Women face retirement gaps in Canadian investing
The piece notes women underestimate retirement needs and shows many Canadians have under $50,000 in RRSPs. It cites Trimark projections that a 65 year old woman may require around $1.03 million to fund 20 years of decently low inflation living and 8 percent returns, while only a small share hold such assets. It advocates aggressive investing, borrowing to invest if needed, and using RRSP contributions and in-kind transfers to boost retirement savings.
