Frequently asked questions about retirement planning

The right CPP timing depends on your health, other income sources, and your Alberta tax situation. Taking CPP at 60 means a lower monthly amount; delaying to 70 maximizes it. I model this specifically for your situation — there is no universal right answer for Alberta residents.
Your retirement number depends on your Edmonton lifestyle costs, other income sources, when you retire, and how long you plan to live. I build the actual projection for your specific situation rather than relying on generic rules of thumb.
Your RRSP must convert to a RRIF or annuity by December 31 of the year you turn 71. Strategic planning before and after conversion — including the timing of other income sources — can significantly reduce your lifetime Alberta and federal tax burden.
Many of my Alberta clients do retire early. Early retirement requires careful planning around bridging income before CPP and OAS kick in, managing your portfolio for a longer runway, and tax-efficient drawdown. I help you model it realistically for Alberta costs of living.
