Introduction

Security and comfort during retirement is a top priority for everyone. It forms the central aspect of a dream that everyone hopes to achieve and realise at some point or the other during his or her life as a senior citizen.

Mortality rates are crumbling, people are living longer and therefore more money is needed to fund a longer retirement period. People also prefer to retire early, which subsequently adds to the cost of retirement.

The problem with planning for retirement is a complex issue that absolute dedication towards the goal is a primary requirement.

The main obstacles that prevent people from planning for their retirement are:

• Few people possess the self-discipline to save sufficient amounts of money during their productive earning years and they never accumulate a fund vast enough that it provides them with subsequently steady income during their retirement.
  
  
• Investment and Re-investing their funds putting them to work – yet at the same time yielding a sufficient rate of interest still poses a formidable challenge for most people.
  
  
• Hardly any people can cope up with the task of using their accumulated funds in the most advantageous manner possible while being able to provide constant liquidity that cannot be outlived

Different people perceive retirement in different manners since everyone possesses their own unique outlook. Some people look forward to retirement with great anticipation. Others even dread the thought.

The difference in this attitudinal perception is the preparation made for retirement before actually achieving that golden age. Sadly, not many people give much thought to the amount of money that they will need. After all, human nature tends to show escapist tendencies when difficult issues need to be resolved. People do require a fair amount of discipline to make some sacrifices financially.
