Retirement doesn't feel urgent until suddenly it does.
And by then, some of the most powerful decisions the ones that quietly compound for decades have already been made. Or not made.
Here are five specific, actionable decisions that can have a big impact on your retirement.
→ When to start contributing.
→ What your CPP Statement of Contributions actually says.
→ How to use your RRSP room strategically in your highest-earning years.
→ When to take your government benefits and why that one choice can change your annual retirement income by thousands of dollars, permanently.
→ Whether you'll be carrying debt past 60.
None of these require a large salary. They require attention. And that's something you can give them right now.
