Too Much RRSP? RRIF Withdrawals, CPP Rumours, & Retirement Tax Strategies | Retirement Unpacked Ep.3

Work with our team: https://www.parallelwealth.com/planning In this episode of Retirement Unpacked, we dig into more of your retirement questions. We cover whether it’s possible to have “too much RRSP,” why certain RRIF withdrawal strategies can create bigger tax problems, and how withholding tax really works. We also talk about the rumours of CPP and OAS moving to age 67, when it makes sense to turn off dividend reinvestments, and why a line of credit can sometimes be smarter than pulling extra from a RRIF. Along the way, we share real client stories and planning conversations that show how the right strategy can make all the difference.
