Consider what you spend for your enough number
– myownadvisor.ca
Earlier this year, I wrote one of the biggest retirement questions and potentially one of the most frequently asked retirement questions is “How much is enough”? The answer to this question at that time was “it depends” but there is a better answer than that.
The “it depends” response was in reference to the latest edition of Diane McCurdy’s book How Much Is Enough? In her book Diane encourages aspiring retirees to separate needs from wants but I always look at these things together. Determining your what you need and want to spend is your “enough” number.
While optimizing the use of registered accounts like RRSPs and TFSAs for your financial future are very important consider what you are saving for. What expenses do you expect to have in retirement? Will you be taking trips? Buying new cars every few years? Renovating the family home? Are you saving to leave an inheritance?
Looking at our finances, here is a quick list of expenses (needs and wants) I have today and some of the same ones I expect to carry forward in retirement:

Verizon agrees to buy back its 45 per cent wireless stake from Vodafone for $130 billion
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Verizon will own its wireless business outright after agreeing to a $130 billion deal to buy the 45 per cent stake of Verizon Wireless owned by British cellphone carrier Vodafone.
The buyout, the second-largest acquisition deal on record, would give Vodafone PLC additional cash to pursue its expansion ambitions in Europe. Those ambitions include its push to buy up other cellphone providers and to expand into the lucrative world of mobile services.
The deal announced Monday would also give Verizon Communications Inc., the opportunity to boost its quarterly earnings, as it would no longer have to share a portion of proceeds from the nation’s No. 1 wireless carrier with Vodafone.
Verizon expects the deal to boost its earnings per share by 10 per cent once the deal closes. It also boosted its dividend.
The deal still has requires approval by regulators and shareholders of both companies. It is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014.
It isn’t expected to have much of an effect on Verizon consumers or on the company’s operations…
