Understanding the difference between a growth asset and an income asset
Retirement planning can be compared to farming. As an example, let us take a citrus farmer with orange orchards.
The farmer must first have sufficient land (capital), where he needs to maintain a careful balance between young (growth) and mature (income) trees. He needs to maintain a careful balance between young and mature trees. While the young trees must be nurtured to produce fruit in years to come; the mature trees produce fruit which generates cash to sustain the farm. If the farmer gets the balance wrong he will be in trouble. Investing for retirement is no different. A balance between the two asset classes is required to maintain a comfortable retirement.

Retirement planning is an ongoing process and takes years of hard work to bear fruit. Once a plan reaches fruition, you will be rewarded for many years to come. You can now sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labour.
