Life expectancy is one of the most misunderstood aspects of retirement income planning—yet，it is one of the most important factors.Most people assume that life expectancy is the same as lifespan(寿命).This is not correct.Instead，life expectancy is a medium number of years—such that 50 percent of a particular age group will die before this number of years，and the other 50 percent will die after this period. How you save for retirement is also important.What you care about in retirement is how much income you have after tax and after inflation.You want to know what life­style you can maintain in retirement. If you saved for retirement only using registered retirement savings plan(RRSP)，you will need a larger account balance，as every dollar that you redeem from an RRSP is fully taxable(纳税的) while funds withdrawn from a tax­free savings account (TFSA) are free of tax.And if you were lucky enough to save funds outside these structures，only the earnings on these funds are taxable. Government pension rights are important in retirement income planning.Old Age Security(OAS) offers up to $569 a month and the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) gives a maximum of $1，065 a month.The average right for new beneficiaries is $640 a month. But let's look at this from another point of view.When you retire，one of the greatest risks that you have is running out of money.If you can maintain your lifestyle on your personal investment，then delaying the start of your CPP pension can be viewed as a version of longevity insurance(保险).
