There are many unknowns in this income forecast. Read on

Family Finance asked Derek Moran, head of Smarter Financial Planning Ltd. in Kelowna, B.C., to work with Rick. There are problems, he explains, in transitioning to retirement. Rick’s house is 63 per cent of his total assets and 73 per cent of his net worth. That’s not only a big commitment to one asset class — it is also an illiquid asset.Rick thinks he might make a permanent move to Mexico, where the cost of living is approximately half of what it is in Canada.

Rick moved to Canada at age 38, so at 65 he will be able to draw 27/40ths or 68 per cent of the maximum OAS of $8,000 per year which would work out to $5,440 annually. It is worth noting that if Rick works to 65 and has gross income over $81,761, the current clawback trigger point, he would be wise to defer starting OAS. OAS has a two-year look-back, so he would do well to defer the start to age 67. If he does that and gets the 7.

Rick’s RRSP, including his job-based defined-contribution pension, has a current balance of $324,000. He has $39,080 of contribution space. While working, he should make the most of the space, even if he has to take that sum out of his $130,000 taxable assets for a short period before replacing it.
