People are living longer, working later into their lives, and spending a larger portion of their lives in retirement than previous generations, says TD. For many Canadians, retirement isn’t just about leaving the workforce anymore.
“You can choose to continue working part-time, consult, volunteer, go back to school, open your own business—the sky is the limit,” says Cynthia Caskey, vice president, portfolio manager and sales manager, TD Waterhouse Private Investment Advice.
So TD asks, if the reality of retirement is changing, isn’t it time the definition changed with it?
With this in mind, TD wants Canadians to submit their own definition of retirement at www.redefineretirement.ca for a chance to win $1,000. The contest runs from September 10, 2012 to September 26, 2012. The winner will be announced the week of October 22, 2012.
