You Need To Start Your Retirement Plan NOW
Close your eyes and picture being retired - What are you doing? How do you feel? I feel like there’s two options - either you’re relaxing, travelling, doing your favourite hobby and feeling peaceful and amazing, orrrrr you have no clue what to picture at all, because just hearing the word ‘retirement’ makes you feel a little sick to your stomach.
If you’re on the second side of things, you’re not alone. There was a survey done recently by CPP Investments and Innovative Research group that showed that most people don’t know how much money they need to retire, they don’t have a financial plan for retirement, and some people don’t even know if they’ll ever be in a position to plan for it.
In this video, we'll break down why you need a retirement plan, how to create one, and how the Canada Pension Plan and CPP Investments are a part of your plan already.

Thank you to CPP Investments for working with us to share how you can make a retirement plan! Check out this website for more: shorturl.at/gt056
I’m 30 and have more than 1x my salary saved. Something I’m very proud of and worked hard to accomplish. My 33 year old friend told me “You’re the only person I know who’s saving for retirement” and it just made me so sad.

Congratulations, that’s great to hear! Definitely not as great to hear that your friend said you’re the only person they know who’s saving for retirement - hopefully that changes! 🙏🏿🙏🏻

Try to teach everybody around you. Seriously. We don't learn how to manage money when we are in school. So people have different perceptions of what is good and bad.
Thank you ❤

hey guys, i really love your videos, especially as a Canadian. i'm in my mid 20s and your videos are my go-to especially since my parent is usually in control of my financials. been looking into ETFs/indexes as my parent puts my TFSA into Mutuals for that past 5 years. now looking into opening a FHSA as well. i'm hoping maybe you guys could do a video with how to break free from under your parents wing or something like that. cheers!
love how informative but easily digestible your videos are!

Thank you! 😊
This was super helpful (as usual)! I'm a good saver but always felt intimated by retirement saving, especially when figuring out how much I may need and should save for. I'll take this info to start planning for retirement asap :)

This was great! Are you also able to share plans, accounts and how to do so outside of Canada? It’s so tricky due to the options and planning. I reside in FL and this would be awesome!
Hi Steph&Den, what camera / gimbal do you use for your travel B-Roll? It’s so smooth and stabilized! Thanks :)

Thank you! We use a Sony A6400 camera with a Sigma 16mm lens, and usually an ND filter when we're outside! No gimbal, it's all hand held 😊

Majority of my retirement income is in the RDSP not much coming from CPP-D or OAS / GIS I suspect that income would be less than ODSP which is $1,500 a month. I need to make sure my TFSA is on the path of being maxed out I hear 2024 it will be $7,000 which brings my TFSA room to about $90,000 Financial Literacy is always targeted towards able body people so people with a disability are left out to fend for themselves. The government won't budget the new Canadian disability benefit and Doug Ford is planning on clawing back ODSP the minute they budget the Canadian disability benefit it. I would kill to only worry about maxing out my TFSA and RRSP, that's not my life.

Thank you for bringing up this point! Very true. We're happy to hear that you're on the path towards maxing out your TFSA! 👏🏿👏🏻
Great topic! But key thing i found missing was the inflation. The rate of return on investment should be > inflation to help bridge that $1 million target.

First! Also are you planning on joining the Blossom App?
Lets say I saved $1000, and then I used $100 from my investment ($1000). If $1000 invested for 10%, than what I have is 1000 x10% = 1100 -100 (I used) = $1000. And so on. Why do you need $1 million I don't understand? Lets say you have $420000 invested. Money grows 10%, then you have 10% withdrawal. It is still $420000. Not a $1 million.

because 10% isn't the guaranteed return every single year. That's the average annualized return over several years. Some years your return will be -20% (like it was in 2022) so if you were to withdraw 10% in those years, your portfolio will be drawn down significantly faster. Look into the "safe withdrawal rate", usually it's recommended to be around 4%, hence why $1 million would get you around $40,000/year
If alberta pull out of CPP, the rest of canda is screwed.
I'm not worried about retirement. I live for the day. I am a very philosophical person. I think I would rather invest in a business now, that way when I'm older it will pay for my retirement. I guess CPP is like Social Security and I pay into it, but I don't depend on it now. I'm glad you guys got sponsored by the government. Congratulations 🎊
