Are you racing to optimize your investments before figuring out if you’re even on track for retirement?

Many Canadians jump straight into strategies like the Smith Maneuver, tax efficiency, and leveraging — but skip the most critical question: What do I actually need to retire on my terms? This episode tackles the foundational work you must do before fine-tuning your wealth plan, so you don't optimize yourself into a shortfall.

By listening, you'll discover:

  • Why your “vision number” is more important than which spouse holds the investment
  • A simple way to reverse-engineer your retirement timeline based on what you already have
  • How to calculate whether your current strategy is enough — or needs a total rethink

Before you tweak another investment detail, hit play to learn how to build a retirement-ready plan that actually works.

Discover which phase of wealth creation you are in. Take our quick assessment and you’ll receive a custom wealth-building pathway that matches your phase and learn our CRA compliant tax optimized strategies. Take that assessment here.
