On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Rob Gerrie and Leanna Wachniak discuss why many retirees struggle to spend their savings, even when they can afford to.
Then, divorce and family lawyer Russell Alexander explains the financial realities of a “silent divorce,” when a marriage gradually comes apart without a major conflict.
Next, Esme Fuller-Thomson from the University of Toronto explores how returning to school later in life can support brain health and help retirees build new social connections.
To close the show, Rob and Leanna discuss the often-overlooked first 90 days of retirement, particularly for Alberta tradespeople whose work provided routine, purpose, and community.
