Assuming you can retire fairly comfortably at 60, the most critical factor is how much more "useful" the money is from 60-70 versus 70-80. I had an acquaintance tell me that his 60th birthday was awesome since he still felt really fit and ready to really enjoy retirement, he also said his 70th birthday was completely different, with age really starting to become "noticeable". He was still very able-bodied at 72, but he said there is absolutely no comparison to 62! Past 60, age-related effects are an exponential curve, so don't kid yourself into thinking that 40-60 is at all the same as 60-80.

The average person might be healthy until, what, 78 ? If the average lifespan is '80s then those last years are not going to be fun. It's going to be in poor health, lack of mobility, diseases, suffering , you name it. Nobody dies when they're healthy. Why would anybody delay it past 65 and not enjoy life while you can. Starting your your pension when you're 70 and you might be lucky to have 8 years of health is insane to me. Tomorrow isn't promised to anybody. Live while you can.

Your comments and concerns are not relevant unless one UNDERSTANDS their life-enjoyment. If for you, spending all your income to enjoy life might be your thing, but it sure isn't mine. I add: I could go spend $1 million dollars to make myself happy in your lifestyle, but there is no joy in that for me. Money is ONLY a tool to help one achieve goals. I have new daily goals, and often, money is not necessary.

My father-in law just turned 70. He started collecting CPP at 65. Even though he's house rich, he would have had to sell his house and downsize to a condo if he waited until 70 to collect his CPP. With property taxes, insurance and utilities constantly going up he needed that extra money to stay in his house. I guess everyone's situation is different.

A great vid! Well done and much appreciated. Most folks in Canada are not well prepared for retirement - as both these surveys confirmed and those folks are forced to take CPP early and OAS on time. Those on plan will take CPP and OAS at 65. Those well planned, with good HEALTH and great financial LUCK - have the chance to delay these public pensions longer and possibly... until 70. But all of this assumes good health, no financial calamities on in the markets or personally, and a stable local currency....and low inflation. Most of this depends on the sovereign being a responsible actor....and that is presently not the case in a great many countries, esp in Canada with the present massive tax grabs underway, floated, or being considered. Just look at Turkey today - as a strong case study of what is mentioned here. They are in hyperinflation...and all pensions under that circumstance - go to zero. So you can get your retirement plan and pension plan all together - and the state - through its actions can and often does through history - take it all away. FP Canada doesn't allow the planners to say this. But it really needs saying....for public education and awareness.

The U.S. stock market today is the most overvalued in all of history and accounting back in 1929 was legit accounting not like the bogus corporate accounting today. Costs are already sliced to the bone. Basically a ponzi with absolutely zero fundamentals except the trend of the U.S. dollar is downward in the future. With everything 100 percent rigged there's no chance they'll implode the U.S. stock market before the November election. The safest thing to do is bet on a falling U.S. dollar after the November election by buying gold or even base metals. Oil is also good as too much money is betting on electric cars sewering the price of oil in the future years.

I think the increased awareness due to social media and advisors/tools are largely responsible for the upsurge in intent to wait on CPP. Still, it’s astonishing to see the number of people who remain uninformed or misinformed or making the decision to take it as early as possible based purely on emotion. “Because you never know” is not a good reason to make a potentially very costly mistake.

Another solid vid as usual. Suggestion for an upcoming video - a work-back from retirement to indicate a suggested timeline for different activities. For example, you give lots of good advice for what to do ahead of retirement, what to plan for in retirement, etc etc. It would be interesting to see that information in a notional timeline. Something like - 5+ yrs before retirement get your plan in place (conquest), 3 yrs out finalize your big pre-retirement purchases, 2 yrs out re-test your plan, 1 yr out live within your retirement budget, etc etc. I suppose people can put together their own rough timeline based on the information spread across multiple vids but might be helpful to see the high-level components mapped out on a timeline.

Around 2005, at 47 years of age, i was honing in on taking CPP at 70. Now, i am 66, fine tuning it to 68 or 69. It is good to see people seeing the light in delaying CPP. Back in 2005, i met two bank planners who advised that early CPP is always best. Now with the advent of quality KZbin channels, and the work of Frederick Vitesse, people can learn what is really best for them.

Most people think they can make a fortune gambling but end up losing most of their money. A guaranteed 8.4 percent return is a good return also indexed to the fake inflation rate when the Bank of Canada is doing everything to cut interest rates and cause a wage, price spiral leading to runaway inflation and a worthless dollar in Canada.

The problem is, the calculation is too complicated to simply determine which is best. I know you covered it in other videos, but If I understand, You get a 36% increase but if you are not working in those 5 years from 60-65, they take up drop off years and change the amount you get. It's interesting that a larger number aren't at least trying to postpone it to 65 and giving in to take it at say, 63.

Just make a decision, and live with the consequences. If people are dependent on the pennies saved for taking it later, then it's likely they don't have a decent portfolio that they should have started way back in their 20's. Now they're splitting hairs with CPP and OAS trying to time it right to get 100 bucks a month more. Who here didn't start their TFSA in 2009 when they had a chance?

The catch 22 to waiting until 70 to take CPP for me is that it would mean I'd have to work to 70. Defeats the purpose, if retirement is the focus. I suppose if you can retire and not need your CPP until 70, that would be a good option. As for me, I need my CPP when I retire, and I don't want to wait to 70. There can be a big difference in health between 65 and 70, and I think it's a mistake to assume your health will not decline at all during those five years. A bird in the hand.....

CPP is not "clawed back" though it is subject to regular income taxes. Perhaps you are thinking of OAS? Either way if you are in OAS claw back territory you should be doing well financially in retirement. OAS claw back doesn't kick in until you are making 91K a year (double that for a couple) and even then it's only 15 cents on the next dollar. Heck, you'll get some OAS all the way to 148K a year (almost 300K for a couple). Personally I think people worry far too much about OAS claw back, it's a high class problem to have.

True; my husband was obsessed with retirement, and he lived to 53. But he willfully neglected his health, and continued eating junk food. Many of us are living longer than ever, so it's still worth considering what your personal habits are; do you smoke? drink alcohol? not exercise? don't sleep? harbour resentment? stay mad? eat junk food? This is a recipe for a short life. Also, is there a history of diabetes, cancer or other illnesses? If so, yes take the money early. You may not even reach 60. But in many cases, people live well into their 80's and beyond. That extra money comes in handy. It's all customized to suit your situation. Nice that we have a choice. In many horrible countries, there isn't even a thing similar to this, and even if there were, they're not given a choice to take early or delay. We're blessed to even have this.

Great video again. I planned on CPP at age 68. I will have just south of 500 k at age 65 and a paid off home. Do some rrsp spending between 65 and 75 and what I don’t need will go to my tfsa which sits around 97 k which is included in my total savings I have a couple more years before 65 so savings is on steroids right now that the mortgage is gone. Don’t have a ton of time to gain on some stocks that are down but at least the dividends are sweet just hoping some of the stocks will recoup some in 5 to 7 years. Question. If I was to lose my job today at age 63, wouldn’t that have a negative impact on me delaying my cpp till 68?

The government seems to have thought this out well, maybe we need to elect more actuaries to public office. As far as waiting to 70, if your working fine, but giving up $12k a year would mean drawing down your own savings and there are psychological barriers to that game.

Definitely there is a psychological barrier to wait for CPP (and OAS too) until 70 and drawing down your RRSP savings instead but very often this is the most tax efficient way to withdraw the RRSP savings you've built up. To defer CPP you have to really trust the numbers. To me it's like accepting "the magic of compounded interest" when you are young and saving early. For sure it's difficult (save early that is) but usually it's the right thing to do and I'd say the same thing for deferring CPP. Personally I do trust the numbers and my wife and I deferred both CPP & OAS to age 70, we are the same age, retired at age 61, started CPP/OAS last year. So far so good and our combined CPP & OAS is very nearly 70K a year (I get max CPP my wife 80%, we both get max OAS). Those pensions should see us through no matter what happens with our savings and that has given us the freedom to spend our retirement savings enjoying our actual retirement, especially in those early and most healthy retirement years. Believe me, your health and energy levels don't improve as you get older. To me the whole "break even point" discussion is a just a distraction, I hate to even raise it but it keeps coming up. For those of us without a DB pension the main thing is knowing that with CPP & OAS we have a guaranteed and indexed income we can count on no matter how long we live and that seems like something to maximize to me. If we happen to die early then at least we got to enjoy the money we spent decades saving for retirement in our real retirement and not passing away with it still just sitting in the bank unused. I am also sure that when I am dead how much I was able to squeeze out of CPP won't be my biggest concern.

Thanks Rhys, interesting to see the high concentrations at 60 and 65 - would not have guessed. I’m blessed with good health and needing to melt down my RRSP so I’ll wait until 70 for CPP, though I’m not as sure with OAS. Question - with OAS being funded from general revenues and the government’s poor fiscal situation, do you think there’s a risk of OAS reform that reduces future payments and only grandfathers those currently collecting, thus wiping out the benefit of waiting..?

Good question. But I doubt they would muck with OAS payments as it would guarantee a loss in the next election. And why lower payments when you can just print more money to pay it. I’d say the real risk is continued devaluation of currency due to full-throttle overspending.

Just goes on to prove that Canadians are either Pooched financially and cannot afford to loose the trickles of CPP at 60 - to make ends meet. OR they are oblivious to the 42% Bump Up benefits if they wait until 70. both ways it is sad state of affairs. good video content. 👍

I’m waiting till 70. Luckily don’t need it. Will draw down my RIF to reduce my taxes at age 70 and maybe still see a small % of my old age that isn’t clawed back.

My question is lets say you live to the age of 80, If you start taking the CPP at age 60 how much have you taken by the age of 80? Same thing with taking it at the age of 65, to the age of 80? And if you start at the age of 70 to the age of 80? So pick a nice average rate that you would take at 65 and do the decease for early take out and do the inverse with the overage at the age 70. Would you get more by doing a early decreased rate for a longer term or the age 65 or 70? Thank You Don

Yes, delay your pension to age 70. The government thanks you. There is a reason they made this delay possible; because it saves the pension plan money at your expense.

I'm 58. My advisor tells me to take CPP at 70 and live off my RRSP's. Otherwise the taxes will kill me. I've yet to make a decision.

I think more people, like myself, are waiting longer to get pensions because we have no choice but to work past 65, not because we want to...inflation is killing the ability to have a reasonably comfortable retirement at 65 and it's not going to change for the foreseeable future.

Max cpp per year , at age ,below until 76/83/90 years old with the average life expectancy being 83…..which appears to me to make the “age of 65 to be the best decision” if you live to between 76-90 years old. 60yrs old start date $10,480 x 16/23/30years of payments =$167,680 at 76yrs old-$241,040 at 83yrs old =$314,00 at 90yrs old 65yrs old start date $16,368 x 11/18/25years of payments =$180,048 at 76 yrs old-$294,624 at 83yrs old =$409,200 at 90yrs old 70yrs old start date $22,300 x 6/13/20years of payment’s=$133,800 at 76yrs old-$290,940 at 83yrs old =$446,000 at 90yrs old .
