Planning to retire at 40? Here's what it really takes
For many working professionals, retiring at 60 feels like a finish line etched in stone. But in recent years, a new goal has quietly gained popularity, retiring at idea sounds almost rebellious. Stop working just when most people are hitting their career peak, and live the rest of your life on your own terms. No bosses, no Monday blues, no waiting for the behind this new aspiration, lies a tough question: Can you really afford to stop earning at 40 and still live comfortably for the rest of your life?IS IT POSSIBLE TO RETIRE AT 40?Abhishek Kumar, a Sebi-registered investment adviser and founder of SahajMoney, says it is possible but highly challenging. 'It depends a lot on how much of your income you save and how your investments grow over time,' he to him, someone who is 28 years old and aiming to retire by 40 would need to save around 79 times their current annual expenses, after adjusting for inflation. At age 40, that number may be around 35 Mota, Co-Founder and CEO of Finnovate, agrees. 'Yes, it is possible — but only with high discipline and intentional planning. The focus should not just be on earning more, but on saving more,' he says. He believes even those earning a middle-class salary can do it if they consistently save over 50% of their income and invest MUCH DO YOU NEED TO SAVE EVERY MONTH?Let's take the example of someone earning Rs 1 lakh per month. Abhishek Kumar explains that a 40-year-old with Rs 50,000 in monthly expenses would need to save Rs 18,080 per month just to retire by 60. 'But if the goal is to retire at 40, the monthly savings will need to be 60–70% of income or even more,' he Mota offers a similar view. 'If someone earning Rs 83,000 a month wants to retire by 40, they should save Rs 40,000 to Rs 45,000 each month and invest through SIPs in mutual funds targeting 10–12% annual returns,' he says. Over time, this could help build a corpus of Rs 2–3 crore by 40, which may generate a passive income of Rs 1–2 lakh per month depending on how the money is invested after IS FIRE AND IS IT RELEVANT FOR INDIANS?FIRE, or Financial Independence Retire Early, is a lifestyle movement that encourages people to save and invest aggressively with the goal of retiring decades earlier than usual. While it originated in the West, it is slowly catching on in India too.'FIRE is growing among India's urban professionals,' says Nehal Mota. 'It gives people freedom to travel, take sabbaticals, or work on their own terms, without financial pressure.'Abhishek Kumar, however, warns that the popular 4% withdrawal rule used in FIRE planning may not work as well in India. 'That rule is based on returns in developed markets like the US. In India, we should follow a more cautious withdrawal rate of 3.5% or even less due to higher inflation and market volatility,' he MISTAKES AND RISKS OF EARLY RETIREMENTOne of the biggest mistakes people make is underestimating how much money they'll need. 'Many believe they can retire with a small corpus that gives them Rs 1 lakh per month. But their savings rate is just 1–5% of income — that's not going to work,' says Abhishek Mota highlights a few more risks: 'People ignore the rising cost of healthcare, overestimate how much passive income they can generate, and assume they won't need to work again — but many do. Lifestyle creep is also a real problem. As people earn more, they spend more, and this delays savings goals.'HOW TO DEAL WITH HEALTHCARE, INFLATION AND EMERGENCIESBoth experts agree that managing health and emergencies is critical.'Start early with health insurance, maintain a proper emergency fund, and save enough to handle inflation through the years,' says Abhishek Kumar. 'Early retirees face a longer retirement period, so the risk of market downturns is higher.'Nehal Mota adds, 'Keep a separate healthcare fund, buy a lifelong insurance policy, and make sure your investments offer inflation-adjusted returns. Post-retirement, choose a more balanced asset allocation that offers stability and growth.'advertisementRetiring by 40 is not easy but can be done with commitment, smart investing, and careful planning. The biggest challenge is not income but behaviour – saving enough, staying invested, and being realistic about expenses and risks.(Disclaimer: The views, opinions, recommendations, and suggestions expressed by experts/brokerages in this article are their own and do not reflect the views of the India Today Group.

India-UK FTA clears path for Indian talent in UK: Piyush Goyal
NEW DELHI: The recently concluded free trade agreement (FTA) between India and the United Kingdom would facilitate smooth mobility of skilled professionals across sectors, Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal said at the India Global Forum (IGF) 2025 in London. The minister reaffirmed India's commitment to transitioning the FTA from a negotiated text into a transformative economic partnership while delivering the keynote address at the India Global Forum's (IGF) plenary session — From Agreement to Action: The UK-India FTA, a commerce ministry statement said on Thursday. There he was joined in conversation by UK secretary of state for business and trade Jonathan Reynolds with moderation by journalist Mark Barton, the statement added. India and the UK successfully concluded FTA negotiations on May 6 where business mobility was one of the key demands of New Delhi. The deal is currently undergoing legal scrubbing before being formally passed by the respective authorities of the two countries. Summarising key benefits of the deal on the following day, global consultancy firm EY said that it would ease mobility for professionals, including contractual service suppliers, business visitors, investors, intra-corporate transferees, and independent professionals like yoga instructors, musicians, and chefs, offering greater global mobility for aspirational young Indians. Goyal described the FTA as a reflection of shared ambition between two vibrant democracies. He stated that the agreement not only enhances bilateral trade, but also demonstrates India's ability to negotiate balanced and future-oriented trade frameworks aligned with its national interests, the statement said. The minister is on a high-level visit to the UK from June 18 to 19. Outlining the next phase of implementation, he highlighted key priorities such as strengthening institutional mechanisms for joint governance, unlocking early benefits for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups, and facilitating smooth mobility of skilled professionals across sectors, it added. The minister also participated in a special session on 'UK–India Science, Technology and Innovation Collaboration' at the Science Museum in London on Thursday. The session explored opportunities for UK stakeholders to contribute to India's expanding investments in digital public infrastructure, sustainable manufacturing, and green technologies. Discussions also covered efforts to make India a global manufacturing hub through Make in India, production-linked incentive schemes, and enhancing collaboration in sectors such as fintech, artificial intelligence, and creative industries, it said. 'Trade deals with competitors silly' Goyal said that 15 years ago, before his party's government came to power, India was 'more focused on doing trade agreements with countries that are our competitors'. 'It really is silly, because (that is) opening up my market to my competitors, many of whom have now become the B team of China. So effectively and indirectly, I have opened up my market for goods that find their way from China into India'.

‘Indians weren't respected': Aman Gupta on Goa in the 2000s vs today
Aman Gupta, the millionaire co-founder of boAt Lifestyle, spoke about Goa's changing party scenes in a recent podcast. The 43-year-old entrepreneur remembered the time he and his friends partied in the forests of Goa with foreigners. Gupta revealed that there were hardly any Indians at these parties, and certain parts of Goa welcomed only foreigners. This, he said, is in stark contrast with the situation today, as Indian tourists are welcomed happily in Goa. Aman Gupta remembered the early 2000s, when he and his friends would visit Goa and party in the forests of the state. At that time, Anjuna beach was populated by Israeli tourists. 'At Anjuna beach, only Israelis were given a place. I remember, this was a Goa where Indians did not get a place to stay as Israelis used to lead that place. All these Goan people actually did not respect Indians that much,' Gupta remembered. He contrasted that with the situation today, where Indian tourists are welcomed warmly by Goans. 'If you see today, Indians can pay more than anybody else. So India has evolved and Indian tourists are also welcomed now.' Before he became the millionaire co-founder of boAt, Aman Gupta was a regular youngster who liked to party in Goa with his friends. He recalled on The Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast that there used to be forest parties in Goa that were frequented mostly by foreigners. 'These parties, they were such parties that we didn't know the venue. We would take our scooter and ask our foreigner friends, 'Aaj party kahan hai? (Where is the party tonight?).'' 'In 2000, Bamboo Forest was very popular in Goa,' Gupta recalled. 'This time, when we used to go to Goa, there were no Indians. We were the only Indians there [at Bamboo forest parties],' said the co-founder of boAt.
