The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

I would never worry about that.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

Yeah, I did.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

I did have that guarantee period.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

And that would be the human part of me.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

The actual part of me would say, what's the point of the guarantee periods?

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

You're going to be reducing the amount by 3% or 4% or 5% of the payments.

And as I said, I shouldn't worry too much about what happens if I die.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

People are probably going to be better off if I die than if I keep on living anyway.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast

Let's say the kind of mistakes I could have made.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

In my 30s and 40s and 50s, I should have had pretty much all of my monies invested in stocks, for example.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

You certainly reach an age when you get to your mid-50s where you can't have all your money in stocks anymore.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

But I should have, and I actually did.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

So that's okay.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

I didn't make that mistake.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast

I wish I bought more shares of Morneau when they were private and when I could have bought them than I did.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

But once again, that's okay too.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

I don't have any really great financial regrets when it comes down to it.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

One thing I do tell people, and I haven't made this mistake yet.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

As I get older, I may not be as sharp as I used to be.

The Wealthy Barber Podcast
#54 โ€” Frederick Vettese: Retirement Planning Advice on CPP, Annuities and More

One mistake I tell people not to do is, if you have the lifestyle you want right now, you have more than enough to meet the lifestyle you want right now, why would you put any of that money at risk?
