Sir i am 40 years old, wanted to retire early by 45 or 47. 1-daughter age 7. Invested 27 lac in MF, 30 lac in sbi life privilege plan ulip linked, 45 lac in EPF, 32 lac in PPF, 3 plots total worth 45 lac. Let me know how much should i need to retire in another 5 years. My monthly expenses is around 60 to 75k

Ans: To determine how much you need to retire in another 5 years, we'll need to assess your current investments and estimate your future expenses. Here's a rough breakdown:

Current Investments:
Mutual Funds: 27 lac
SBI Life Privilege Plan ULIP: 30 lac
EPF: 45 lac
PPF: 32 lac
Plots: 45 lac
Future Expenses:
Monthly Expenses: 60,000 to 75,000 INR
Retirement Planning:
Estimate your annual expenses in retirement by multiplying your monthly expenses by 12. Let's assume it's 9 lakhs to 11.25 lakhs per year.
Multiply your annual expenses by the number of years you expect to live in retirement. Since you plan to retire at 45 or 47 and may live until 80 or beyond, let's assume you'll need retirement income for 35 to 40 years.
Factor in inflation to adjust for the increasing cost of living over time. A conservative estimate of inflation is 5% per year.
Given these assumptions, you can use a retirement calculator or consult with a financial advisor to determine the lump sum amount you'll need to retire comfortably. They can help you assess your current investments, estimate future expenses, account for inflation, and identify any gaps in your retirement plan. Adjustments may be needed based on your risk tolerance, investment returns, and other factors unique to your situation.
