Freefincal’s Cost of Retirement Delay Tutorial available at SEBI Investor Education Portal

Published: July 28, 2023 at 6:00 am

As reported earlier, SEBI has included nine freefincal calculators created by M. Pattabiraman in its investor education website. Ms Monika Halan, the SEBI Investor Protection Education Fund Advisory Committee chairperson, suggested including these tools, and the committee inaugurated them on 22nd Nov 2022.

Tutorials for each tool will be made available in the coming weeks. The first tutorial for the cost of delay (in retirement planning) is now available.

These are screenshots of the tutorial and the tool.

The calculator helps to bring out this scary fact: postponing retirement planning is a sure-shot way to lose financial independence in your retirement. The amount needed to save each month would become so huge if postponed by just a few years that it would be impossible to match your expenses in retirement.

Inflation is a very important parameter in financial planning. However, postponement or inaction is the biggest enemy.

Both the boy and girl versions of "Chinchu Gets a Superpower".

Most investor problems stem from a lack of poor decision-making. We made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning, and we spent years undoing them. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, what if we had to groom one ability in our children that matters not only for money management and investing but for every aspect of life? My answer: Sound decision-making. So, in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. The story follows what he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan it, while also teaching him key ideas about decision-making and money management. What readers say!

Feedback from a young reader after reading Chinchu Gets a Superpower

Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from a young age. The importance of money management and decision-making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. - Arun.
