This book gives you the blueprint for creating sustainable income in retirement, making the most out of the assets you've taken a lifetime to accumulate, and building a strong financial foundation for your lifetime. If you are approaching the end of your working life or recently retired, you are probably anxious about your finances. How can you afford to retire, let alone enjoy your retirement in years to come? How can you ensure you won't outlive your money? Questions about retirement finances are now more urgent and worrisome than ever as the Baby Boomer generation retires in droves and economic conditions remain uncertain. Historically low interest rates, significant changes to the Canada Pension Plan, and rising government debt in the face of skyrocketing demand for medical care-all point to tough times ahead for retirees. Your Retirement Income Blueprint provides the plan you need to build a financially secure retirement, offering proven strategies that show you how to: Combine government and personal sources of income most efficiently Determine which assets to use first and which to defer Preserve government benefits and entitlements that are often needlessly wasted or lost Create results that are more survivor- and estate-friendly than traditional approaches Greatly reduce taxes on retirement income and your estate Live the lifestyle you want in retirement, and enjoy peace of mind knowing that your money will last as long as you do.
