Our staff did something different. We read the Budget document, called the Ministry Office for details, and added up the numbers. Then, we looked at the results as to how these proposals would affect the retired, or soon to be retired. It tired us out!
Our Report follows. We would encourage you to forward this Report to friends and family.
There is a very real need to plan for retirement comfort, even more so, with the proposals recently introduced.
We have calculated that the impact of this Liberal Budget will be more costly for Ontario seniors, than anyone has reported.
Consider a retired couple, receiving total retirement income of $41,400 after tax per year*, healthy enough to enjoy some comfort in retirement.
Many of those items used on a daily basis will now be subject to an 8% cost increase, because of the new harmonized sales tax introduced by the Liberal government in this Budget.
Look at just a few of those items that will cost more, without getting more.
- Cable TV: if $60 monthly, yearly increase is $57.60 more.
- Golf Fees: if $1,500 yearly X 2, yearly increase is $240.00 more
- Gym Membership: if $35 month X 2, yearly increase is $67.20 more.
- Hydro: if $85 monthly, yearly increase is $81.60 more.
- Haircuts: if $450 X 2 annually, yearly increase is $72.00 more.
- Heating Fuel: if $800 annually, yearly increase is $64.00 more.
- Internet: If $65 monthly, yearly increase is $62.40 more.
- Income Tax Prep. If cost is $150 X 2, yearly increase is $24.00 more.
