WHAT DOES AN UNPLANNED CAREER TRANSITION MEANS TO YOU? The COVID-19 pandemic has unsettled the Country’s employment picture for months.However, the nature of this disruption varies greatly among individualssome have been transitioned to work from home, some have seen their jobs disappear, others have been furloughed and still others have been offered an early retirement. If you’re in this final group for example how should you respond?... Try to look at your situation holistically, rather than strictly in a short-term manner. Consider these four areas: Retirement: What does retirement really look like to you? Are you ready to fully retire or would you like to work part time?Or, do you need to work part-time? Income: Just how financially affected you’ll be from an early retirement depends on several factors. Do I need to start taking withdrawals from my Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and my Registered Retirement Savings Account (RRSP)? How much can I afford to take out each year? Will I outlive my money? How long will my money last? You may want to work with a financial professional to address key income-related issues. Protection (Insurance): If you received health insurance through your employer, an early retirement could present you with a dilemma. Same goes for the group life insurance and critical illness! Legacy: Many people want to take care of their family while they’re alive and leave something behind when they’re gone. Going through an unplanned career transition is certainly challenging. I am here to help you navigate this uncharted territory!
