Discussion 8 Retirement income planning consists of 2 phases: wealth accumulation and income distribution. For many individuals, wealth is accumulated by making contributions to a defined-contribution pension plan, individual retirement savings plans (RRSPs and TFSAs), and paying down their mortgage. Sources of retirement income include payments from the Canada Pension Plan, the Old Age Security Program, a defined-benefit pension plan and the conversion of the wealth accumulation accounts mentioned earlier to retirement income accounts, such as RRIFs, annuities, LRIFs, and LIFs. Answer all the questions below: What is an annuity? What are the two main types of annuities? Why would annuitizing your assets be considered a 100% safety-first strategy? . Relative to annuitization, what are the benefits and drawbacks of managing your assets throughout your entire life cycle? Assume you decided to neither annuitize nor manage 100% of your assets; which of the other retirement income strategies along the continuum would you prefer? Explain. Critique one of the strategies chosen by another student and provide an alternative strategy. NOTE: You may also support another student's chosen retirement income strategy with additional supporting evidence.
