Living in Oshawa, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with planning for retirement in our community. With a population of over 175,000 and a significant number of residents over the age of 65, many of us are thinking about how to secure our financial future.
The economic landscape of Oshawa has evolved over the years. Once heavily reliant on the automotive industry, our city has seen changes that affect employment and income stability. The median income here is $39,600, and with over 15,000 residents utilizing employment insurance benefits, it's important to plan carefully for the years ahead.
Many retirees and those nearing retirement face concerns about inflation, unexpected health care costs, and the possibility of outliving their savings. Studies show that 32% of retirees find their monthly expenses higher than expected, especially among those with lower incomes.
Working with a retirement advisor can help navigate these uncertainties. We can assist in creating a personalized financial plan that takes into account government benefits like CPP and OAS, as well as other income sources. Together, we can address concerns such as rising living costs and ensure that your savings are optimized for your retirement needs.
Unexpected events can significantly impact finances. Nearly half of retirees experienced unforeseen circumstances like long-term disability that affected their retirement plans. By planning ahead, you can prepare for these possibilities and safeguard your financial well-being.
Many retirees and pre-retirees have not yet appointed a power of attorney or a trusted contact person, which are crucial steps in managing potential cognitive or physical declines. A retirement planner can guide you through these processes to ensure your wishes are respected and your assets protected.
Considering that a significant portion of pre-retirees have less than $5,000 in annual savings and many do not have a formal retirement plan, it's never too late to start planning. By collaborating with a retirement advisor, you can gain confidence in your financial future and focus on enjoying your retirement years.
Let's work together to build a retirement strategy that reflects your goals and the realities of living in Oshawa. With careful planning and personalized advice, you can look forward to a secure and fulfilling retirement.

Rising costs, including inflation and housing, add pressure, while unexpected expenses can disrupt their savings. Many worry about running out of money or needing to work longer to achieve financial security.
