Just think about it, if you plan to withdraw at age 60, now its been moved back to 62, and possible 65 and then 68 .... So how does one plan for one's retirement with the government moving the goal post every now and then. This is particularly frustrating for people who are able to save and already have a retirement plan in place. So I will not contribute to SRS. thanks for the post, initially I thought the SRS was a good scheme (particularly in saving of taxes). but with the change in retirement age and the possibility of further movement; I just think that has introduced a certain level of uncertainty to our lives.
