Make Retirement the Best Yeas of Your Life

Jim Yih

ASPA is dedicated to providing our members with information and resources that will enrich your experience as a member and employee of the university. This June, the following retirement planning workshop may be of interest:

Retirement is a personal decision. According to Jim Yih, one of Canada’s leading experts on money, retirement, investing and personal finance, the most successful retirees are not the ones with the most money, but rather the ones who take time to understand what they want out of retirement and plan accordingly. 

  • Yih will share with you his insights on the most important issues when it comes to having a successful retirement including:
  • That retirement planning is personal. Retirement can be anything you want it to be – you simply need to take some time to figure it out.
  • Why you may not need as much money as you think to retire happy and successfully
  • That retirement planning is the harmonization of two important issues: 
  • lifestyle issues; and
  • money issues
