Make the Most of What You've Got: The Canadian Guide to Managing Retirement Income

Make the Most of What You’ve Got: Turning Your Life Savings Into Retirement Income does what You Can’t Take It With You did for estate planning.

It provides easy-to-understand information on a complex subject to help you maximize your income and minimize tax. It explains what to do with your nest egg after you retire, ways to invest it, and how to make sure it will last you through the rest of your life

Canadians—whether they are retired, about to retire or baby boomers planning their retirement—are living longer, and their nest eggs will now need to last 20, 30, or more years. You can no longer rely on CPP and OAS to make up the shortfall in your pension plan—you must continue to manage and invest your money if it is to keep you comfortable throughout retirement.

Make the Most of What You've Got explains what to do after you retire and how to manage your investments so you can retire without the worry of inflation, a low dollar or an economic downturn. You have worked hard all your life, and should enjoy the same quality of life in retirement, as you have become accustomed to, without worries.
