The one book your bank REALLY does not want you to read.
More than ever before, Canadians are frightened and stressed out
about their retirement and financial future. With the mortgage, car
payments and credit card bills, there never seems to be enough to
pay the current bills let alone save thousands in RRSPs. At the
same time, the large financial institutions are bombarding us with
fearful messages of destitution unless we maximize our RRSP
contributions.
The stock market crash of 2008 has proven one thing: traditional
retirement planning advice simply doesn't work. The risks are too
enormous. Throwing money into RRSPs and trusting the stock market
is like gambling with your family's future. But how do you plan for
retirement without risking everything? In Enough Bull, David
Trahair explains:
How to invest only in 100% safe investments that will
never decline
How to get out of mutual funds and the stock market -
forever
The "Tax Turbo-Charged RRSP strategy" - why you should wait
until you are over 50 to start your RRSP
Exactly what age to elect to receive the CPP pension
How to avoid the scams that lead to personal financial
disaster
Easy to understand and simple to apply, Enough Bull shows
Canadians how to avoid all the traps and why doing the exact
opposite of what they have been told will leave them much further
ahead.
