Madison is now 43 and Isaac is 45 years old. With approximately 20 years to retirement, Madison and Isaac Graham-Stanton want to establish a more aggressive investment program to accumulate funds for their long-term financial needs.

Isaac does have a retirement program a work. This money, about $110,000, is invested in various conservative mutual funds. The Graham-Stantons also established their own investment program about four years ago, and today, they have about $36,000 invested in conservative stocks and mutual funds in various RRSPs.

In addition to their investment program, the Graham-Stantons have accumulated $11,000 to help pay for the children's education. Also, they have $5,000 tucked away in a savings account that serves as the family's emergency fund. Finally, both will qualify for the Canada Pension Plan when they reach retirement age.
