I’m Retired, What Do I Need To Do?
Services To Consider

Pay Off Mortgage Debt ASAP
Hopefully, you were able to pay off the mortgage on your home before you retired. If you did not there should now be a priority to pay that off as soon as you can.

Manage Your Debt Obligations
Living on a lower or fixed income, is not the time to be paying high rates of interest on your debt. Reduce your use of credit cards by paying with cash or debit transactions.

Review Pension Agreements
People are living longer today, so we really don’t know how long our retirement funds are to last. If you don’t have a company pension plan your retirement funds probably consist of your registered plans being converted into a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF).

Living Off Your Life Savings
Hopefully, during your working life you also saved and invested money in non-registered retirement plans. These could include stocks, bond, mutual funds or real estate.

Reduce Income Tax
If you are under the age of 71 and still have earned income or if you have contribution room in your RRSP, consider making tax-deductible contributions.

Stay On Budget
Chances are your income will reduce upon retirement. It is prudent to prepare a budget reflecting your new income level. Try to stay on budget. Look for ways to reduce costs such as taking advantage of senior or other discounts you might be eligible for.

Review Your Life Insurance*
Before you cancel any life insurance make sure you still don’t need it. Life insurance is used for older individuals and couples to leave a legacy for their children or charity as well as reducing any debt that really shouldn’t be left for the children to pay.

Make Sure Health Insurance* is Adequate
Consider purchasing long-term care insurance. Should the day come that you might no longer be able to adequately care for yourself without assistance these plans eliminate or greatly reduce the cost of such care relieving your family of that burden.
