Golden Years Postponed
CPA survey finds many Canadians living pay cheque to pay cheque, unable to save, faced with the prospect of working longer before retirement
TORONTO (September 8, 2011) – For many Canadians, the 'golden years' are now a more distant dream. They are struggling to save for retirement and to make ends meet.
According to the third annual survey of employees conducted by the Canadian Payroll Association (CPA), 40% of Canadians said they now expect to retire later than they previously planned. The primary reason (cited by 40%) was "I'm not saving enough money for retirement."
Living pay cheque to pay cheque
A major contributing factor to the low savings rate is that many Canadians are living close to the line. The CPA survey found that the majority of Canadian workers continue to live pay cheque to pay cheque, with 57% saying they would be in financial difficulty if their pay was delayed by even a week.
The numbers were even higher for younger Canadians aged 18 to 34 (63%) and single parents (74%). The regions with the highest percentage of workers living pay cheque to pay cheque were Ontario (60%) and the Atlantic provinces (64%), which may be the result of their slower recovery since the last recession.
Financial planners generally recommend that people have approximately three months of expenses (rent, mortgage, bills, groceries, etc.) as an emergency fund.
Failing to save for retirement
Almost three-quarters of employees (74%) said they have saved less than a quarter of their retirement savings goal. “This is particularly troubling when you realize that 71% of the respondents are over the age of 35, with the bulk in their main saving years between 35 and 54,” states Dianne Winsor, CPM, Chairman of the CPA.
Another significant finding – half (50%) of employees across the country reported that they are saving 5% or less of their net pay. This is well below the 10% of net pay that financial planning experts generally recommend as a retirement savings rate.
While 60% said they are trying to be better savers, more than half of these individuals reported that they have been unable to do so. The remaining 40% of Canadians said they were not even trying to save more.
West Coast (55%) and Prairie (53%) workers have been marginally better at saving; whereas single parents (71%) and single individuals (65%) have stated they have not been able to save as much.
Patrick Culhane, CPA President & CEO, noted that payroll professionals can often help employees administer a savings plan. This may include the employee directing a portion of their net pay to a separate savings account and/or into a Registered Retirement Savings Program (which reduces one’s income tax and is especially attractive if the employer matches contributions).
“Develop a savings plan, and then talk to your payroll professional about how you can administer it effectively through payroll,” Culhane urged.
How much do employees feel they’ll need to live comfortably in retirement?
Almost two-thirds (63%) felt that they would need more than $750,000. Younger people 18 to 34 are concerned they will need to save more to retire.
