Your investments had one job while you were working. Retirement changes that.

Once the employment paycheque stops, your portfolio may need to help fund your lifestyle for decades to come.

In Episode 90, Michael explores why the money you need next year may need to be invested differently from the money you won’t need for another 15 years.

Your retirement investments need a new job.

The portfolio that helped you accumulate wealth may need to work differently once you're relying on it for income.

✓ Why retirement investing should begin with future spending
✓ How target-date bonds can fit into an income strategy

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from Retiring Canada.

Thanksgiving is a reminder that retirement success isn't measured by account balances alone.

It's measured by the moments that matter:

🍂 Family gatherings
🍂 Meaningful friendships
🍂 Good health
🍂 The freedom to choose how you spend your time

A well-built retirement plan helps support the life you want to live, but the real reward is being able to enjoy the people and experiences you've worked so hard for.

From our team to your family, we wish you a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.

What are you most thankful for this year? 🍁

10/09/2026

🍂 As we head into the Thanksgiving long weekend, here's a question worth thinking about:

What are you grateful for that money can't buy?

For many retirees, the answer is time.

Time with family. Time with grandchildren. Time to travel. Time to enjoy a slower pace of life.

Financial planning isn't just about growing wealth. It's about creating the freedom to spend your time on what matters most.

Whether you're gathering around the dinner table, heading to the lake, or enjoying a quiet weekend at home, we hope you take a moment to appreciate the people and experiences that make life meaningful.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. 🍁

One of the biggest mistakes I see retirees make is treating these decisions separately.

Your investment portfolio should support your withdrawals. Your withdrawals should support your tax strategy. And your tax strategy should support your long-term retirement goals.

When everything works together, better decisions become easier to make.

That's one of the key themes we discuss in Episode 89 of Retiring Canada.

10/06/2026

Should you take your RRIF withdrawals monthly, or wait until the end of the year?

The answer depends on your income needs, investments, taxes, and overall retirement plan.

Episode 89: Fall Tax Planning for Retirees in 2026 explores this question alongside unused capital losses, TFSA overcontributions, CRA tax payments, and the challenges of coordinating accounts held with multiple advisors.
