As an engineer and financial analyst, the Canada Pension Plan appeals to me for two reasons: 1. Going in (your contributions) you don't get a choice, but coming out (your retirement pension) there are many options to decide among - this means there are plenty of opportunities to optimize for your own personal situation. I enjoy figuring that out. 2. I enjoy simplifying complex things for better understanding - that's why I started making animated videos that show people how CPP rules work - without the complex math! The Canada Pension Plan is underutilized - I want to change that. My Canada Pension Plan animated videos simplify the complexity about the CPP by using analogies and creative visuals.
