Financial Skills for the Real World: All About Pensions

Monday, February 8, 2021 16:00to18:00
 All About Pensions

Here you are in grad school, not even having started a 鈥渞eal job鈥 yet and along comes a webinar talking about pensions. Isn鈥檛 this something for 鈥渙ld people鈥 to worry about? Turns out that the average Canadian is woefully underprepared for their retirement, not having saved nearly enough. The best time to learn about pensions is during university, since this way you鈥檒l have your entire career to plan things out. Not convinced yet? All right, short quiz: What鈥檚 the difference between the CPP and the QPP? Or between defined-benefit and defined-contribution pensions, and who gets them? Who qualifies for the GIS and how much OAS can you get? Are RRSPs better or should you get an annuity? And finally, how much money should you save before being able to retire? If any of these questions have you scratching your head, you should consider attending this webinar.

Learning Outcomes:
鈥 Learn how government pension benefits work (QPP, CPP, OAS, and GIS).
鈥 Review how much you should save in order to have a 鈥渃omfortable鈥 retirement.
鈥 Learn about which retirement income streams get taxed, affecting other benefits in the process, and which don't.
