Retirement Is A Different Picture

Retirement is becoming a hot issue as more and more baby boomers come face-to-face with their 65th birthday.

A fireman in Winnipeg is fighting the mandatory retirement policy saying that he is healthy and that there is no reason he should retire.

Freedom 55 isn’t necessarily the goal anymore, with more people expecting to work past the age of 65. (Up from recent years where the age was 61).
41% of pre-retired Canadians in an RBC poll plan on becoming healthier in retirement with 80% of those planning on having a better diet and 79% exercising more.
Sun Life Financial reports in their recent survey that only 28% feel very confident they will have enough money to enjoy their desired lifestyle in retirement and only 41% have calculated how much income they’ll need to retire.
