I don’t know about you, but in my case, I find the subject of retirement fascinating. There are so many aspects to this part of our lives and such important decisions to make that it is both exciting and scary in many ways.

Inevitably, the financial implication takes priority and it becomes the root of all major decisions from then on. However, there are fortunately many retirement strategies that can be considered to alliviate or rather capitalise on different lifestyles to provide comfort, security and financial freedom in many cases.

This is what this discussion is all about…..

Living in Vancouver, Canada, one has to realise that the slowly creeping cost of living is a threat to our ability to sustain our existing standard of living. Although this country has done a fantastic job in keeping the inflation rate in check on the one hand, the Interest bearing accounts suffer accordingly.

Being in the “comtemplating” stage of retirement, the situation calls for preparation of some form of strategy that will allow a comfortable and stress free retirement future. This means investments and settlement destination plans.

Although for myself, I have to admit that summers in Vancouver Canada must be among the best in the world, and in your region, don’t forget to appreciate its best qualities too. It is not always greener on the other side !….

Winters in Vancouver Canada are somewhat dreary and wet that’s for sure, but the main concern here is the rapid escalation in the cost of living and with this post I am hoping to offer you the opportunity to share and exchange your views on that topic.
