Are you considering retiring in the next 36 months, perhaps in 2024, 2025, or 2026? If so, it’s crucial to make sure you’re on the right financial path.
Facing Key Challenges in Retirement Planning
As you start this journey, you’ll come across essential questions:
- Do we have enough saved?
- How much can we spend each year without running out of money?
- How do we get money from our investments into our bank account every month?
- What’s the best way to use and invest our money?
- What is the best way to take out money from our savings?
- How can we pay less in taxes?
- When should we start the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security?
- How can we effectively pass our money and assets on to the next generation?
These are big questions that need careful answers. Retirement is a significant life event, and careful planning is crucial.
