Bill Welch and CPP

CPP: The general advice is that if you can wait to take the pension then wait, because you ll get more, and because its indexed you ll get more for longer. But some readers are frustrated because thats too general and doesnt take into account the specifics of their case, according to The Star. I know of a number of people who are delaying their CPP based on analyses like yours and who dont do the calculations specific to their own circumstances, wrote Bill Welch, who retired last year at 57 and is trying to figure out what to do about CPP and When it comes to the decision about whether to start your Canada Pension Plan early or wait until later, theres plenty of opinion. Thats true; one size doesnt fit all and the best way to figure out whats best for you is to seek the advice of a financial planner or other professional. Its their job to look at the details of your financial life and help you reach the right conclusion. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
