How Much Do You Need To Retire In Canada? It Might Be Less Than You Think

Fee for service planning from Parallel Wealth: www.parallelwealth.com/planning
One of the most important questions you can ask yourself...how much do I need to retire? There are obviously a lot of factors that go into this question: your age at retirement, your lifestyle, your pension, your OAS amount, and of course a lot more.
While the question is important, it can often leave Canadians stressed which is exactly the opposite what you want in retirement! This is where a financial plan can be extremely important. Everyone's situation is a bit different, so a plan designed for your situation will alleviate any stresses that you may have...plus, you may find that the savings number in your mind may be far higher than what it actually needs to be.

    I was stressed the first 2 years of retirement , started reducing my stress by volunteering locally after 6 months . Found out how fortunate I was . Learned to spurn debt early in life ( sometimes debt is useful to improve equity , purchase a home , transportation to improve employment ). Been retired over 10 years , took advice from real people that had been retired for a while and managed their own affairs . I enjoy the quiet life , travel at every opportunity . Spend less than you make , make a habit of saving , and enjoy yourself frugally between splurges .

    Retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k. My mom retired with about 4.2 million, but my dad retired with roughly 1.8 million.

    This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

Of all of our friends and family we are the only ones - honestly, because we asked - who know what they spend every month in each category, who re-balance or take a good look at their portfolio twice a year, who can explain how inflation affects their retirement, and who have a decent idea of what taxes they have already paid and what more they will have to pay. Having someone who is able to explain retirement funding, specifically for Canadians, is so necessary. We have subscribed.

    Thank you for making this video. I'm one of the people who has a questionable savings plan for retirement. I am 41 years old though, so I still have time. This video is definitely reassuring and gives me some direction, along with the other videos you have made on TFSA's.. While it is a scary thought, not knowing if you'll have enough money in retirement, I also feel that people underestimate their own resourcefulness, grit, critical thinking. Of course, you don't want to be working in your retirement years, but if you take into account other current events like the debt and deficits of governments, I think we can all feel a little better knowing that we aren't exactly "alone"..

    You can plan your life so you live very cheaply. Ride a bike if you can. Cook all your meals - eat a lot of beans as they are extremely healthy and very cheap and filling - oatmeal and barley is not bad either - clothing can be all bought at garage sales or hand me downs from friends, and thrift shops. Furniture is free as people leave castaways on the street and you can get all second hand. Entertainment is the internet and Netflix and books that are free. You can draw pictures of things you like. Meditate. It is fun to live cheap and not have to work. Too bad though if you have an expensive hobby like horse back riding or collecting cars.

Once you have a full financial plan, your worries evaporate. Call this guy and get one done before you retire. It will make the retirement decision easy if you have been preparing. Or it will scare you to death and shock you into taking your future seriously.

    That same money can be in RRSP(100% taxable), non register accounts(50% capital gain tax) - if it’s in corporate account(return of capital. Defer tax payable until initial capital depleted), TFSA (0% tax payable), permanent life insurance (policy loan @12%, it may very from company to company or collateral loan from bank). Details on that how it works is outside of the scope for this thread. Therefore, for example, when you see $100k in your account. You will not get $100k, unless it’s in TFSA. Note: Inflation have no boundary.

The important thing is when you have had enough with work, just retire, stop worrying live the time you have left.

    Would you ever consider touching on the topic of retiring with debt? There are a lot of people in that situation. I know people in their 60s who still have a mortgage. At 55 my personal situation is I'm mortgage free since 2012 and I have just over $300K in RSPs. I have no financial plan for retirement. And I have not talked to anyone about it. At the same time I still don't think I have enough in my RSP to retire comfortably. With all levels of government constantly coming after us for more taxes I think it's getting harder and harder for people to meet their retirement goals.

    Just to simplify, on a 3% ROI you can withdraw about 5% for 25 years? On a 5% ROI you can with draw about 7% for 25 years? Is that a correct assumption? Curious what are the statistics of living beyond 90 years and what is the cost of living after that. Aside from that I think the 4% rule is a great goal for people planning for their retirement early in life or financial independence. It's an early lesson about the potential of wealth saved and invested early. For people that are approaching retirement it is more important to plan for what you will have rather than what you wish you had. Looking at your retirement as a draw down to 0 is much more feasible and is commonly practiced for the people who could not build a large nest egg.

    most people that doesn't have any retirement savings don't save because they don't have any spare income to put away. cost of living is high in this country and wages are low. the examples given show employment income like 80k, 160k... but most people are working with income more like 50k.

    So does it make sense to hold off on CPP and/or OAS to max out (perhaps) at the No Go Phase? Doesn't make sense to me; but every case depends on individual circumstances. I took early retirement at 62 after 42 years of service because I no longer enjoyed going to my job every day (politically correct description). Zippo retirement savings, major credit card debt and 5 years left on mortgage. The plan was to seek part-time employment to help pay off debt. Well the reality was, took early reduced CPP at just over $700 per month (would have received maximum if waited until 70), commenced Defined Benefit Pensions (x2), one included option of OAS equivalent until 65 when actual OAS kicks in and it ceases and could not find a part time job (have had to pay taxes since retiring). Lived on a strict budget and spent wisely also had some rental income. Instead of working a part time job, worked on getting as healthy as possible (losing weight) taking personal responsibility for keeping as healthy as possible. By the time I am 65, I will be mortgage free, debt free, stress free, prescription free, healthy (from what i can control) and free to travel if so desired, with guaranteed pensions that increase yearly with inflation and paid until death. If my spouse outlives me, they will continue to receive 100% of my private pensions, until their death. I can't complain.

    73% are worried about outliving their savings. Yup. I understand my plan and am quite conservative but inflation could still be a killer. 2.2m invested but 60 years left of retirement. So far the account grows more than I use but the worry about a multi year market correction is real. Currently a 5-year GIC ladder is the insurance against a large drawn out correction.

    Hi Adam...have been appreciating your videos...very helpful and informative. I've looked at the 4% rule but doesn't account for principal reduction over time, and wondering if it's reasonable to utilize a simple amortization calculator to project income...just the same as you would for a mortgage but instead of payment out, it's payment in. For example, if I have $1M today invested at 5% with a 35 year amortization period (to age 90) I see a gross payment of $5046 monthly. Is this a reasonable approach for estimation?

    When you are retired you should have no mortgage (mine is $30k/year) and you also won't be saving for retirement anymore (max saving for RRSP and TFSA is $33k/year that you'll no longer be "spending"). You'll also have way more time to shop around for bargains, etc. You will need way less than 60% - 70% of your current income.

No more savings for retirement, take those 2 factors out, then CPP, Old Age + some extra income (from your savings/investments buckets) is good enough to enjoy your basic retirement life. If you have more $$ then you can think of traveling, domestically or internationally, depending on your financial situation … Speaking from someone who used to worry so much before and now been happily retired for 3 years … LOL
