You may start with your investments. However, have a target corpus. This will help you to achieve your retirement corpus without fail. For example, if you need Rs 6 lakh per year (Rs 50,000 per month) to meet your living expenses. Assuming an annual inflation rate of 6%, you need Rs 1.60 lakh per month / Rs 1.92 crore per year to maintain the same lifestyle after 20 years. Assuming you have to live another 20 years after retirement, you need a corpus of Rs 38.49 crore (Rs 1.92 crore x 20 years).
Start with whatever you can invest right way and increase your investments every year at least in line with your salary hike. This will help you to achieve your long-term goals.
