FINANCIAL PLANNING AND LIFE CYCLE STRATEGIESThe amount of money to be invested in various assets depends on:

Your goals and needs – to buy a house, travel or retirement needs, education, children etc.

Your age at the time of investment – this will decide how much risk you can take. For instance, if you are young, you can invest in relatively riskier investments

Your income at the time of investment – if you earn more, you will have more money to invest. The level of wealth will also influence the types investments you can hold

FINANCIAL PLANNING AND LIFE CYCLE STRATEGIES…cont Your occupation – if your job provides retirement plans,

you may not want to have a separate retirement plan

Time horizon – when do you want to sell your assets?

Liquidity – how fast can you convert your assets into cash?

Tolerance for risk – how much risk are you willing to take?

RETIREMENT PLANNING

How much income should you plan on needing when you retire? A financial planning rule of thumb is to figure on needing 70% to 80% of your pre-retirement income. That income is the income you'll be earning at the time you retire, not the amount you're earning now.
