@calmmoneycoach: Paying for Old Age in Canada: What It Actually Costs (and How to Fund It) Aging care in Canada doesn’t have one price. A subsidized bed runs about $25,000 a year. Round-the-clock care at home can run north of $200,000. So the real question isn’t how do I pay, it’s which one are we even talking about. Here’s the part that should lower your blood pressure: the subsidized system is income-tested. Lower income means a smaller bill, not a bigger crisis, and your home is generally protected. Whatever your situation, the toolkit is the same. The Medical Expense Tax Credit on care fees. The Disability Tax Credit, which dementia almost always qualifies for and you can claim back 10 years. And spend order, because near the GIS a dollar from your RRIF can cost you 3x what the same dollar from your TFSA does. Then the part for every single person watching, renter or owner: a will, a power of attorney for property, and one for personal care. Sign all three while you still can. The full guide and the calculator that runs your own numbers are in the Calm Money Community. Link in bio. Education, not advice. Verify your province’s numbers before you act. #PersonalFinanceCanada #RetirementPlanning #AgingParents #LongTermCare #EstatePlanning
