This includes your monthly living expenses as well as other leisure or medical expenses. You should then adjust this for your retired years. Your expenditure may reduce to 75% of what it is now. Once you understand how much these things cost you today, you can use an approximate rate of inflation and your life expectancy to understand the amount you will need to live a comfortable and hassle-free retired life.
