Age 50-59 years

For most people in their 50s, retirement is very close. By now you may have paid off all your liabilities (like a home loan) and may be free of most financial commitments. Your children may also be settled or may be on the verge of financial independence.

You want to ensure that you can afford a comfortable retirement and transfer your assets in a tax efficient way to your dependants. Many of you may use this opportunity to travel or for other recreational activities and self education.
