For big discretionary purchases, reflect on how it will make you feel in 10 days, 10 weeks and 10 years. Perspective can calm buying urges for purchases you later regret.
10. The 4% Rule
The 4% rule is a common rule used in retirement planning to help you avoid running out of money. It states that you can (without any hassle) withdraw 4% of your savings in your first year of retirement and alter that amount for inflation for every subsequent year without risking running out of money for the next, at least 30 years.

For example- Your annual expense is 500,000, then the corpus required to retire is 1.25 cr. If we put 50% into fixed income & 50% into equity and withdraw 4% every year, it would be Rs.5 lakh. This rule works for 96% of the time in a 30 year period.
