BBC World Service - WorklifeIndia, How to plan for your retirement

What mindset should you have as you plan for your retirement?

For many, a retirement plan is something that usually ranks far down the list of more urgent priorities - but the expectations we have for our later years may not completely match up with reality. For example, would you have a fixed income that matches the pace of inflation when you retire? 

Recent studies have pointed out that most people are not aware of how much they really need to save for their silver years. Nearly 80% of urban Indians are not ready for retirement, according to one such study.

So, what should you be doing to achieve that dream life after retirement? And what if you want to retire early and pursue an alternative career? 

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss the skills, the saving plans, and the mindset you should have as you plan for your retirement.
