On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Leanna Wachniak and Dave Popowich tackle one of the biggest retirement questions Canadians are asking right now: how much money do you actually need to retire today?

They’re then joined by Dr. Michelle Maroto, Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta, to explore why financial insecurity can persist even for affluent retirees, including those who look financially “set” on paper.

Next, Tony Chapman, marketing and branding expert and founder of Chatter That Matters. Joins the conversation to discuss a common gap in retirement planning: many people prepare financially, but few prepare for what day-to-day life and identity look like once work ends.

To close, Leanna and Dave break down a timely debate: “Divided Over Dividends.” Dividends can feel predictable, but if you rely on them too heavily, could they end up splitting your retirement plan in the wrong direction?
