“More Canadians say they simply can't afford to invest, making it tougher to build a retirement nest eggs, according to a poll released on Tuesday by Scotiabank. In the bank's annual investment poll, 64 per cent of Canadians said affordability continues to be a high barrier to investing more -- a trend that has been growing over the past couple of years -- as the March 1 registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) deadline looms, up from 59 per cent in 2011. ”http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/blogs/insight/more-canadians-t-afford-invest-112126390.html
This is the current reality not just for Canadians but for Americans and Europeans as well. More and more people find themselves in perpetual state of debt in front of the very same banks that wish for them to somehow find extra money for their retirement plans.
The sad thing is, the returns that these banks promise to pay, even with compounding, are minuscule and are not worth the monthly sacrifice for most people. This means that retirement investment plans are really affordable only for the wealthy that don’t need them in the first place. With the current state of economy the middle class and everyone bellow that line, this includes most young adults, don’t have any sensible investment opportunities that are affordable, realistic and can yield half-decent returns. OR DO THEY?
