GOVERNMENT BENEFITS AND SYSTEM OF RETIREMENT PAYOUT
-
When we consider retirement we need to take into account government benefits: Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Old Age Security (OAS) and Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS).
-
Anyone who worked in Canada before age 60 and subsequently retired and who has contributed to CPP will be entitled to a lifetime income. When should you take your CPP?
-
To qualify for OAS - You must be living in Canada and be 65 or older, be a Canadian citizen or legal resident and have resided in Canada for at least 40 years after turning 18.
-
The government can help you with GIS if your income is very small. You are eligible for GIS for you qualify for OAS at 65 and have been living in Canada for more than 10 years.
-
There are two types of Retirement Planning: Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Which is better? For Investments, you can have annuities, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) for income.
RISK - THE TRUE FOUR LETTER WORD

-
Investment Risk - Investment losses due to volatility in the stock market
-
Inflation Risk - Lose purchasing power. Get higher stable returns elsewhere.
-
Liquidity Risk - Cannot sell when you want to. Accessing cash when we need it.
-
Longevity Risk - Outliving your money is a retirees worst nightmare
