have one house abroad worth 6 Cr and rental 2 Lakhs per month, Have cash in Offshore Bank in dollars i.e. worth Rs 12 Cr with nominal FD returns, Have Insurance schemes worth Rs 20 Lakhs and Lastly have a house worth Rs 18 Cr in which we currently reside. Our Expenses : We have no Loans/Debts, Our Average Monthly Expenses are Rs 8 Lakhs, Health Insurance Rs 1.5 Lakhs per annum, Total College Education abroad for 2 kids for next 6 years estimated to be Rs 6 CR on an average 1CR per year, Old Aged Parents Expenses Rs 2 Lakhs per month.
Ans: Hello;

Just summarizing your assets available for generating retirement income:

1. Domestic FD: 2 Cr
2. Gold(3 Kg) valued at~:2.64 Cr
3. Jewellery valued at~:2 Cr
4. Flat1: 3 Cr
5. Flat2: 1.5 Cr
6. Land: 1.5 Cr
7. Overseas House: 6 Cr
8. Overseas FD: 12 Cr
9. Self occupied property: 18 Cr
10. Stock & AIF: 1.8 Cr
Total: 50.44 Cr
(Gold price considered: 88 K per 10 gm)
However we can subtract assets at serial no. 3, 7 and 9 from this and we get a corpus of 24.44 Cr. The 44 L may be kept aside for transaction costs, taxes etc.

It is advisable that you sell the flats in India offering low rental yield and also physical gold and the land property.

Now the corpus of 24 Cr may be split into two parts:
20 Cr may be invested in MFs for SWP at 5% yielding post tax income of around 7.3 L per month.

4 Cr may be used to buy immediate annuity from a life insurance company. Assuming 6% annuity rate you may expect a post tax monthly income of 1.4 L.

So your post tax monthly income may be:
7.3+1.4+2*=10.7 L as desired.
*Rental from overseas House

Since the kid's higher education is not finding place here I suggest you work for few more years, while putting this retirement income plan in place, for funding their higher education.

Best wishes;
