New Delhi, May 7 -- I asked ChatGPT to calculate the required corpus to move and live in Kodaikanal at 55 after retirement, with a Rs.15 lakh per annum salary and Rs.1 lakh monthly expenses at 35.

I am 35, earning Rs.15 lakh per annum and have monthly expense of Rs.1 lakh in Bangalore. Calculate in detail how much corpus I will need to retire and live in Kodaikanal at 55. Factor in the rent and medical expenses as well.

You are 35 now and want to retire at 55 in Kodaikanal - so you have a 20-year accumulation phase and likely a 30-35-year retirement horizon (till age 85-90).

I'll calculate this in a practical India-specific way, including living expenses, rent in Kodaikanal, medical inflation, post-retirement inflation, safe withdrawal...
