| Having decided when you want to retire, you
should next look at how you’ll want to live.
Think of it as a permanent holiday, perhaps?
A rule of thumb might be to aim for an income of a half to
two-thirds of your current one – adjusted for inflation
and set to keep pace with it in retirement.
Consider what you’ll be doing. Will you be taking more
holidays or pursuing an expensive hobby? The chances are,
you’ll want to carry on living at the same standard
as you do now. |
