Retirement

Three years ago, a friend, Cam, told me about how his dad didn't see death coming. He didn't know that a truck would take him out while he was out doing errands for his wife.
He had no idea he was not going to return home. It was almost six months to the day since his mother had had a major stroke while she was in California.
His parents didn't have any insurance. So, they had to stabilize his mother to get her back home. That event essentially bankrupted them.

Saving for your future (including retirement or any large purchases) is an important financial goal which requires discipline and includes tax strategies. Two of the most popular ways to save for retirement in Canada are the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Popularity among Canadians for RRSP is higher given that it is a great way to reduce taxable income and save for retirement, while TFSAs often take a back seat. While each has their advantages and limitations, both can be used to maximize savings and compound tax benefits

When it comes to planning for a secure financial future, one term that often surfaced recently is "annuity." Annuities play a crucial role in retirement planning, providing a predictable and steady income stream for individuals during their post-work years.
