Book Description

Jan 10 2012

In this hard-hitting new book, personal finance expert Gordon Pape zeroes in on the realities of retirement that confront Canadians, including collapsing pension plans, a tax system that works against us, pitiful savings rates, and the fact that there are no "safe" investments.  What lies ahead is a series of wrenching changes to our retirement system as governments and corporations struggle to cope with a tidal wave of harsh economic, demographic, and social realities.  But it is not all doom and gloom if you take control of your money now!

With his trademark take-action advice, Pape helps you to understand the realities of retirement and offers practical solutions for protecting your family's future in a rapidly changing world.  If you want to ensure that you have enough money for retirement, Pape's approach to finance will teach you how to create a financial plan that works, pay off debt (and stay debt free), invest wisely, understand your pension plan, minimize taxes, and more.

In these lean times, Retirement's Harsh New Realities is a must-read for all Canadians.  Take control and learn how to protect your future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic and Very Helpful Information July 19 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This should make investing and saving for retirement a lot easier. Gordon Pape has provided lots of good information about:

1) setting up your retirement funding and making sure it's on the right track,

2) the myths, or common beliefs, that can throw us off track,

3) how to minimize taxes,

4) the absurdity of Canadian tax law and how it punishes seniors,

5) how and where to invest to minimize excessive taxation,

6) definitions of the major investment vehicles and their level of risk,

7) good basic plans for Canadians based on age groupings.

The book is easy to read, clear, concise, well-written. I started to read it in the wee hours of the morning and couldn't put it down. Maybe it should be required reading for anyone with a Canadian bank account!

Thank you, Mr. Pape.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gordon Pape Strikes Again Mar 4 2012
Format:Paperback
I have been a Gordon Pape follower for quite a few years, and have purchased several of his books. This one does a great job of introducing folks to the "New Canada"...a much harsher and colder place that we are used to...and it looks like global pressure is going to continue to force us to be nastier and nastier with our retired seniors.
As a person who is already retired, I purchased it mostly for my kids....but In AM finding a few gems for myself, too.
Worth the purchase price.
