Video: How much can Retirees spend in Retirement

A #Morningstar article from January #2025 describes their latest #studies and #simulations from 2024 about the #sustainable #withdrawals from your #retirement portfolio, and I would like to share the results. Affluent #retirees are #living #longer, and traditional #pensions have declined in prevalence. Meanwhile, many retirees are working well past the traditional retirement age of 65. This video outlines what you need to know about retirement income planning. While there’s no one-size-fits-all plan, the #4% rule has been a popular approach. According to the 2024 data, how much can you spend in retirement so your #portfolio lasts 30 years?

Video: Non-Financial Considerations prior to Retirement

Retiring is a significant #life #transition, and considering #non-financial #factors is just as important as #financial #planning. Here are some key aspects to think about: #Health and #Wellness, #Social #Connections, #Purpose and #Fulfillment, #Routine and #Structure, #Housing and #Living #Arrangements, #Personal #Growth and #Education, and #Legacy and #Givingback. By considering these #non-financial aspects, you can create a #fulfilling and #enriching #retirement #experience.

Video: How to Spend Money

This video is about people who have been #saving their whole #lives and now have trouble #spending #money. We have trouble with #decumulation. The video discusses being #mindful about spending on #experiences, knowing what your #values are so that you gain from your spending, including #altruism and #donations. Using a #budget is also recommended, to know how much you can and should spend, to enjoy the fruits of your #labor.

Updated list of Canadian dividend payers and what kind of distribution they pay

For a #dividend #investor, using non-registered accounts, how the dividends get #taxed is important. I had previously compiled, and just brought up to date, a list of all publicly-traded #Canadian dividend payers. I painstakingly found what kind of #distributions the 500+ companies pay. The list is available here. I also provide the location you should check prior to buying the stock to confirm the #taxation on the distributions. If you invest in Canadian dividend payers in a non-registered account, find your companies in this list.

Find your combined provincial and federal tax table on taxtips.ca, but you can see below there is a significant difference in taxes for Canadian Eligible Dividends, Capital Gains, and everything else. This is why I compiled the list, and hope it is useful.

Video: Wealth Building Strategies by Net Worth

I walk you through what your main #priorities should be at each #stage of #networth and show you what #changes (and what stays the same) as your #investment #portfolio begins to grow. You have different #priorities at a negative net worth compared to when you’re at over a #million. We look at #mortgages, #debt, #creditcard debt, #studentdebt, living beyond your means and #lifestyle creep, the importance of #insurance, an #emergencyfund, #saving #rate, #interest #rates, using #index #ETFs, #bonds, #privateequity and #realestate. The importance of #financialplanning, #tax #planning and living an appropriate #lifestyle is also mentioned.
