FINANCIAL PLANNING

Financial advisors, portfolio gurus, and even your well wishers will warn you about the importance of planning for your post-retirement life. In fact, creating a corpus or a passive income scheme is the most important aspect of financial planning today. However, that shouldn’t mean that you don’t get to enjoy the money you’re making today. Mint Money’s coverage of personal finance includes retirement planning, but also covers day-to-day expenses and pivotal events like buying a house, car, paying for education, weddings, childbirth, pets, and even death and wills. You might want to retire at 60, but there is a life to be lived till then.
