The book is a little bit out of date, but considering how little there is out there about RRIFs and LIFs it is still a good idea to read this. Not many people even know they have to convert their RRSP into a RRIF... they should know!

Very important book for older Canadian's. It discusses the choice of retirement vehicles that must be opened prior to the age of 71. The book was published in 2002 so a newer up to date version should be purchased, Regard as a reference book that you will constantly refer to . Definitely recommended. Full of important information for your retirement.
