Situation: Dad, 37, with five young children wants to retire at 42 and raise his kids on savings
Solution: Abandon the plan and work to age 60, then take early CPP and later OAS for security

SMH

edit. Maybe wait to 45 or so to grow the stache a bit more.

With this plan, family income would be $3,900 a month. This income would cover present expenses and allow a little saving

I'm so confused. The numbers work out (though without a bigger house), but the answer is still "No. Work until you're 60." What. The. Hell.
