Can Canadians still afford to retire, or has retirement become an impossible dream?
In this episode of TPL Media, hosts Mike Wixson and Jim Lang tackle one of the biggest financial questions facing Canadians today: Do you really have to work until you're 80, or have we been asking the wrong question all along? Drawing on personal experiences, economic realities, and changing workforce trends, Mike and Jim explore what retirement actually means in modern Canada.
The conversation examines the rising cost of living, the decline of workplace pensions, CPP and Old Age Security, retirement savings, housing affordability, and why many Canadians are choosing to work well beyond traditional retirement age. They also discuss the opportunities being created by Canada's booming skilled trades sector, the impact of AI on future careers, age discrimination in hiring, and why purpose, community, and staying active may matter even more than having millions saved in the bank.
Is the traditional image of retirement—wintering in Arizona, annual European vacations, and decades of leisure—still realistic? Or is a fulfilling retirement built around meaningful work, volunteering, family, and financial independence rather than financial abundance?
- Hosts: Jim Lang, Mike Wixson
Pillars: Economy, Happiness
Join the conversation and let us know: What does retirement look like for you? Can Canadians still retire comfortably, or has the definition of retirement changed forever?
