As with many from Milton, we’ve seen our town grow rapidly over the years. With a population exceeding 132,000 and a median income of $47,600, many of us are starting to think seriously about retirement. Our community’s expansion brings both new opportunities and challenges, especially when it comes to planning for the future.
Many people over 50 in our area are concerned about their financial well-being. Rising living costs, unexpected health expenses, and increased housing prices make it easy to feel unsure about retirement plans. Studies show that 32% of retirees find their monthly expenses higher than expected, particularly those with lower incomes.
That’s why working with a retirement advisor can make a significant difference. An advisor can help you understand your financial situation, identify potential gaps, and plan for the future you envision. They can guide us through the complexities of government pension plans, investment options, and savings strategies tailored to our needs.
In Milton, over 8,400 people are using employment insurance benefits, and many seniors live on lower incomes. With a large number of retirees relying mainly on government benefits, planning ahead becomes essential. A retirement advisor can help us explore additional income sources to supplement these benefits.
Unexpected events can greatly impact our finances. Almost half of retirees experienced an unforeseen event that affected their financial situation, such as health issues or early retirement. A retirement advisor can help us prepare for these possibilities by creating a plan that considers unexpected costs like long-term care.
Many Canadians haven’t set aside enough for retirement, and some haven’t accounted for expenses like health care or long-term care. In fact, 61% of pre-retirees saving for retirement haven’t included unexpected health-related costs in their planning. By working with an advisor, we can develop a plan that’s customized to our needs and helps ensure we’re ready for the future.
Whether we’re still working or already retired, it’s never too late to seek professional advice. A retirement advisor can help us make the most of our resources, manage debts, and provide guidance on maintaining or improving our standard of living during retirement.
Being part of a growing community like Milton, we have the chance to secure our financial future despite economic uncertainties. Let’s take the step to consult with a retirement advisor and plan for a comfortable and stress-free retirement.
