Summary
Most Canadians with a well-funded RRSP are making a silent, six-figure mistake — and their advisor isn't telling them.
When your RRSP converts to a RRIF at age 71, mandatory withdrawals stack on top of CPP and OAS. Without a drawdown strategy, the result is a marginal tax rate above 40% for the rest of your life. A decade of deliberate planning could save you $90,000 or more. Most people never have that conversation.
This book is the conversation your advisor should have had with you.
Written by Trevor Carson, CFA — with 20 years in Canadian capital markets and corporate finance — this guide covers:
- The RRSP meltdown strategy: when to start drawing down and why
- TFSA vs. RRSP: which account holds the wrong investments right now
- The LIRA most Canadians forget they have — and how to unlock it
- Spousal RRSP income splitting: the couples' tax advantage almost nobody uses
- A decade-by-decade action plan: what to do at 45, 55, and 65
- 10 questions to ask your advisor — and what their answer tells you
Clear. Specific. No product to sell. This is the plain-language retirement tax guide that should be in every Canadian's hands before they turn 60.
