Since its initial publication, The Pension Puzzle has
become the definitive book on the subject. Now completely revised and updated,
The Pension Puzzle:
- Explains what pensions are; how all the different types work;
how government, employer plans, and RRSPs fit together; and how to judge
whether your employer’s plan is a good one.
- Shows you how to determine how much income you’ll need in
retirement; how much government benefits and employer plans will provide for
you; and how aggressive you have to be with your own RRSP investments to
supplement these other plans.
- Includes new information on the funding crisis that many plans
are facing and what it means to you; a full update on LIRAs, LIFs, and LRIFs;
tips and strategies on what happens to your pension when you leave work; and
changes in pension laws, standards and regulations.
- Helps you make sound decisions about your pension plan and how
it affects your financial future, whether you’re planning your retirement,
changing jobs, handling a divorce, or making decisions about early
retirement.
- Includes practical forms and worksheets, tips and
examples.
“Spending each day as you choose and getting monthly
cheques to pay for it is neither boring nor painful, yet the mention of
pensions brings on tensions. Bruce Cohen and Brian FitzGerald are right on the
money with a sensible, straightforward, and practical guide to how much you can
expect, where it will come from, and whether it will be enough. Don’t
leave work without it.” – Michael Kane, The Vancouver
Sun
“If you’ve been looking for a basic book on
pensions, this is it. The authors help empower the average Canadian with solid,
plain-English information, and with tips and worksheets, that cover off a
variety of retirement programs and scenarios.” – Deborah Lomow,
