On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak look at news stories affecting retirement, including a Statistics Canada discussion about nearly 1.2 million Canadians aged 65 and older are working or looking for work. They also discuss Robert Kiyosaki’s warning about U.S. boomers and explain why retirees should be careful not to get caught up in dramatic headlines. Then, Jim Stanford, Economist and Director at the Centre for Future Work, joins the show to break down Prime Minister Mark Carney’s proposed $25 billion Canada Strong Fund and what it could mean for Canadians and retirees. Next, Dr. Lorne Tyrrell, Professor of Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Alberta, explains what Canadians should know about hantavirus. To close the show, Dave and Leanna walk through a fictional retired couple and how they would approach building a retirement plan around their goals, risks, and future decisions.
