Six years ago, Gerard, aged 28, purchased a life insurance policy.
Gerard just got married to Tanya, and they both want to purchase more insurance. Reviewing Gerard’s policy, Tanya notices that Gerard neglected to mention that he had migraines due to concussions suffered from playing football when he was a teenager. Gerard did not intentionally neglect to mention the migraines as the migraines were never an ongoing issue once he stopped playing football.
Which statement is true?
Davy, who just turned 55, intends to retire 10 years from now. Together with his life insurance agent, he determines that he will need to have approximately $200,000 in RRSPs when he reaches age 65 in order to retire comfortably. He feels confident that his current RRSP account can generate a return of 3% per year on average for the next 10 years. However, he does not plan to contribute any new funds to his RRSP because he wants to start saving in his TFSA account instead. He therefore wonders whether his RRSP account currently has sufficient funds for him to meet his retirement goal in 10 years.
What is the minimum RRSP account balance needed now for Davy to meet his goal? (Round to the nearest dollar.)
