the question that I ask everybody…and almost nobody has an answer…

‘what if you lived longer…longer than 65 or 70 or 88 or 92?

well Vipin Khandelwal has also asked this question and his answer is here. Yes it is a little different from what I would have said…but it is in line with the calculators and the articles that you read….

What if you lived longer?

  1. I would simplify it a bit. Life expectancy is not in our control, hence do you really need to know the timeline and numbers? Focus on the goals where you know the amount required and timelines. The rest should go fully towards your retirement life, contribute and continue to do so as lonnnnng as you can.

  2. @Subra,

    The “living longer” has become a much greater risk compared to “early death” in developed countries. I think this awareness will strike Indians too very soon.
