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.]]> http://www.banks.ca/featured/retirements-harsh-new-realities-protecting-your-money-in-a-changing-world-2/feed/ 0 http://www.banks.ca/retirement/retirements-harsh-new-realities-protecting-your-money-in-a-changing-world/ http://www.banks.ca/retirement/retirements-harsh-new-realities-protecting-your-money-in-a-changing-world/#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 23:56:34 +0000 http://www.banks.ca/retirement/retirements-harsh-new-realities-protecting-your-money-in-a-changing-world/ http://www.banks.ca/retirement/retirements-harsh-new-realities-protecting-your-money-in-a-changing-world/feed/ 0 http://www.banks.ca/retirement/925-ideas-to-help-you-save-money-get-out-of-debt-and-retire-a-millionaire-so-you-can-leave-your-mark-on-the-world/ http://www.banks.ca/retirement/925-ideas-to-help-you-save-money-get-out-of-debt-and-retire-a-millionaire-so-you-can-leave-your-mark-on-the-world/#comments Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:56:29 +0000 http://www.banks.ca/retirement/925-ideas-to-help-you-save-money-get-out-of-debt-and-retire-a-millionaire-so-you-can-leave-your-mark-on-the-world/
