Take a look at this example from our case study:
Steph was a 34 year old professional, newly based in Abu Dhabi. Her ambition was to retire at 55, and travel the world whilst she still had the health and energy to enjoy it.
We talked about her standard of living, and looked at property purchases and probable future income increases. From this we agreed that she would like an annual income of $80,000 in retirement, to maintain her current standard of living. Steph's existing State and Company Pensions would pay her $30,000 p.a., so we devised a strategy to cover the rest.
At a projected growth rate of 9%p.a. Steph would need to invest $1900 every month to achieve her goals. At that time, this was more than she could afford, so we created a strategy where Steph started at $1,000 per month, with a view to increasing the contribution in the future, as her salary increases. We worked out a plan where an increase in contribution levels by 5% p.a. will enable her to meet her target and retire early.
