Planning a Canadian retirement on a U.S. income
– moneysense.ca
Q: I have been working in the U.S. for almost two years now. Over the course of the last two years, the U.S. dollar has gotten substantially stronger. My salary is paid in U.S. dollars, but 80% of my assets are Canadian. I have a Florida house, a Canadian-based U.S. dollar non-registered investment account and a U.S.-based 401K. My husband and three kids continue to live in Canada, where we will retire in approximately two years.
My question is: Should I be aggressively converting large sums of my U.S. pay into Canadian dollars to take advantage of the strong U.S. dollar?
—Amy M
A: First off, Amy, congratulations on your big raise! You took a job in the U.S. two years ago, which was no doubt a concession that must have been worth it at the time, but you have got a 25% pay raise in Canadian dollars during that 2-year period as well. Currency conversion has definitely worked in your favour—so far.
In the same vein, that swing could go the other way and I can understand why you are wondering about the timing decision of converting back to Canadian dollars…
