Straight Talk and solid retirement advice for all Canadians

In the face of government changes, financial market volatility, and an ageing workforce, Canadians are understandably concerned about the impact on their finances and their future retirement. This reassuring book debunks the generally accepted claims about necessary savings rates, which can cause paranoia among those beginning to contemplate retirement. The authors offer greater insight into planning approaches that are not widely understood, demystify retirement targets (age, savings, income), and outline concrete approaches to maximising retirement savings.

  • Offers practical advice for dealing with the changes to Canada's retirement system.
  • Includes advice for calculating your Neutral Retirement Income Target.
  • Contains solid financial advice in accessible language.
  • Written by the Executive Chairman and Chief Actuary of Morneau Shepell, Canada's national actuarial consulting firm.

The Real Retirement offers a down-to-earth guide for preparing for a comfortable retirement and shows what it takes to achieve it.
