Info Session-Tax Planning in Retirement – Wednesday, April 8th at 3:00 pm.  Are your retirement accounts structured to pay you, or the CRA? Are you taking enough? Not enough? What happens if money runs out, or out live your money? Is there a game-plan to work with when things do not go as planned?  Drawing down your wealth without a structural blueprint is the fastest way to trigger heavy, avoidable taxes. In this brief presentation, we will break down exactly how to extract your capital efficiently, avoid the most common tax mistakes, and engineer a sustainable paycheck for the rest of your life.  Presented by Brad Gallant of Edward Jones.
