5 COMMON RETIREMENT PLANNING MISTAKES

  1. Not reviewing your financial plans regularly to adjust for your changing needs

  2. Underestimating your expenses when planning for retirement

  3. Not accounting for unexpected events e.g. poor health

  4. Not diversifying your portfolio

  5. Starting too late – not maximising compounding interest

Many of us think that saving for our retirement can wait till we are older – When we have a greater earning capacity, hence making savings an easier task. We may also be caught up with our immediate desires (travel, car, house etc.) or commitment to provide for both our parents and children.

There is never a “good” time to start planning for retirement. But there are advantages to start now. By starting today, it gives you the longest time horizon possible to grow your savings. You will also have the advantage of compounding interest. In addition, having a long term horizon will also help to ride out short-term price fluctuations.

A shorter time horizon will mean setting aside more money per month to accumulate the same desired amount. Investment opportunities may be fewer as you may have to be selective on the risk profile of your investments. There is a possibility that retirement may be delayed, adding on the stressor of remaining employable.
