Interesting Comment!So one of my sons says to me the other day I will never be able to retire! His comment was based on high debts and long term low interest rates we were discussing. It does bring up an interesting subject how much money or assets do you need to retire today in Canada? In the old day financial advisors would tell you the 4% or the 5% rule. In some are still spouting that nonsense! It was a given any dum bass advisor could make 4 or 5% buying bonds. But today you are looking at 1% so a 1 million dollar portfolio only brings in $10,000. Needless to say that would not quite fully cover my bar so the nest egg would be dwinding on an annual basis. So what do you think you will need to retire?????????
