Description

People over 65 years old constitute the fastest growing segment of the Canadian population. By 2011, as the first baby boomers turn 65, seven million Canadians will be senior citizens. And by 2041 it is estimated nearly one in four Canadians will be over 65. The aging population will radically change society as individuals face the challenges of growing older, caring for parents and often times for children still at home. As our life spans increase so do our options for how we will spend our later years.

John A. Page, CFP, R.F.P., is the Senior Financial Planning Advisor at Page and Associates, Toronto, and a speaker, author, and contributor to financial advisor training programs throughout Canada. Founded in 1978, Page and Associates is recognized nationally as both a pioneer and a leading-edge provider of strategic financial planning services. Rather than manage each aspect of a client's financial world in isolation, providing tax advice, investment advice, or retirement planning, Page recognized an important truth many people overlook — all aspects of a person's financial world are linked. Every decision an individual makes has an impact, often a profound one, on his or her long-term goals. Page founded his company of strategic financial advisors because he understood that many people don't have the time, expertise, or inclination needed to research, implement, and monitor a personal financial plan.
