It’s more than budgeting. Budgeting help to know how much per month. Optimizing multiple income streams over a period of 10-30 years to minimize tax paid is another story. Excel sheet can only go so far and its estimation. Key is to gain access to one of these retirement planning software. There are only two that I am aware of for Canadian but they only allow “professionals” to use their softwares. Imagine they allow DIY subscriptions- what will happen to the income stream of advisors? I suspect the advisor “group” played a role in limiting DIY business model. Which apparently not an issue in US.

What I need is a software in which I plug in my estimated needs for the go-go, slow-go an no-go years, sources of revenue and then my saving with a mean rate of return and a deviation from that rate. Then it should tell me what is the probability of have enough money till I die (I.e. 50%, 75%, 90%, etc…)

He played a pivotal role in helping me improve my financial situation. Previously, I relied solely on my job and salary for income, but now I have found ways to generate additional income with ease, which has allowed me to leave traditional employment, thanks to Lewis. Nowadays, I believe that investing is not a choice, but a necessity for anyone who desires financial independence and a good quality of life.

I geek out on financial planning stuff but am a non-finance type. The only problem I have with the calculator is that the TSFA is awkwardly presented. It treats the TSFA and RRSP the same whereby contributions to both start and stop and the TSFA is melted down as is the RRSP/RRIF. I’m retired but my TSFA contributions have not stopped, nor will they, nor will my TSFA ever be drawn down to zero. It’s my leverage account that I use for extraordinary circumstances and emergencies and treat as my own personal loan fund against which I ‘borrow.’

One of the most morbid and most unethical questions, that we, the Canadians who originate in Europe have to hear when nearing retirement is “ how long do you think you are going to live”? That’ s so inappropriate! Isn’t it much more humane and civilized to give every retiree a government pension in a value of 70-80% of his average work time earnings, like it’s done in Europe? Up until a few years ago European seniors had not even heard about any “retirement saving plans” that would make their pension bigger, because there was and there is still not need for it; the government covers almost everything, and any savings can be extra for even better retirement life. On top of that, European seniors have FREE total healthcare, which makes their lives even more worry free and happier. The American seniors can only dream about that! But, once the American “democracy” with its weird way of doing things hit the European soil, it’s trying to convince everyone that its way is a better one, but thanks God, nobody in the world is buying it anymore! I hope our Canada will overthrow all the American influence in this area, give the retirees a mandatory comfortable and liveable pension and follow the right way, the European way soon! Thanks!

@@James_48 I also said unlikely. The reason I say it's very possible, which is still unlikely mind you, is because the world is changing, for Canada and for the rest of the developed country. Canada is rich for very particular reasons. Industrial revolution, colonization, etc... gave us a head start. Even then, our rolling 20 years inflation (actually the US's since I can only find their numbers, but I am guess we were similar) was well above 5% in the 80s. Then, we got globalization, the biggest reason our inflation was low for 20 years. However, that is a double edged sword and things are starting to reverse. Not only we are losing the benefits of cheap labours partly because our political environment, partly because labors in developing countries are getting expensive, but these enriched labors started to buy things. We are also losing the productivity advantages we got from industrial revolution and colonization which gave us technology and capital leads. China now can build things we can build for cheaper, they can also build things we can't build. They also got more money to invest in strategical areas than we do. The end result is that we are a heavily indebted country with an unproductive and expensive labor force (our kids are entitled and outright unmotivated) and no technological or capital advantages anymore. We still got the resources from colonization and a somewhat, although a lot less so, stable society, but that is about it. Unless we make a technological breakthrough (e.g. AI, robotics) that significantly increases productivity, which is likely but not a certainty, or developing countries fall back into poverty, which is again likely but not a certainty, it is rather unthinkable that our inflation going forward will be in the 2-3% range again. One of the consequence is that our government will also no longer have the ability to borrow for dirty cheap, causing debt service cost to jump. And without productivity improvement with developing countries responding to our petty protectionism, there's no reason for the stock market to return any real growth. These difficulties are common among all developed nations. It is very hard to diversified into developing countries given the lack of well regulated financial systems (another advantage we still got). Therefore, all three are very possible, unlikely, but possible. That's not even accounting for a housing market crash, which is inevitable at this point, increasing xenophobia and polarized population and populist politicians everywhere.

I love how these financial plans ignore inflation 😮 and presumes that if I want to live off $5000 per month in today's dollars, that when I'm 70 I won't have to withdrawal much more to get the same purchasing power.

EXACTLY! It's what I've always noticed whenever I see these types of financial planning/investment videos or articles. There are so many articles about _'Canadians not saving enough' for retirement,_ or how many 'cannot afford homes'. But yet... the majority or investment/planning 'examples' are either for people who are _in their 30s or younger (i.e. plenty of time), _ or if older, _already own homes AND assume they are/will be paid off._ Not a thing at all about single, child-free, and renting -- espcially at middle age/older. This demographic gets neglected, only good enough for the alarmist news headlines.

where is the calculation that includes inflation? 20 years ago, I would say things cost at least 1/4 as much or less.... gas, cigarettes, rent etc. so in retirement 20 years from now... you may need 4 times the monthly budget... and that does not count inflation continuing after you retire.... if you lived another 20 years after retiring now it is dramatically higher.

I really enjoy your videos. I would like to clarify and this may seem a silly question, but: I know that RSP withdrawals are taxable at my marginal rate. However, I never have to pay CPP or EI contributions on RSP withdrawals, right? I'm asking because I am using the CRA payroll calculator to identify taxes for different income levels. So I have been marking the income CPP and EI exempt.

How flexible is your retirement software. I had looked into using a financial planner and their software but it only allowed for a maximum of 10% on invested assets. My consistent return is well north of this and I would want to know your software can use any input. For example, can we say a 14% return?

It seems to me you are basing life expectancy from birth, not from your current age. If you’re a healthy Canadian male who is already 65, you have a life expectancy closer to 86-87. Most planners I have seen build retirement plans to age 95 to be safe with advances in medicine in mind.

Something you should include is if you leave the country, like I did. Make sure you applied for your pensions (CPP/OAS) are completed. Otherwise like myself, they drag their feet and you get your OAS 4 years late. When you are in another country, they can only pressure OAS once every 6 months, the government never replies and do not care about your pension. Also, your TFSA will attempt to say you are not entitled to them when you leave. I left in 2016 says CRA, but TFSA says I had to no right to them in 2013...! It is now 7 years of delay for an investigation to be done and still no response. Get your ducks lined up.

I think budgeting isn't necessarily a black or white, you have one or you don't situation. I wouldn't say that I budget, however I can tell you exactly how much I spent every year for the past decade, and every year it is significantly less than my income, and it doesn't have a whole lot of variability. I don't think that's a fail. It also gives me enough information to estimate my spending needs going forward, I can't tell you how much of that money is going to go to what expense, but I can tell you how much total will be spent. Others would say that it's not a budget unless you've accounted for every penny and exactly which thing it is going to, but I feel as long as you are responsible with money overall, the details actually do work themselves out. The key is that overall responsibility.
