Now more than ever, during these uncertain times in the markets, it’s not always easy for young Canadians to have enough to save and put aside. But research shows that young people do have important financial goals, like buying their first home, planning for retirement, and travelling. So what is holding them back from achieving these goals? And how can we help young people build strong financial habits early on in their investment journey? On this episode, we turn to personal finance columnist, Rob Carrick, who joins the show to share investing lessons from his storied career. Rob spent 27 years as a columnist for the Globe and Mail before retiring earlier this year. He’s seen the markets through many ups and downs and has helped many Canadians along the way. We find out what his top investing lessons are from nearly three decades of reporting—and why he believes at this moment in time “financial advice could be the best it’s ever been.”
