Best age to retire is what first comes to one’s mind when talking about the best time to retire. So let’s get our facts straight. In India, the minimal retirement age for retirement has increased from 60 to 62 years by 2018. As the life expectancy of Indians increased 10 to 20 years in just a decade, it’s reasonable that the minimum retirement age has increased too.

Now, let’s go back to our initial question “what is the best and the right time to retire?”

The right time, in fact, depends on your financial & health conditions. And most importantly planning for your retirement is crucial when it comes to determining when to retire. Because at the end of the day, the reality is that whether you can afford to retire or not. Here are 5 key benefits that determines the best time to retire:

1. Check Your Bank Balance –

Like we said already, retirement isn’t free of cost. Everything in this world has a price and retirement being one of the best phases of your life, will cost you more than you thought it would.

If you want a carefree and fuss-free life then choosing a right retirement home should be your goal. Save up until it’s enough for this lifestyle, that is likened to a life-long vacation.

2. Find Your Purpose –

Retirement is almost like starting the story anew. You have access to unlimited amount of free-time which means endless possibilities of whatever you want to do. But think of the right questions – Where Do You Want To Do It? With Whom Do You Want To Do It? Find the answers within yourself. Talk to your partner and children. Because if the only reason that you are retiring is to get out of a job, don’t do it. One job is not worth an unplanned retirement life. So wait until you have meaning pursuits that interest you and drives you towards taking that much needed break.
