Both my husband and I began our CPP at 60, and we were both still working full time. We placed the monthly amounts into our TFSA accounts without using the payments. Our decision was based on loosing a close friend quickly to cancer and he had not retired nor received his OAS or CPP, he signed his work pension however, passed before he received his first payment. Life is short and we both wanted even if not full amount, what we could get just in case we did not live out the time to reach the full payments amounts.

I took CPP at 60 with no regrets. 60 to 65 are your best travel years so the money is more valuable than at 80 if you are trying to enjoy retirement. One factor some forget is once you draw CPP there is a cost of living increase each year so you will get 5 increases before 65. So compare the 65 pension number to the 60 pension number plus 5 cost of living increases. It worked for me, having the money when young enough to enjoy it is a consideration.

Always interesting to hear your take on things. I think the first rule is: If you need it at 60, take it at 60. I'm all for compromise between 60 & 70...I took it at 65. Best of both worlds to my thinking.

I retired at 59 took cpp early and w/d RSP to top up Income. I was concerned that the 5 years of not working would effect the non working years. I have a very meager budget and will be better off once OAS kicks in at 65 and I plan to get GIS too. I expect to live until 80/85. My home will pay for my retirement home if it comes to that, but hope to age in place. Basically I'm house poor, but glad I have a roof over my head.

Retired at 54. Im taking mine at 63. $1000/ month. My non contribution years kick in ( worked part-time after 54). Not doing an RRSP meltdown either because i have DB pension with a bridge until 65. Meltdown would increase my income to close to what I was making when i was working and all that would do is hit me hard in taxes..and just give my retirement savings to the government. It would also kick me into significant OAS clawback. I could wait to collect CPP, but why? More income means more taxes. No mortgage, no car payments, zero debt. Debt is the killer in retirement.

@deckmonkey1459 6 ай бұрын

How will you get your money out of your RRSP before you die if you aren't going to melt it down? You'll probably lose 50% of it when you die. I would think taking the money out of the RRSP first and then taking CPP later would cost less in tax while getting the same amount of money. He has a bunch of videos on it that make sense of how to do it.

@jl4482 6 ай бұрын

Simple strategy… 55 now. Working part time. My indexed DP pension puts me in the 28.2 bracket. I will meltdown RRSP from 60-68 years old to the 28.2 limit. Once RRSP’s run out take my CPP. I will take OAS at 65

I am in similar situation retired age 55 with DB and $200/mth bridge to 65 (my spouse retired same year age 65 with DB,CPP $900, OAS and both have $200k-300k RRSP each). I've been melting down my RRSP/RRIF big way age 56 to 59. Now age 60, I start taking my CPP $830 (36% decducted) and continue melting down RRSP/RRIF with adjustable amount (until age 70) trying to maintain most appropriate (avoid OAS claw back, tax bracket...) flat line of income each year for best tax benefits, until end of life. However when time come we still get higher tax hit with survivor benefits (DB and CPP)... My RRSP withdrawa give to my children for maxing their TFSAl (it'll be their inherent anyway, why not give them now😊). That is why I take my CPP age 60. It is better tax benefits. I understand each family has their own situation and own thoughts to decisions, but for us, rather give my children the money than let the tax man and government agents keeping our money!

Retired at 57, DB with bridge to 65 in play, working part time now. No RRSP. 60 is coming up in a year, was thinking a good choice would be to draw at 60 and pay down debt (relatively small mortgage) a little early. But CPP on top of a bridge would mean more taxes for the 5 years. I think I might need a planner to crunch a few options.

I started collecting CPP at 60 based on 2 reasons. My husband retired at 62. Less than a year later had a stroke and with more tests has brain tumour. 2nd reason I would have lost 5years of benefits even at reduced amount. I also retired at 61. That last year of working FT and collecting CPP all went to taxes.(big error there). Ten years retired now and I don’t regret my decision. I guess I’m fortunate because I also have a company pension that I opted to collect early at reduced amount. I get OAS because my overall income qualifies.

I retired at 60 and did a quick calculation. How much money am I leaving in the pool for 5 years if I wait until I’m 65, and how long will it take me to earn back that money after 65. It was an easy decision that allowed me to retire from full-time employment at 60 and work part time as a freelancer doing what I love. Happiness also has a value. But I agree that one size doesn’t fit all, so I’m happy to hear another POV on the subject. If only I had a nickel for every time someone told me not to do this!

I'm still working and I'm 64. My plan is to work until 68. I love my job and its a mere 4 minute drive from home. I'm only working till 68 because my wife is over 4 years younger and won't retire till 64. For me, no sense retiring to be home alone. My current decision is, do I start taking it at 65 or wait till I retire at 68. Between my wife and I we make excellent money. My company pension uses most of my RSP contribution. I contribute whats left in a personal rsp. I could take my CPP and OAS at 65 and put it in to TFSA. I would have no rsp space to shelter it and since there is no tax shelter benefits to a TFSA I'd likely be paying a lot of it out in income tax. I am working with a financial planner to get this sorted out.

Eventually she went to a nursing home due to health issues but not until around 80 (she did to private retirement home after a stroke around 75). But now to my point, in an Ontario nursing home she paid much more for her room and services those someone with low income. And my moms income wasn’t high but just higher than the threshold for retirement home costs. Interesting experience to see.

Fortunately, my pension plan has a CPP bridge until I'm 65 and I retired at 54yo. I'll definitely start drawing my CPP at 65 because the marginal years aren't that far after that. Travel becomes very expensive for insurance after 70 and life becomes very simple if your house and debts are free and clear.

@markbernier8434 5 ай бұрын

Take the CPP asap. A dollar now is better than an inflated and higher taxed dollar later. That discount on the pension payout is because they know the dollars you get now are worth at least 30% more than the dollars you will get later. This is especially true if CPP isn't going to affect your income/lifestyle in any case. No matter what you do you have to recognize dollars paid into the CPP are likely the worst investment you will make.

Break even point is at 77 yrs of age when taking it at 60 vs 65. Just remember whenever you take it, it is that amount for the rest of your life plus mediocre COLA increases. I will enjoy the 7.2% guaranteed increase from 60 while continuing to work at a job I enjoy and then maybe a few years past 65 with over 8% guaranteed increases. For every year past 65 I wait, my combined pensions (CPP, OAS, company) increase $300 a month. Many, different opinions on this topic, but if healthy, enjoying working and earning a decent wage, no panic to collect early.

If you wait 5 years and take it out at 65 you are starting at zero. It isn’t like you can take the money out for those 5 years of waiting. I calculated for it to equal out you have to reach the age of 72 and then the extra money from waiting starts become more. But for the 12 years if you invested the money wisely you will be far ahead. If you invest it and get a 5 percent return the amount you will have will be double what starting at 65 is. An example is. $634 at 60 at 5 percent investment return equals $196,500 at the age of 72. (12 years of investing )$991 at 65 at 5 percent investment return is a total of $101,300 at the age of 72 (7 years of investing) of course you would have to invest it and in a TFSA. But even if you don’t invest it and spend it, the amounts received will be equal at 72. Of course your situation may be different from mine. If you are still working between 60-65 you will be taxed more. I retired early and my pension along with the cpp is lower income.

Adam, - While the CPP grows while in "the pool", if I die my partner gets NOTHING!? - Isn't it better to own the money? "one bird in the hand is better than two promised'? - My current TFSA investment returns average 9-11%/yr. - How hard can it be to make 7%? (what CPP gives you). - My RRSP & TFSA are not maxed-out so putting my CPP into those means "I" own the money. No? - Say I do not need the money now (say 500$/mth) and leave it with CPP, two years later I have a big expense (medical, etc), CPP is not going to give me 12k$ to cover that. Even if my CPP by then would give me 14% more per year. I do not see the advantage. - I am going to be 63 this year. My partner 61. We have about 200K$ saved. - We are going to have to hit the trigger on these decisions shortly. - Do YOU personally work with and do financial planning for clients or just the six planners who works at Parallel do? Great video, great channel. (I follow with different accounts due to recent YT restrictions and policies). Thank you for your answers.

I decided to take my CPP a few months(Sept) before I turned 62(Nov). I'm still working until I turn 63. I saw that my CPP increased in December. I have a defined pension, a small RRSP, TFSA, and some stocks (>100k). My health is "okay" but I've been in Healthcare for 20 years, time to go!

If someone who turned 60 ten years ago took cpp at that time to reduce how much they withdrew from their rrsp, which was invested in an s&p500 etf, today they would be ahead by a substantial margin. I realize there’s more risk in doing it this way, but it’s not like buying an individual stock. You’re either betting on the Canadian government or the American economy. Either seems just as safe a bet to me but the American economy would have delivered you a far better outcome and over a ten+ year time horizon that’s unlikely to change.

The CPP will be around BUT, inflation will be much higher so if you can take your CPP payment and invest in physical assets that are denominated in USD's....or at least have their value derived from USD's....So, take your CPP as soon as you can get it....and invest in those physical assets every month. Do not have the tax deducted, but instead, pay the tax the following year with inflation reduced money.....

Great info and advise. Here is a retirement plan question no one seems to be able to answer. If I retire at 60 and stop paying into CPP but don't start withdrawing till 65, will the monthly payment continue to grow for those 5 years. Lets say my 60 year CPP would be $870 and the forecast for 65 was $1350? How is the value arrived based on waiting the 5 years and stopping contributions. The CPP board can't seem to tell me. It's vital info for a retirement plan. We have funds to supplement but not if it costs too much at 65. thanks

@ParallelWealth 24 күн бұрын

It will depend how many non-contributory years you have prior to age 60. If not many, then these 5 years could be unaffected. You essentially get 7 years of non-contributory years to CPP. So if you have 7 (or more than 2) prior to age 60, then your $1350 will be reduced slightly. But your annual amount from waiting increases as you are penalized for taking prior to age 65. I have never seen a situation where taking it earlier gives you more...hope that helps.
