Your retirement journey Four easy steps

1. Envision All visions start with a plan

Staggering statistic “Still, only 38% of Canadian workers, about 6.1 million, had company pension plans of any type as of 2011, according to Statistics Canada.” Source, Ross Marrowits, Canadian Press, Feb 2014

Set a goal Experts use the assumption that you will need to replace your pre-retirement income by 50 – 70% For example if you make $50,000 the year before you retire, you might need to be planning to replace your working income by 70% in retirement (or $35,000 per year). 9
