retirement oz


how can I save for retirement?.?

I am in Canada, and I have some savings. I own a home, but work for myself. My spouse works as well. We want to travel now and not wait until retirement.,while our health is good. Retirement is a scary thought as income decreases. I would like help to figure this out so we can live without fear.

  1. Do you have Roth IRA's in canada?
  2. one penny at a time
  3. You can choose to fund a fixed annuity which will give you guaranteed income until you die. As some one who is self-employed you can contribute up to $12500 into a SEP or SIMPLE retirement plan. A traditional or Roth IRA will only allow you to contribute up to $4000. Talk to your local Financial Services rep. They should be able to give you some sound advice.
  4. steal like our Gov does( from the working class as in taxes and welfare ) and you'll be ok
  5. You may want to consider an annuity if you are concerned about living without fear because annuities pay out set amounts each month. Just a thought.
  6. As a matter of principle you really should save at least 10% of your income, until you retire. If your savings and house already provide enough capital to earn an income you can save less.
  7. well the best way to make lots of money is real estate investments...
