Are You Prepared for the Retirement You Didn't Plan For?
On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Faisal Karmali and Leanna Wachniak explore new research revealing that many Canadians are unprepared for longer retirements and future health-care needs. Are you planning for retirement, or for the realities of growing older? Then, Kerrie Hale, Co-Chair of the Calgary Chapter of Dying With Dignity Canada, joins the show to discuss proposed federal changes to medical assistance in dying and advance requests. Next, Aled ab Iorwerth, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC, discusses why Canadian home prices have more than doubled after inflation since 2005 and what that means for homeowners and retirees. To close the show, Faisal and Leanna use Halloween candy to explore a familiar retirement dilemma: enjoy your money today or save it for tomorrow? How do you know when you've saved enough?
