Find strategies to do the most with your
retirement planning. How to take
strategic action to simplify, manage, protect assets
and reduce taxes
PARKSVILLE, BRITISH COLUMBIA – Canadians: There are
many bright ideas for your retirement lifestyle. A
financial expert's new book has outlined 49 key
strategies to save retirees money, time and energy.
With expert retirement financial planner Grant
Hicks’ Canadian Retirement Planning Mistakes: 49 Key
Strategies on How to Take Action to Avoid them,
those planning for retirement can make simple
financial adjustments, focusing on Hicks’ four
strategic areas.
Simplify – as in simplify your finances;
Manage – build a retirement income plan and
investment strategy;
Reduce – minimize and defer taxes; and
Protect – safeguard your assets.
For
so many Canadians planning to retire or who are
already retired, it might seem easier to plan in the
traditional way. But there are different ways to
think about retirement, Hicks says.
Many
retirees want to get rid of “hassle
assets” such as real estate or holding companies,
and they have time to pay attention to taxes and want to minimize their tax
bite each year in retirement. Hicks’ manual gives
retirees ideas to take to their accountants, lawyers
and financial advisers to get the advice they
deserve.
“Start today by making a to-do list,” Hicks says.
“Then start to enjoy the fruits of your success.”
Hicks' advice includes “outside the box” thinking to
bring other options that can be possible. Anyone
55+, nearing retirement or already retired, or
anyone advising or helping to plan for another’s
retirement will find Hicks’ advice invaluable.
Partial proceeds from the book will be donated to
Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation.
