Most people who have the ability to retire can plan for it. The reality is that it is never too late to start planning for retirement. Even if you are already retired, you can plan ahead by reviewing your retirement finances and making adjustments as necessary. If you are currently working, you should plan for retirement by participating in the Retirement Readiness Assessment Program from the Government of Canada.
In Canada, there are many employment and pension plans available to retirees. Retiring is an expensive option, which is why knowing your options can provide you with peace of mind.
Families may have several options to consider as they plan for their retirement. Some people decide to continue working when they retire, while others choose to travel or play golf. Studies have shown that people who worked full time during their 20s and 30s typically live longer than those who had a different work history. This may be because full-time workers can receive the benefits of paid vacation time, access to group health insurance plans and a pension.
According to studies conducted by Statistics Canada, most people can predict their life expectancy to within 15 years but are often too optimistic when estimating how much money they will have available in retirement. It is important for people to understand that they will not get any money from the government; they must plan ahead and take action themselves if they want to enjoy a good quality of life after retirement.
