    Family health history as well as one's personal health also needs to be a MAJOR factor in deciding whether to start or delay payments. In my family, my father passed at age 56, my brother at 56 and another brother at 60. I've seen numerous situations where payments were delayed to age 65 only to be quickly terminated due to an unexpected passing. I'm 68 so delaying CPP and OAS to age 70 would have been a huge risk I was not willing to take.

    • @wrongwayconway
      @wrongwayconway 11 місяців тому +5

      I totally agree! My partner's family health history is poor, and his health isn't the greatest so he retires at 60 and started his CPP right away. My family tends to make it to 75 or 77 at most, I plan to retire at 63, however I started my CPP just before I turned 62. I work in an ICU, I've seen way to many people die before 60.

      You can never tell. A friend of mine's grandfather retired at 56 because his father died at 56 and his grandfather also died at 56, he wasn't taking any chances. He sold the farm he had worked since he inherited it from his father, his house, everything, and moved in with his son (my friend's father). Once he gave everything up he sat in that house waiting to die -- for the next 40 years, he lived into his 90s! I have heard that genetics accounts for about 25% of your personal longevity, the other 75% is related to other things like lifestyle, advancement in medical treatment, and just plain luck. Family health history is one thing but you never know.

  • @DavidWilson-ps8gx
    @DavidWilson-ps8gx 10 місяців тому +3

    This is a very good video and I agree with your approach. However, how would my Cpp non-contributory years affect the decision on when to start. I have read and done my homework, so I know it will impact any decision I might make. I understand that if you have 8+ years of non-contributory years, I should consider taking Cpp earlier even if I do not need it. I also have a defined pension plan with bridging that will be dropped at age 65. I also have sufficient RRSP to cover the drop in bridging for an additional 5 years. But as I said, that would push my cpp non contributory years from 8+ to 13+, which starts working against me with regards to the 17% dropout rule that would come into play. Therefore would it beneficial to take Cpp at 65 or delay it to 70 despite getting an additional 42% at age 70 as opposed to 36% at 65? Adjusting for my diminished bridging by implementing a RRSP meltdown?
    What's your opinion? No one covers how the non contributory years affects our CPP or OAS?

My accountant recommended withholding 30% rate for taxes. My brother did something similar last year and ever worked out great. Service Canada people are the best. I and my wife renewed our passports last year for 10 again. Service Canada was simply awesome to deal with filling in forms, paying and when to expect to receive them. Which we did almost to the day we expected them.

    I’m 60, planning to work to 70 and hold off on collecting both CPP and OAS until then. As of 65, I’ll have 20 years of max contributions. If I keep paying into CPP another 5 years max contribution, will it make that much difference?
    If I can stop contributing to CPP at 65 (even if I’m not collecting to 70) I can contribute that to my FHSA and RRSP so which would make more sense?

Would the average be higher? By how much? I wonder how many people who would get the max at 65 but find out they’ll get the average at 60 and think “ seems good enough” ?

    Seeing as qpp’s calculator is better than cpps, why doesn’t cpp leverage that one to enhance theirs?
    Politics aside, it seemed like oas was in dire straits (great band btw) 10+yrs ago and had to be pushed to 67 before being pulled back to 65 by trudeau; how can canada afford the 10% bump for persons over 75? Are we just digging ourselves deeper and/or a vote buying trick by trudeau to keep his grip on power while driving the country further into the abyss?!?!

    I think it is important to add in this video especially for immigrants who have less than 20 or 40 years of residence (after age 18), that they may still be eligible for partial OAS payments as long as they have lived in one of the countries Canada has established a social security agreement OR contributed to the social security system of one of the countries with which Canada has established a social security agreement. Has this changed from last year's different Scenarios list??
    Snippet from OAS website: Partial Old Age Security pension for less than 40 years of residence (after age 18).
    "To receive a partial Old Age Security pension, you must have lived in Canada for at least 10 years (after age 18). The amount of the partial Old Age Security pension you receive depends on the number of years you have lived in Canada. Your partial payment amount is based on the number of years in Canada divided by 40."

      You can request tax not be deducted on both CPP and OAS. My spouse and I have done that.
      Of course if you have other sources of income (pension, cashed in RRSP) you will probably owe something at tax time.

    Is CPP getting to be a BS plan? Looks like $7500/yr between employee/employer to get $1300/month (indexed). Still, invest that for 35 years and you could generate $3000/month? Plus if you get hit by a bus on your 66th birthday, CPP is gone, but your investments would still be there. Should the government be offering an "opt out" along with an enhancement?

      I dare say if it were optional far too many people would opt out and not save that money either. These type of DB of pension plans only work if (almost) everyone is in. Guaranteed for life indexed DB pension plans are very hard to come by and difficult to duplicate with personal savings.
      I look at the indexed guaranteed CPP & OAS benefits as long life insurance. It's sort of like paying for fire insurance on your house, I really don't worry that my house might not burn down and I won't collect on all the premiums I paid.
      Also consider if you get hit by that bus you are dead and when you are dead will how much you got from CPP really matter to you?

    • @James_48
      @James_48 11 місяців тому +1

      I think the better way to look at this is determine today, how much did a 65 year old put in since age 18? - what is their total contribution? Then compare that figure to $1365 per month, indexed for life.

    Notice all these channels NEVER talk about those on disability? WCB is one of the worst, yet no one understands this. First, years ago, they discriminated against what job you had. Then the WCB only gives you 60 percent of your income. Which was 85 percent for other jobs. Then at 65 They cut you off and the government then only gives you 500 for CPP? Top off then is reduced because ooo your retired, so we are lowing your top off 15 percent. You're already deciding on paying for medication or your heating bill. Thus?

Canadians who never worked get OAS as well but not CPP, the same as immigrants. Please do not spread falsehoods.
