Retirement crisis looming as Boomers near 60 and RRSP gaps widen
A Canadian bank window message signals retirement timelines while surveys show most fear not affording retirement. The piece argues that many Canadians lack pension coverage, with average RRSPs around 42,000 and contributions below 10 percent of possible, risking a future of limited savings, CPP strain, and a possible delay or denial of retirement for millions. It urges disciplined saving, early RRSP contributions, loans to catch up, and investing in growth assets to secure a “golden” but fragile future.
