The main purpose of a retirement policy such as the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is to provide you with the necessary supplement to company retirement plan or contributions to the National Insurance Scheme.
These are meant to cover your basic needs, but you also need to consider healthcare, home maintenance, vehicular replacement or third-party transportation and other ad-hoc costs which you might not initially factor into your retirement income needs to ensure that you have sufficient financial resources.
A Sagicor RRSP is even more crucial for those self-employed persons for whom company supported retirement plan.
While you can start with as little as $100 a month (that’s roughly $20-$25 a week) remember that you may need to review your RRSP every year as your needs change, your standard of living increases, or as tax rules are updated.
