To accomplish this, plan the optimal timing and amount of cash flow and income you\u2019ll receive from your assets. For example, you can opt to receive reduced Canada Pension Plan retirement benefits as early as age 60, or enhanced benefits as late as 70. The amount you choose to receive to supplement your other sources of income will impact your overall tax profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Consider the (potential) cost of long-term care.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A 2018 report from Statistics Canada indicated that almost one-quarter of Canadian seniors are caregivers. If your health deteriorates, you may require assistance performing basic daily activities such as toileting and feeding. Government funding for long-term care is limited, and programs can be difficult to navigate. You may save some money if a loved one is willing and able to provide care. Otherwise, Canadians are left to cover the full cost of long-term care, which may include a part-time nurse, rehabilitation or 24\/7 private care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Plan your corporate strategy.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Small businesses comprised 98.1% of all employer businesses in Canada in 2021.<sup>i\u00a0<\/sup>Many Canadians save assets inside their corporations or rely on the sale of their business to provide for their retirement. Integrating these assets into an overall retirement picture, however, adds complexity. A wealth plan can identify opportunities to reduce or defer taxes such as accessing the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption on the sale of qualified shares, positioning investment assets to only generate needed cash flow, and timing dividend payments to avoid Old Age Security (OAS) pension recovery tax (claw back).<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Protect your wealth.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Your early death or disability (or your spouse\u2019s) could negatively affect your family\u2019s financial security, forcing your loved ones to tap into retirement savings to pay for day-to-day expenses and medical bills earlier than intended. Consider life insurance to cover liabilities such as debt or lost income, or disability insurance to protect your ability to earn a living. If you or your spouse were to pass away or become permanently disabled today, would your loved ones be financially secure?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b3b8ff0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b3b8ff0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;premium_particles_zindex&quot;:0,&quot;premium_particles_responsive&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-02dc697\" data-id=\"02dc697\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_particles_zindex&quot;:0,&quot;premium_particles_responsive&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d6e61d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5d6e61d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h5><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">It\u2019s never too early to get started.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Becoming familiar with your retirement options and planning appropriately can reap significant benefits.
