Abstract: Abstract Approximately 16% of the world's population lives in countries with some concept of a financial retirement plan. Of the remaining population, many do not have access to a Western-style retirement system, and the concept of Dharma subliminally influences them. Dharma, an Eastern philosophical system, recommends Sanyasa (renunciation), instead of comfortable retirement life, as a life goal. This paper proposes a new defined lifestyle retirement planning instrument, referred to as Holistic Annual Retirement Investment (HARI), a standardized, tradable, futures contract that can alter the way individuals think of and plan for their retirement according to their belief system. HARI is a hypothetical product based on the Eastern value system and needs improvement ideas from other researchers. So, the reader is urged to be imaginative and forgiving.
