Retirement Planning

I received a number of emails asking for resources on retirement planning.

The web offers extensive resources on retirement planning. My favourite online planning tool is BMO’s Investorline retirement planner. You will need an active account to use the tool. The other major banks and insurance companies offer similar tools. Diane McCurdy, author of How Much is Enough?, offers an online tool here. Even the government of Canada has an online planning tool. I keep going back to Investorline.

I have read over 50 books on retirement planning. From Bach’s Smart Couples Finish Rich, to Eisenberg’s The Number, there is no shortage of books to help you pull together a plan.

If you are relatively new to planning and investing, Bach is a pretty good bet. He offers a Canadian version of his financial planning books.
