Retirement is going to take substantial reorganizing of assets, expert says

Let’s look at the numbers. Martin currently earns $95,000 per year and takes home $57,500 after taxes and deductions. Sherry has gross income of $46,368 and takes home $33,546. Thus their combined take home income is $91,046 per year or $7,587 per month. From that sum, they allocate $6,625 per month to defined expenses such as $960 per month to their home mortgage, $400 to personal loan payments, $725 for car payments and $525 to monthly RRSP contributions.

The transition from working to retirement needs a strategy. They could sell their $400,000 home and their $325,000 cabin. The $725,000 they might realize less $25,000 in costs would net $700,000, They could buy a year-round cabin for $500,000, freeing up about $200,000 to pay off their home mortgage and all other debts, with the exception of their rental properties.

Their TFSA account with a present balance of $85,000 plus $12,000 of annual contributions for three years would grow to $131,085 in 2022 dollars assuming a return of three per cent per year after inflation and would then generate tax-free income of $5,923 annually for the following 35 years.Article content

Price fixing has sent Realtor commissions soaring in an already hot market, lawsuit alleges | CBC NewsA class-action lawsuit has been launched against the Canadian Real Estate Association, the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board and the largest real estate brokerages in Canada, which alleges that price-fixing has driven up the cost of real estate commissions. Wait, I shouldn’t take advise from someone making the largest commission of their lives? There is no job that is so grossly overcompensated for the amount of work you actually do. And I say this as a former realtor. Real estate agents are important to get you the best deal on the biggest purchase of your life

Liberal leader challenges Manitoba premier in court for failing to disclose real estate sales | CBC NewsManitoba Premier Heather Stefanson is fighting a formal complaint against her in court for failing to disclose real estate sales worth tens of millions of dollars, in apparent violation of provincial conflict of interest rules. Odd that article doesn’t mention Trudeau once. It’s a bipartisan issue. Canadians need stronger conflict of interest laws for provincial and federal politicians. Hard agree.
