When people talk about "RRSP time," they mean it's a prime opportunity to contribute to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). Consistent monthly contributions to your RRSP are commendable! If you are contemplating whether to contribute more before the February 29 deadline, here are six compelling reasons to do so: Tax-Deferred Growth: Contributions to an RRSP enjoy tax-deferred growth, meaning you will only pay taxes on investment earnings once you withdraw funds. Flexibility: RRSPs offer diverse investment options, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds, along with flexible contribution amounts up to your limit. Spousal RRSP: Contributing to a Spousal RRSP can balance retirement income between partners, potentially lowering the overall tax burden for higher-earning spouses. Tax Deductibility: Contributions can reduce your taxable income, offering tax benefits, especially for those in higher tax brackets. Home Buyers' Plan: First-time homebuyers may withdraw up to $35,000 (as of the last update) from their RRSP for a home purchase, subject to repayment within 15 years. Contribution Room: Missing a year does not mean losing your chance; unused contribution room carries forward, allowing for larger future contributions. For more detailed advice, consult your investment advisor or financial planner. After the February 29 RRSP contribution deadline, consider joining Alena and me at our March 2, 2024, workshop to discuss building financial resilience. I will talk about financial planning, and Alena will deal with mental resilience in building wealth. Find more details and register through the link provided here.

Running out of money is a widely acknowledged concern in retirement planning. Yet, there's a less-discussed aspect that's equally significant—the "Real Retirement Problem." It's not just about financial security; it's about maintaining one's sense of purpose and identity often intertwined with one’s profession or business ownership. This is a critical, yet often overlooked, component of retirement. The cost of neglecting this aspect of retirement can be profound. While many diligently prepare for market volatility, inflation, and sequence of return risks, few consider the emotional and psychological implications of leaving behind a career that has been a source of fulfillment and identity. That's why incorporating this into your financial planning is essential. It should be an integral part of your clarity conversations with your financial planner, reflecting your personal values and vision in your family's mission statement. I'll delve into this topic at my event on March 2nd. (registration link in comments) If you want to ensure that your retirement plan is as robust personally as it is financially, join us.

Last Thursday, I gave a presentation about building your legacy with Yanique Russell and Minnelle Williams. It was a fantastic event highlighting the importance of beginning your legacy planning and also a beneficiary audit. A beneficiary audit is a review process to ensure that the designations on your financial accounts and estate plans accurately reflect your current wishes for asset distribution upon your passing. If that is important to you, then one essential action you should consider is conducting a beneficiary audit. Here are five reasons why: Ensure Accuracy: Check that the people or organizations you have named as beneficiaries still match your current intentions and life situation. Prevent Disputes: Tackle any potential conflicts or mistakes early on to reduce the chance of legal issues or disagreements among family members. Review Estate Plans: Ensure your beneficiary choices align with your overall estate planning objectives and tactics. Protect Privacy: Keep your asset distribution private by confirming that the correct beneficiaries are listed (incorrect listings could lead to your assets falling into the wrong hands or becoming public). Maximize Benefits: Update your beneficiary designations to distribute assets and lower tax costs effectively. You can manage your estate's future today by performing a beneficiary audit. This ensures your assets are safeguarded, your desires are accurately represented, and your family benefits.
