For 21-year-old Delhibased Abhinav Verma, financial freedom is all about managing money on his own. Having just started his career, he has the foresight that many don’t possess even in the later stages of their careers. “I believe one should make wise investments so that the money you have saved grows adequately to financially empower you in your retirement,” he says. The concept of financial freedom has remained the same over the years—to have money to live comfortably or take a dream vacation. Of course the usual list of buying a home, paying for children’s education and marriage have always been there, but what is fast being added to this list is planning for retirement.
