Well said Ravi. At the end of the race, you are alone on the peak..

At that time you realize that for wining the rat race you left behind everything, near & dears, loved ones..

Now the question is what constitutes financial security. For anyone in the stock market financial assets of Rs 1 crore or thereabouts should constitute financial security. That is my view. This 1 crore does assume that you have a home and would have about a 1-2% dividend yield and would make up for the balance of your livinge xpenses from capital gains.

 

If one is invested in debt this figure gets enhanced also equity investors should have a basic feel of investing so that they do not blow off this Rs 1 crore!!!

 


Ageless quote! Probably our most significant learning in TED.

basant sir, here did you take into account the dependants mainly children's education/marriage or it excludes those?
moreover how do we calculate those future expences in present value? there are so many estimations by financial planners for the same, are they reliable?

Ultimately its a broad approximation. A more relevant number that i think of these days is 50 times the shortfall in annual expense. This will take care of everything.
