Age of Retirement
When can you retire? The easy answer is, right now, but you won’t have an enjoyable lifestyle. The age of retirement for most folks is variable. If you want to live day to day then retire now, or save for your retirement.

Black Friday is Here, Exciting Tax Calculations and MoneyTalk
Black Friday has arrived (it has been here in terms of Black Friday Sales for the past month, so nothing new in this version of MoneyTalk ). Who will be wasting hours at work to find that ultimate sale? I won’t, I usually end up buying AntiVirus software and that is about it. I always wonder how it is Black Friday, when the mortar and brick stores typically open on Thursday evening?
I am saddened to hear that all the Turkeys that are pardoned by Presidents, typically died soon after, because “eating turkeys” are bred for white meat not longevity (Today You Learned).
The hottest Thanksgiving topic this year? How to deal with Political Discussions at the dinner table. Whatever happened to discussing candied yam recipes? What is a candied yam, by the by. I do enjoy the exploding deep frying turkeys though, nothing can beat those yearly traditions.
I watched an 8 year old do tax calculations last week, which was really interesting for the first little while, but then it ends up watching someone do Tax Calculations. She did hole hoop nicely though. See the video at the end for details on this. Seems like a lovely young lady (but I wouldn’t want to watch the Blunt Bean Counter do tax calculations either).
My Writings for Week Ending November 25th
After my time at CFPC16, I felt invigorated, so I wrote two articles this week, and have introduced a few new tricks as well.
Not sure whether other folks used the old SRA reading system, but I did, and it struck me that you could use SRA Readers for Financial Literacy and Money Concepts ? That methodology of starting off with more simple topics, and then build to the more complex ones.
The EQ bank folks were at the conference again this year, and one of their folks started talking about making banking more straight forward, so naturally that caused me to resurrect a 50 year old expression with, WYSIWYG Banking. You’ll have to read to figure out what WYSIWYG means (and how to pronounce it as well).
A CPFC16 Thought
The most interesting arrival tweet, by far, but I am not surprised either.

If you are a Canadian Federal Civil servant one the important numbers you need to remember is that the magic number is 85 for parts of your retirement plan.
