Maheshwari calculates that a person needs to invest Rs 1.5 lakh per month to achieve this financial goal. If the annual interest rate the individual gets per year remains in the range of 12-14 per cent, she can achieve this goal.
Another way of doing this is to start with Rs 70,000 per month and step up the investment by 10 per cent.
Where to put the money?
Maheshwari says: "30–38: 60% Equity | 20% Debt | 20% Gold/REITs;39–42: Rebalance gradually to Hybrid/Debt (~40–50%)".
He said one can withdraw Rs 1.5 lakh per month after reaching his financial goal.
"Switch to Multi-Asset + Hybrid + SWP → Withdraw ₹1.5L/month (inflation-adjusted) while corpus continues to grow," he said.
He also said that one must avoid debt traps.
