There are two reasons why this book focuses on the higher income groups. First, they will tend to be the ones who will actually be able to save for retirement and could make use of a retirement planning book. Second, the low-income workers are already well taken care of with pensions from government programs alone, at least in Canada where the poverty rate among seniors is very low, even if they were previously low-income workers. I concede that poverty rates among seniors in the United States are much higher but this is a problem that can best be fixed by income-tested government programs, not by saving more; a solution to that problem is outside the scope of this book.

Tex V2 - 01/12/2016 10:21am Page 30 The Essential Retirement Guide Nominal versus real A nominal amount does not take inflation into account, whereas a real amount does. For example, if you spent $100 a year for 10 years on golf balls, then your spending remains the same in nominal terms but it decreases in real terms because those golf balls are getting more expensive each year due to inflation. If price inflation was 2 percent a year and you increased your spending on golf balls by 2 percent a year then your real spending remains constant.
