Does a single advice fit everyone?
- a single individual in her early 20s with an income of $70k.
- a couple in their mid 30s raising 2 children, earning a combined income of $170k.
- A couple in their 40s, with no children, with a combined income of $210k,
- a divorced person in his 50s with an income of $120k.
- a retired couple living on various pensions and investments adding up to $90k a year.
It's common sense that the people in these five different scenarios all have varying goals in mind, and that the advice which would be the most suitable to each of them would look different.
A financial roadmap should be as distinct as you are.

"$659,126 combined tax bill from RRSP and an investment property" after both parents passed away in a single year.
The RRSP account had $715k, which meant that in Ontario the tax on RRSP comes to just under $375k, so the investment property's capital gain tax was $285k, which meant that the capital gain on the investment property was just under $1.2 million.
Combined, the year of both parents' passing, their "deemed disposition income" comes to around $1.9 million, and therefore paid a total of $660k in taxes.
Two adult kids got $50k in life insurance payment each which mostly went to cottage maintenance and final expenses for their parents.
This is a classic case of having inadequate financial planning in place, unfortunately, especially having both the relatively large RRSP account AND an investment property with significant capital gain value.
The parents had a lawyer and an accountant, yet for one reason or another, the financial planning aspect was sorely lacking (lawyers and accountants can't actually do financial planning without specialized training or licensing), and they ended up paying an amount of tax that is almost equal to their entire RRSP value saved up over the years.
Not to mention that they won't see a single dollar paid to them from their CPP except the $2500 per person for passing away, which they certainly paid into it for roughly 40 years.
