S6 E04: Canada’s Aging Population

There’s no escaping the fact that the average Canadian is getting older. With Canadians aged 55 to 64 now outnumbering those aged 15 to 24, our country’s future is looking very different. If you’re wondering how this all affects your own future with respect to retirement plans, you are most definitely not alone.

Rob Carrick of the Globe and Mail is one of Canada’s most trusted and widely read financial experts, and he joins us on this episode to discuss how these changing demographics are affecting the personal finance and retirement strategies of Canadians young and old.
