Continued from page 13 Statistical science at the University of Waterloo, says “For me personally at the age of 42, I believe that something called Canada Pension Plan might be there for me when I retire. However, I think it will likely be heavily taxed or that the benefits will be pared right back”. When we look at government pen- sion plans for government employees who comprise about 23% of employed Canadians, we see the beginnings of some dis- turbing trends. British Columbia’s Auditor General, George Morfitt, reported in December 1991 that his province’s public service pen- sion fund is $441 million short of what it needs to provide the neces- sary benefits for more than provincial government employees. Of course, the experts can be wrong but there does seem to be a growing realization that, as our society ages and our indebtedness as a nation cramps the capacity of government at all levels to provide services, government pensions may well be a victim of a chang- ing social and economic order in Canada. If you share some of that con- cern, then obviously making per- sonal provision for your longer term needs and retirement through Using RRSPs: "makes excellent sense" the use of RRSPs makes excellent sense. How you should be structuring your RRSP planning in relation to your likely income needs and your investment temperament is a sub- ject for my next article. However, before the details of that are reviewed, you should be giving thought to several issues - what preparations you have made so far; at what age do you wish retire and what does retirement mean. Will you be totally dependent your existing financial resources and assets or will you want to continue to work in some part-time capacity for both finan- cial and therapeutic reason’ Those answers will largely determine how we work through the specific planning of how much to invest and how to invest.
