rrsps have options econoakbtstribju february 26 1986 reh 111 the whole idea behind a registered retirement savings plan is to provide you with steady income once your plan matures which it does the day you turn 60 this doesnt mean you must retire at 60 it simply means that you now have a few options as to what you want to do with the funds in your plan of course you can leave your rrsp intact and go on making contributions right up to the end of the year you turn 71 but if you still havent converted your plan by that time your options run out this means youll have to take the whole thing in a lump sum and pay tax on it right away so thats a situation you may very well want to avoid now about your options when your rrsp matures you can use the funds to buy one of three things a life annuity a term certain annuity or a registered retirement income fund rrif or you can buy an combination of those three its up to you life annuity this can only be purch ased from a life insurance company the term may be for your life only straight life or for the joint lives of you and your spouse joint and last survivor with or without a guaranteed term this guarantee can be any number of years you choose but can not exceed in years 90 minus the age of the younger spouse the longer the guaranteed term of course the lower the annuity payments will be term certain annuity this general ly pays more than the life annuity ev erything else being equal but as with any annuity the shorter the term the higher the annuity payments you re ceive you can buy this type of annuity from a life

all as the name suggests its a fund these too are available through trust and insurance companies and credit unions here again a rrif can only be set up between the ages of 60 and 71 and the maximum term in years can not exceed 90 minus the youn ger spouses age rrif payouts are based on a specified fraction of the total fund each year for example if you set up a rrif at the age of 60 this means it has 30 years to run so the first year you get l30th of the total fund the second year v49th the third year v48th and so on until the fund is exhausted by the end of your 90th year but no matter
