In the realm of good planning, our philosophy at C. I. Financial revolves around listening, asking thoughtful questions, and then providing meaningful suggestions – in that precise order.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself contemplating your family’s future, it’s an opportune time to pose new questions about your overall strategy. While “Have you contributed to an RRSP?” remains a crucial consideration, it is not the sole inquiry when it comes to retirement planning. An increasingly vital question emerges: “Do I possess a comprehensive financial plan that addresses my unique life goals and needs, including retirement?”<\/p>\n

According to FPSC’s Value of Financial Planning study, sixty-one percent of Canadians who engage in comprehensive financial planning* express confidence in their retirement financial situation. In contrast, only 27 percent of those without planning advice and 46 percent of those seeking limited advice share the same sentiment.<\/p>\n

To provoke thoughtful introspection, here are just a few of the numerous questions to ponder and discuss with a financial planner:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do I have a comprehensive financial plan that addresses my unique life goals and needs, including retirement?<\/li>\n
  2. How can I strike a balance between saving for retirement and pursuing current priorities and goals?<\/li>\n
  3. When do I envision retiring, and what does my desired lifestyle entail during those years?<\/li>\n
  4. Where do I see myself living? Are there considerations regarding primary residences or vacation properties?<\/li>\n
  5. What income sources can I anticipate in retirement (pensions, savings, inheritances, and others)?<\/li>\n
  6. What legacy do I intend to leave for my loved ones or favorite charities?<\/li>\n
  7. How can I prepare for unforeseen health risks or unexpected circumstances?<\/li>\n
  8. What tax implications arise from my financial choices? How can I optimize tax breaks while safeguarding my hard-earned savings?<\/li>\n
  9. Given the above factors, should I invest in RRSPs, TFSAs, non-registered investments, or a combination? What should the allocation proportions be, and which types of investments are suitable within my comprehensive plan?<\/li>\n
  10. Do I have the right financial planning professional who can address my unique needs? What key questions should I be asking to ensure a successful partnership?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
