Living well during your retirement means managing your retirement income wisely. When you terminate your RRSP, all the money remains sheltered from tax if you move it to a Retirement Income Option and only the money withdrawn each year is taxed for that year. A RRIF is the most flexible RIO and is best suited to people who want to make their own decisions regarding their retirement income.
