Aloni Goh Wealth Management Presents:

Life After Work Seminar with Tammy Vigue, Retirement Coach

The goal of this seminar was to provide clients and attendees with key information about the non-financial aspects of planning for retirement
as a complement to Aloni Goh Wealth Management’s discretionary investment portfolio services.

Tammy Vigue is a Retirement Coach and Speaker with a mission to expand the way we think about and plan for retirement.
With over twenty years of experience in the financial industry, Tammy has gained a unique perspective on retirement planning.
She believes that traditional approaches to retirement planning are incomplete and that creating a vision for a fulfilling life after work is just as important as financial security.

Retirement planning is more than just about the money.

To have a successful retirement, you will need to find ways to replace the benefits you get from your work, beyond the income.

FAQ

We are here to answer any questions you may have. We’ll focus on you – your plans, your goals, your hopes and your dreams.

What is an RRSP and how can I contribute?

Registered Retirement Savings Plan is an account that provides tax benefits. Withdrawals are taxed but contributions are deductible. There are four types of RRSPs: Individual, Spousal, Group and Pooled.

The year you turn 71 is the last year in which you can make a contribution to your RRSP.

You can contribute to an RRSP under which your spouse or common-law partner is the annuitant until the end of the year your spouse or common-law partner turns 71.

The amount you can contribute to your RRSP is based on your income last year less any pension adjustment up to a maximum of $30,780 for 2023 and $31,560 for 2024. Any unused contribution room accumulated after 1990 remains intact and can be carried forward. The deadline for contributions for the 2023 tax year is Thursday, February 29, 2024.

There are three ways to find your contribution room:

You will be required to provide your date of birth, social insurance number (SIN) and the total income of your previous year.

What is a TFSA and how can I contribute?

A Tax-Free Savings Account is an account that provides tax benefits. In most cases, withdrawals are not taxed but contributions are not deductible. Contribution room is accumulated starting at age 18. In certain provinces and territories, including B.C., the legal age (depends on the age of majority) at which an individual can enter into a contract (which includes opening a TFSA) is 19. In 2009 or later, in these jurisdictions, a person turning 18 years of age who would otherwise be eligible accumulates TFSA contribution room for that year and carries it over to the following year.

The TFSA contribution limit for 2024 is $7,000. Any unused contribution can be carried forward. An individual who was 18 years or older in 2009 and has never contributed to their TFSA can contribute a maximum of $95,000 as of 2024.

There are three ways to find your contribution room:

You will be required to provide your date of birth, social insurance number (SIN) and the total income of your previous year.

What is an RESP and how can I make contributions and/or withdrawals?

A Registered Education Savings Plan is an account that allows caregivers to save for their children’s post-secondary education. There are two types: Family RESP and Individual RESP. The RESP is composed of two parts:

  1. the Educational Assistance Payments (EAP), which includes the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and the earnings and growth in the account
  2. the Post-Secondary Education Payments (PSE), which are contributions made by the subscriber

The CESG is provided by the government of Canada and contributes 20% of the first $2,500 in annual contributions to the RESP up to a lifetime maximum of $7,200 until the end of the calendar year the beneficiary turns 17. To receive payments from the RESP, the beneficiary must be enrolled in a qualified post-secondary program.

There is an $8,000 limit ($4,000 for part-time studies) on EAP payments for the first 13 consecutive weeks in such a program. After the student has completed the 13 consecutive weeks, there is no limit on the amount of EAPs that can be paid if the student continues to qualify to receive them.

If there is a 12-month period in which the student is not enrolled in a qualifying education program for 13 consecutive weeks, the $8,000 ($4,000 for part-time studies) the maximum applies again. The EAP is taxable in the student’s hands.

There is no limit on PSE payments and it is not taxable.

CPP: How do I get my Statement of Contributions from the Canada Pension Plan?

The Statement of Contributions is a record of your pensionable earnings and contributions. It can provide an estimate of what your benefit/pension would be if you and/or your family were eligible to receive it now.

Your pensionable earnings is the sum of money added to the CPP during your employment years and from which payments are drawn to support your retirement in the form of periodic payments.
