Financial Post Article: Woman with $3.77 million in investments needs balance between private equity, GICs
The Financial Post asked me to review the finances of a 79-year-old woman with $3.77 million in investments, who wants to structure her income to minimize tax.
Retired in 1978, she leased land from her family farm to a local farmer, which became her source of income. After selling the farm, she now lives in British Columbia with other properties and investments.
In this article you’ll learn:
- Her exact investment portfolio.
- Why interest paying investments are not the safest.
- Her annual expenses and passion projects during retirement.
- The best overarching strategy to structure her retirement income & minimize tax.
- The type of investments she should choose to save tax & provide a reliable long-term return.
- How she can reduce her tax from $50,000/year to $5,000/year.
- Why she should create “self-made dividends” for the cash flow she wants.
