Question:

Peter Fresco, 40, is a middle school teacher earning $70,000 per year. His wife, Lyn, 40, is a staff at the retail store, earning $55,000 per year. They have an 8-year-old son, who goes to elementary school and daycare. Both intend to work until they are 65 years old, and if their spouse dies, they will continue to work at the same job and earn the same income.

The family currently spends $100,000 per year, but if one of the couples dies, the annual expenditure will fall to $80,000 per year until the child goes to university at age 18, which is 10 years from now. Once the child goes to university, he will become financially independent, and the expenses will drop to $60,000 per year.

Frescos have set up RRSP for retirement and RESP for the child’s education, but RRSP will be used to fund the surviving spouse’s retirement and RESP will be reserved for the child. They own a home but unfortunately do not have any other savings.
