Retirement Income for Life: Getting More Without Saving More (Third Edition)

By Frederick Vettese

Book Overview

"Fred Vettese is the king of can-do retirement planning. Practical, clear advice from someone who knows what you're up against and has the answers." -- Rob Carrick, Globe and Mail

Canada's most trusted resource on retirement income is now updated for tumultuous times.

As the global economy faces uncertainty in the face of high inflation -- at levels not seen since the 1980s -- individuals in retirement or near to it are understandably anxious about their long term-prospects. Canadians need the tools to make better-informed choices to turn their retirement savings into retirement income for life.

This completely revised and updated third edition:
Explains how higher interest rates and higher inflation present both new opportunities and new challenges to retirees Illustrates how the expansion of the CPP (which started in 2019) will affect upcoming retirees Examines the impact of inflation on the deferral of CPP and OAS pensions Explores whether life annuities are still relevant and asks whether there are better products on the market Provides a revamped retirement calculator
Actuary Frederick Vettese demystifies a complex and often frightening subject and provides practical, actionable advice. With over one thousand Canadians turning 65 every day, the cultivation of good decumulation practices -- the way in which you draw down assets in retirement--has become an urgent matter that no one can afford to ignore.
