title: Managing finances for a fulfilled Canadian retirement.
abstract: Finances play an important, if not pivotal, role in a healthy retirement. Managing money, knowing where one stands financially, forecasting needs for the lifestyle of choice, are all necessary activities to leading a fulfilling happy retirement. Until the basic needs of life are met, the greater joys of socializing, esteem, and fulfillment cannot be achieved. In Canada there are pensions for seniors available according to certain requirements. Knowledge of these pensions is essential before retiring. Knowing how to evaluate one's worth and forecast future needs is necessary to achieve the anticipated retirement so frequently cherished. By planning early and managing decisions and actions effectively, an individual can ensure the best possible retirement.
