My Three Talks This Year

Thursday, October 22

Retirement Tax Shock: Why Many Canadians Pay More Tax Than Expected

Most Canadians expect to be in a lower tax bracket when they retire. But many end up paying more tax than they expected.

In this talk, I’ll explain how tax brackets change after age 65 and why common assumptions about RRSPs and retirement income can lead to higher lifetime taxes.

You’ll learn practical strategies to reduce your taxes over time, including how to use RRSPs, TFSAs, and income timing to create a more tax-efficient retirement.

How to Build a Retirement Plan That Actually Works – and Grows Your Wealth

Is your retirement plan designed to help you build wealth and enjoy the retirement lifestyle you want, or is it focused too much on playing it safe?

Many retirement plans are designed to feel safe, but that safety often comes at the expense of long-term growth.

In this talk, I’ll explain my retirement planning philosophy, how to determine the investment return you actually need to achieve your retirement goals, and why equities may need to play a larger role in your portfolio than you think.

I’ll also discuss how to think about investment risk, long-term growth, and when more advanced strategies might be appropriate.

The Smith Manoeuvre vs. Cash Dam: How to Choose the Right Strategy and How Self-Employed Canadians Can Do Both

You’ve probably heard of the Smith Manoeuvre, but have you heard of the Cash Dam?

Many Canadians, especially those who are self-employed, may not realize there are different strategies that can help make interest tax-deductible and build wealth over time.

In this talk, I’ll explain how the Smith Manoeuvre and Cash Dam strategies work, when each one makes sense, and whether combining them could improve your results.

I’ll also discuss what to watch out for and how these strategies can fit into your overall financial plan.
