Épisode 3

samedi 20 septembre 2025 • Durée 31:02

In Episode 3 of Retirement Unpacked, we dig into more of your retirement questions. We look at whether it’s possible to have “too much RRSP,” why certain RRIF withdrawal strategies can cause bigger tax problems, and how withholding tax really works. We also talk about the rumours of CPP and OAS moving to age 67, when it makes sense to turn off dividend reinvestments, and why a line of credit can sometimes be smarter than pulling extra from a RRIF.
