2007 National Retirement Survey

Rethink Retirement

The party is about to be over for many Baby Boomers. But people can implement some steps to avoid having all their retirement dreams extinguished. 

To help preserve the dreams Canadians are holding for their later lives, Desjardins Financial Security looked at the impact of longevity, health and economic risks on retirement savings in it's sixth annual retirement survey– with the good intention of helping Canadians leave no stone unturned when it comes to ensuring a realistic retirement.
 

• Do you want to learn more about the retirement risks that can affect a retirement financial portfolio? 
• Do you want to get an upper hand on these risks now and start talking to you financial advisory about them? 
• Do you want to know how current retirees are managing these risks – in the earlier years of retirement and later in life when their health isn't as good?
   

Take the time to preserve your retirement dreams by familiarizing yourself with longevity, health and economic risks. You've worked hard to get this far!

DFS Past Years Surveys

The 2007 edition of the retirement survey represents our sixth year of researching Canadian's preparedness for retirement planning – both financially and socially. We invite you to read our past years surveys to discover :
 

• how people perceive they are going to survive on $50,000 of savings;
• how they plan to pay for their health-care costs on fixed incomes;
• what they intent to leave as inheritances;
• if they realistically think they can work to make ends meet – like they do when they are younger and healthier – during their senior years;
• and if they can actually enjoy their big retirement dream.
