I just came across this video, and at first I was a bit hesitant to watch it, but I'm glad I did. Two things stand out, the first is that it's a Canadian perspective, which isn't common. The second is that after seeing literally hundreds of these videos, this is the first one where I saw someone actually do real financial scenarios rather than just repeat the same bunch of worn out rules of thumb such as the 4% rule. I'm also really happy to see a spreadsheet that takes so many factors into account such as actual life expectancy, changes of spending, CPP and OAS. Again, most 'gurus' you see on KZfaq do nothing more than repeat the same old worn rules of thumb, so this is refreshing.

If you own home expenses probably $1000 month , car $500 to operate, groceries $400, insurances $400 , dental care and medical with out major issues $100, clothing $100 that's $2500 month on the conservative side for basis. $30000 per year . If you are renting in a major city your home expenses would be easy $2000. So you now need $3500 a month , and the income is based on cpp at 70. Well if your single good luck. Now take transit cut down on insurance cost, groceries, and your in the same boat without a house for expenses to be covered later in life, and an uncomfortable living now without convenience. If you have a spouse it's easier but not in the long term.

They aren't realistic, they are 100% theoretical based on assumptions that can be off dramatically in reality. Change the inflation rate, rate of return or tax rate and you will see just how widely the results can vary. Change the pre-tax source of investment return and the results will swing ie. Capital gains vs dividends vs interest and so on.

I love the analysis. In the scenarios discussed, inflation and returns are steady, debt is paid off, and there is a moderate income which should cover basic living expenses so long as the clients don’t live too long. However, if sequence of returns is unfavourable in the early years of retirement, the plan might fail. These people need contingency plans. That might include selling their home, reverse mortgage, moving in with family, starting a KZfaq channel, working at Walmart, or living in a van down by the river.

My two favourite KZfaq retirement channels have found each other! Tina and Norm are fabulous and very encouraging, like your channel. One strong point of disagreement would be that they encourage taking CPP early, largely because they believe governments worldwide are cutting losses by denying pensions to seniors until age 67, 68 and one better grab it soon as they can. I like your number analyses that say we should do the opposite. However, what they said in their last video, and you in this one regarding retiring on 250K or 300K, very much mirror my retirement plans. As I said to both you and them: I was long afraid I would end up bedsore-ridden in a cockroach infested common ward since I couldn't save a million dollars like the doom and gloomers say. My other guru, Fred Vetesse, correctly says most retired people can live comfortably on 45%-55% of their primary working years income. One (or two) CAN retire on 250K. I have been retired for eight months, and I can attest it is true.

@ParallelWealth 2 жыл бұрын

SS in the US is in a much different state than CPP. When looking at CPP and the real data and stats, everything points to delaying it. If you take it early it more than likely psychological, which is fine - but can be costly.

@kimh 2 жыл бұрын

@@ParallelWealth Oh yes, we are fortunate with our solid CPP. But back in 1995, it appeared that the CPP would indeed be going away, as the fund was down to $17B, compared to about $500B today. The gov't did something right. I agree everything points to delaying CPP at least, and even this knowledgeable couple suggests taking it early. Norm took it at 60 as he was retired at 55, and Tina delayed it until 65. The idea of delaying until 70 likely is kind of anathema to them. You, with the numbers, have the proof that delaying is right.

It simply depends on your income versus costs. If your income stream in retirement is greater than your costs, then you are profitable, just like a business. The investments must be sufficient to cover unexpected costs, just like the capital available to a business during low sales. There is no magic number. Obviously, it helps if the number is higher, but if the income stream increases as much as costs, then a break-even scenario happens. Planning for potential cost increases is vital. But you can't possibly cover every single variable in life. We still must accept the risk of retirement or else work until we can't. Of course, a low stress part-time job in retirement helps, but that's just another income stream in the original equation.

@jeffreyfoss3053 2 жыл бұрын

From what I've gathered, delaying CPP only benefits the recipient and has no effect on any survivor benefit left to one's spouse. The survivor benefit is calculated based on the age 65 number only. Therefore, the additional benefit of delaying CPP until 70 is lost if the recipient passes away while waiting or soon after drawing the greater pension at 70. Do I have that right? 🤔

With $50,000 TFSA, use TFSA only to supplement income for 5 years until it’s gone. OAS and GIS combined today is $1,778.81 per month, $21, 345.72 this year, May 2024. TFSA needed is $11, 654. Leave RRSP alone for 5 years, it will total $255,256. The GIS alone is $12,785.64 for this year. Don’t even bother taking $2,000 for the pension income amount (line 31400 of income tax return). This is for this specific case only. Everyone is different. That would reduce your GIS by $996. You don't pay any taxes but with every extra dollar income you lose 49 cents of the GIS. When CPP kicks in at age 70, that RRIF ($255, 256) could supplement income $16, 604 annually until she is 100 years old. $35,332 per year take home money.

I am glad you pointed out delaying cpp and doing a tiered go go / slow go/ and no go phase. (Tina and Norm encourage early cpp and also suggest saving half the dividends of a cdn dividend aristocrat portfolio which is likely way too conservative especially when the numbers are so tight to begin with). The only thing I wonder about is the adjustments one would need to make in the case of a married couple is what should/would happen if one passes away much earlier (from what I understand govt survivor benefits aren’t that great?)

It is important to know what your expected expenses are going to be in retirement to get a better understanding of the true after tax spending. If you are going to pay off your mortgage before retirement then that is going to have a huge impact on your overall expenses. That may be a lot less than the initial 33K that is shown in this video. Personally, my partner and I will have our mortgage paid off in just over 3 years and we are 57 and 51. I plan on taking my retirement at 63 and my partner on her 58th birthday as she has a government DB pension that she can take full advantage of when she reaches 58. Also I am going to save 1% to 1.5% of the value of the house each year for repairs or upgrades. The other thing to consider is do you need 2 vehicles in retirement? Generally for the majority of the time you do not and when you do need transport because your partner is somewhere else, it will be much cheaper to get a taxi or uber, or better still walk or cycle if you ae still able to do so. The savings on gas, insurance and maintenance alone will be pretty substantial,

I would recommend budgeting for these expenditures BEFORE retirement. If your mortgage is paid off before retirement, use the money that would normally go to the mortgage to pay for a roof (even if it isn't worn out) . If your HVAC is as old as the house, maybe think of upgrading earlier. You'll save money on heating/cooling costs as new equipment is more efficient. That efficiency will help offset the costs. Do this while you are still earning money. Or, look at downsizing your home to a condo. Car? Do you need a brand new car when you are retired? I don't think so. Replace the old one with a decent used car. Or lease a new car for lower payments. Most people in their 70s drive less than you think. Unless they are travelling in a motorhome!

I retired the first time at 54. When you pull your CPP estimate the number is significantly higher than it will be in fact. The government doesn't include non contribution years. The general assumption is 8 years drop off, but if you retire early the zero income years will reduce the actual amount. It's not a huge some but I had my numbers pulled by Doug who Adam limes and my actual amount was lower all of $15 / month or 50 cents a day. If I start collecting at 60 I can get $45,000 in CPP payments by age 65. That's a 2 week holidays a year

Thank you for this. However I am disappointed how many of these financial examples on various KZfaq channels assume that a person or couple has no mortgage or other debt. What is the national average on that? I know a lot of people over 60 who still have mortgages for many reasons such as the financial impact of divorce, job loss and periods of unemployment and now job loss due to the unusual breakdown of our employment and small businesses for the last few years of restrictions and forced business shutdowns. I would like to see more examples someone in this type of situation with, let’s say, a $250,000 mortgage or perhaps instead of a mortgage, 50,000 in credit card debt (let’s say from helping their adult children through the past few years) and working past 65 is not an option now? Would you do the $250,000 retirement number crunching under those 2 different scenarios?

@DoneByD 2 жыл бұрын

The income numbers don't change... problem being is your living costs will go up as you have to pay debt. You would have to determine if you could live on the nominal income amounts Adam stated in his presentation. If those amount will not cover expenses you have two options - either generate more income (PT job, higher investment returns or put another way accept more risk, or cut expenses somehow).

@RG-hf4et 2 жыл бұрын

More people of retirement age as should downsize their homes and get rid of these mortgages & live more simply as your home is your biggest expense. The smaller your living quarters, all other expenses go down like taxes, repairs, insurances, heatining & cooling costs, maintenence, etc....Sell the house, live more simply, use the house sale money & pay off all that credit card debt & tighten your belts. Keep working. I am 66 and still working, in the process of selling my 2600 sq. ft. home, and getting rid of that burden. I can't wait to find a smaller place to live....If money is no object, keep the house.

Isn't that the more relevant calculation related to the longevity of the video title? In other words, she still has to pay tax on the various sources of income which means she will have to withdraw more than $33k a year

Adam: Thanks for bringing math and realism to making sense of a modest but sustainable retirement. on 250K. This is a goal that many Canadians, even with average incomes in their working lives, can achieve. It's also a great baseline for those of us who, while hardly wealthy, have a DB pension and/or more than 250K in retirement savings. If a 250K retirement is feasible, then a 500K or more retirement looks even better. A question: is that software you use available to self-directed investors, or is it used primarily by financial professionals? I'd love to purchase it for my own planning as a DIY investor and 50-something professional. I watch Tina and Norm also, and appreciate their more narrative approach to living well in retirement.
