Three of our best Insights for May

Our Monthly 3-2-1- Newsletter 

RESOURCE: What are the Retirement Income Investment Options

As you transition from your working years to retirement or optional work years, creating a cash flow stream from your investments is critical to retirement planning. 

There are five main retirement investment options to consider when developing a prudent plan for retirement cash flow: Income Only Investing, Income Focused Investing, Guaranteed Income Products, Total Return Investments, and a combination of these.

Note: the budget proposes increasing the capital gains inclusion rate from 50% to 66.67% for annual gains over $250,000.

RESOURCE: Chapter 5: Protecting Your Family

The following weekend, Sandra and I woke up early on Saturday. The water was still, and the sun was just beginning to burn off the morning haze.

We decided to slip down to the water for a quick swim before the kids woke up. When we reached the dock, we saw Mark and Aunt Lorraine preparing for their Saturday morning ritual dip.

Mark yelled over, “I hope you’re hungry because I’m cooking this morning.”

“I hope you can cook better than you golf!” Sandra shouted back. 

RESOURCE: Planning your Wills and Powers of Attorney

A common question we receive is what we should consider when planning our wills and powers of attorney.
