There is a lot of confusion when it comes to retirement planning. How much will a family need to retire comfortably? Are RRSPs the best answer? Can the stock market be trusted?
The standard answers from the “experts” include: start an RRSP early and maximize your contributions, use the stock market and mutual funds for the best returns, put faith in a financial adviser. But what if those answers are wrong?
The problem is that much of the common advice is from people with a conflict of interest. Many are simply trying to sell financial products that make them money… at the client’s expense. This course is designed to cut through the sales pitches and get to the simple truth.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
The five main retirement myths:
- If I had $1,000,000 I could retire. Why less than a million might be sufficient.
- RRSPs are the holy grail of retirement. Explore an alternate strategy that is guaranteed, has no-risk, and eliminates fees.
- Don’t worry about your investments: You’ll be fine in the long run. Why you may not be making the eight to ten per cent a year they often talk about. What your adviser doesn’t want you to know, and how to calculate your own investment personal rate of return.
- Income taxes are the enemy.. How tax schemes and shelters sabotage your personal finances and why they should be avoided at all costs.
- Buy permanent life insurance to secure your financial future. Who really needs it, who doesn’t, the perils of whole and universal life, how to get term life cheap. Critical illness and long-term care insurance.
Other subjects:
- Mortgages: All about the different types, how to optimize your mortgage strategy and find the lowest rates.
