Thank you for finally shedding some light on the single person! My current conundrum is that having lost two travel years to the pandemic, I want to travel as much as possible while I can, so getting a pet isn’t very practical. I see my pet owning friends who travel having to board their pets often at great expense, and apart from the financial aspect, that doesn’t seem fair on the pets.

That's the hassle, even if you want to go away for a day or two you have to have a plan of what to do with your pet. I live near a pet hotel, the staff wears scrubs and they are always out walking the dogs, so it seems like a well-managed operation. As you said, they charge a lot of money for this service.

@cotonluv2570 8 месяцев назад

Yes before I retired I had a senior pup and that was tough, especially as the pup got older and it was difficult to leave him in a boarding situation. I retired recently and I am caregiver for an elderly parent, so travel is on hold for now. But my plan is to spend 2-3 years travelling and then get a puppy , as by then I expect the stress of further travel will make the choice to stay at home with a pet an easy one!

I retired fully at 55. I just applied for CPP to begin next year because with 5 years of zero income to 60 and maybe 65 my CPP benefits would decline from 60-65. Singles really are hard pressed. I wish you had a plan price for simple singles like myself with all cash and only CPP OAS to come. Paying as a couple with alot more variables and planning needed irks me as a single. Hope you can remedy for we singles 😊

@danag812 8 месяцев назад

@martik778 8 месяцев назад

Your example with a 70k DB pension is not very typical! Almost 40% of seniors get GIS and probably a higher % if single. Poverty among single seniors is a real issue especially widows and single women. Much of the advice here would also apply to a surviving spouse.

@MegsCarpentry-lovedogs 8 месяцев назад

It may not be typical but there are enough of us that do fit into his example and need to have his advice and education. He can do a different scenario in another presentation to give a broader take on singles in lower income.

@TerriWiebe-hq3rz 8 месяцев назад

Maybe many of the current seniors are eligible for GIS because women likely didn't work outside the home in the 1950s and 60s so no pension. And CPP was only implemented in the late 60s. So their current income is under the amount required. But almost all my friends currently aged 60 - 65 are right over the line for qualifying for GIS. It sucks because I will be making just 2,000 over annually and won't get any GIS

@martik778 8 месяцев назад

@@TerriWiebe-hq3rz They have to draw the line somewhere. 21k seems somewhat low depending on your situation. ie: if someone rents they are up the creek. If they own their house with no debts and defer taxes they're laughing. GIS used to be enough even for renters, not any more

@maureenhussey7032 8 месяцев назад

Owing a house or car, travel and pets! Can't afford any of those. Keeping a roof over my head and food on the table, the odd 'liquid refreshments', playing Pickleball, cycling when the Canadian weather permits. That's about it. I am having fun though, being single! Really, less is more! 😛

@marie-christinebouchard9864 8 месяцев назад

While some of the challenges were fair, I think many of the challenges covered actually apply to couples…..emotional loneliness leading to overspending, lack of financial knowledge, etc….not sure why these were identified as being of most interest to single people…not mentioned, the joy of being single and how much easier it is to make decisions vs trying to reach consensus….just my opinion. Thank you for the generally informative videos.

@billj7460 8 месяцев назад

I'm from the states, but the general concept still applies to me. I'm now age 60 and when I was younger I never expected to be a single man at this point in life, but I am. You're right almost all of the advice you find on the internet is geared toward couples. Rule #17 (get at pet) is a good idea if you're not going to travel. However, pet hotels are just too expensive, in my opinion. I'm not sure what to think about the 70K CAD pension, if ppl have that going on, then there's nothing to worry about. I've noticed a lot of Canadians in Mexico, when I have visited there. Thanks for sharing the video with us. 👍

More global people are trending towards singleness due modern relationships being non ideal problems. This video content is great. Another financial channel said taking early CCP at 60 will permanently lower monthly CPP payments by about 50% whereas delaying CPP to 70 would double monthly CPP payments permantly. That is getting $600-800 compared to getting $1600/month.

I totally agree with the personal alarm system. My elderly mother, who lived alone, had one and the company was fantastic. Once someone was trying to break into her house but hearing the voice on her machine scared them away. The second time she had a fall and they called emergency services. Well worth the cost. I didn't live nearby but they would always call me to give me if the button was activated.

@vm6824 8 месяцев назад

Sure it's more expensive (for some things) retiring single, but no drama from someone pays massive dividends for your mental health in retirement. BUT yes, you need to be very diligent and creative with your fiscal plan. I hope to retire early (and on purpose- happily single) and all my choices, decisions will not require anyone else's approval. The freedom will be incredible! The points about long term care, someone 'looking in' on you, personal alarm etc... is the same for everyone - single or not. There will never be a guarantee your partner will notice or even be able to help you when you need it. The take away here is that EVERYONE needs to be responsible for their retirement plan and be proactive. I really appreciate a video for us singles. Long overdue.

Re emotional loneliness, that's a good point re spending, but I don't actually think the single are lonelier in general... the loneliest I've ever been in my life was when in a marriage that had died... and unfortunately, I think many stay in lonely relationships for financial reasons. And being single means there are no relationship-based restrictions (including sharing your time) to what you can get involved in.

Thank you for your informative videos. I really enjoy your content and checked out your website to see if I might be able to afford direct planning with you. I am single. As you know, that means I only bring one income into the house and pay for everything. Its definitely more challenging and my options are more limited. I have often been very frustrated with the disadvantages that singles face when it comes to a lot of things... And, I hate to say this, but I was also quite frustrated when I saw that your individual planning packages for singles cost $3500 whereas those for "a household" cost $4000. Once again I was left feeling like I'd gotten the short end of the stick. When a houshold has two incomes... clearly the $4000 works out to $2000 each. As a single I get to pay a "supplement" on that of $1500 (for a total of $3500). I'm sure there are reasons for this very minor difference in price but its not a good look. Anyway, thanks for your content. I really do enjoy it and have learned a few things for sure.

People don't care about one another unless they get something from them. I have friends, mostly single guys, one female and two married couples. They don't live near and the ones that do are too old themselves and are struggling themselves. The ones in a bubble "the married ones" see me as an intelligent threat, the wives particularly. The women often ask, "What did he say?" They are scared of truth. The social dynamics we all face are so individual and no one is the same as the other.

I came back and worked until I could afford my next trip and then another after that. If you have a desire to see the world, do it. Staying in shared accommodations like hostels or home stays is the best way to meet wonderful people and not feel alone. Don’t wait until your health declines or travel medical insurance gets to costly. I think it’s easier to meet others as a solo traveler than as a couple. And if you want to cruise, NCL has a solo meetup every night on most ships so you can have dinner with other solos. It’s challenging at first to step out as a solo traveler, but the rewards will out way staying lonely at home.

I love solo travel. I've done so many trips solo and have met great people along the way. Sometimes, as a woman, I am a bit limited due to safety concerns, but there is still a lot to see even if I don't go to, say, Colombia. Nowadays I don't even try to find a travel buddy as I figure they'll cramp my style LOL.

Ya its better to retire as a couple until the other half decides that it is not. "I like the line If I die early it worked out well". LOL only in Canada.

I just bought a used Honda Civic. It was $40,000 after taxes and registration (in Canada). The example you used of a $25,000 replacement vehicle would be quite old, and well-used.

@lmor7110 8 месяцев назад

$10,000+ would get a nice used vehicle on the Prairies that would last for 10 yrs if you drive it gently. Many seniors drive less & less as they get older, and struggle to keep a vehicle going during extreme winter weather. Then they move into a senior facility & don’t need a vehicle anymore.

I am a single guy at 70 years old. I still work 100 hours a month and plan to do so as long as possible. After I put my RSP into a RIF next year what vehicle do I have to reduce my taxable income after the RSP is converted?

@ParallelWealth 8 месяцев назад

Not a whole lot to be honest. You get some decent age and pension credits at your age that would help a bit.

1. There is no negotiation with another person on when you will retire. 2. It's your money, you control it. 3. You won't end up as someone's caregiver (and all love and strength to the world's caregivers) 4. Travel where you want to travel. 5. Get the urge to get up in the middle of the night to make pancakes and watch movies? Go ahead and enjoy! 6. Your living arrangements as you age will be tailored to your specific preferences and needs. 7. Your positive energy shines unclouded within your own four walls. 8. Having a day when you don't feel like doing anything? Then don't do anything! Be gross and stay in your pyjamas for a day. It'll be great. Tomorrow you'll have a lot more energy to clean up and go out and have maximum fun.

@jimkwan1807 8 месяцев назад

Totally agree!. Freedom that comes with being retired single. Single tends to make more friends than couple who tend to stay in their own nest. I found it so true when solo traveling. If you are a couple, stay as a couple and enjoy one another, but if you are single, enjoy all the benefits that come with retiring single.

Run the numbers....index average rental cost for inflation (2-3%) and see where the numbers lead you. Anyone can make their own basic retirement plan just using excel spreadsheets and google. In the end your plan is your responsibility. Educate yourself. All the info is out there.

Married or not, each individual should be treated the same regarding taxes, SSI etc. It is ridiculous that you get all these perks for being married- especially since we are more and more seeing people remain single.
