Today's Case Conference episode is a supplement to Episodes 10 and 11 and uses several case studies to examine key subjects such as corporate bloat, tax-efficient retirement planning for high-income earners, the importance of diversifying your asset allocation, and more. For our first case, we take a step-by-step look at the decision to retain earnings in your corporation, and examine why you need to consider using some of that money for things like your personal RRSP and TFSA accounts. Our second case includes a number of examples. Using multiple simulations, we unpack how you could potentially sabotage the benefits of a corporation by letting its passive assets get too big. To wrap things up, we discuss another common temptation: the urge to transform your corporation into a tax-efficient, eligible dividend-generating powerhouse. We cover a lot in today's episode, so be sure to tune in for a deep dive on everything from addressing corporate bloat to diversifying asset allocation!
