NEET Dropper: Should I Take Another Drop?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Did you contact anyone who lives near your partner? More than any other concerns, you should be worried why the calls and messages are not going through. Try contacting her or any family member or friend who knows about you. The situation does not add up given how regularly you both used to communicate. I hope she is safe and contacts you soon.

Best Wishes.

Ans: Your financial position is strong. You have built a solid corpus across multiple asset classes. Below is a detailed assessment of your readiness for early retirement.

Assessing Your Financial Position
Retirement is in 2029, meaning you have five more years of income and investments.

Your total corpus is well-diversified across PF, PPF, NPS, MFs, shares, FDs, and property.

You have a healthy investment habit with a Rs 60,000 monthly SIP and Rs 30,000 into NPS.

LIC maturity next year will provide Rs 14 lakh, adding to liquidity.

Gratuity of Rs 15 lakh will come at retirement, increasing your cash reserves.

Jewellery is additional wealth but is not an income-generating asset.

Financial Needs & Future Goals
1. Children’s Education – Rs 25 Lakh Needed in 4 Years
You need Rs 25 lakh over four years for education expenses.

Your FDs (Rs 36 lakh) can help cover this without disturbing your investments.

Consider a laddering approach for FDs to match the education payment timeline.

2. Regular Income Post-Retirement
Your NPS corpus (Rs 35 lakh) will generate a pension post-retirement.

EPF (Rs 45 lakh) and PPF (Rs 32 lakh) provide lump-sum retirement funds.

MFs & Shares (Rs 32 lakh) with Rs 60K SIP will continue to grow.

You have a strong base for passive income but need an income plan.

3. Healthcare & Emergency Fund
At 55 years, medical expenses will rise over time.

Ensure you have adequate health insurance for post-retirement years.

Keep at least Rs 15-20 lakh in liquid FDs or debt funds for emergencies.

Assessing Early Retirement Feasibility
1. Corpus Growth Over the Next 5 Years
Your existing investments + SIPs + NPS contributions will grow further.

With proper asset allocation, your corpus can cross Rs 5-6 crore in five years.

2. Inflation & Lifestyle Maintenance
Your current lifestyle expenses should be estimated.

Factor in inflation (6-7% per year) to assess long-term sustainability.

3. Investment Strategy for Stability
Shift some equity to balanced funds for stability closer to retirement.

Keep a mix of growth & conservative investments for steady returns.

Avoid full withdrawal of NPS—use a mix of systematic withdrawal & pension.

Final Insights
You have a strong corpus and are on track for retirement.

Continuing work for five more years will provide financial security.

Asset allocation adjustments will ensure income stability post-retirement.

Plan for rising medical costs & inflation for a stress-free retirement.
