  • 4 Retirement Stats That Should Make You Pay Attention
    Jan 22 2026

    In this episode, we dive deep into retirement planning statistics that might surprise you—and hopefully motivate you to take action. We break down the numbers, share personal stories, and give you practical steps to start preparing for your future, no matter what stage of life you're in.

    Key Takeaways
    1. Start where you are: Even if you're past the "ideal" window for compounding, taking action now is better than waiting

    2. Know your numbers: Understand what government benefits you'll actually receive

    3. Review your spending: Track where your money goes—especially dining out

    4. Think long-term: You're likely to live longer than previous generations planned for

    5. Get professional help: This isn't your specialty, and that's okay

    Action Steps
    • Review your current retirement savings and projections

    • Calculate your expected CPP and OAS benefits

    • Analyze 3 months of spending to find financial leaks

    • Consider insurance as part of your investment strategy

    • Have honest conversations with your partner about retirement goals

    Resources Mentioned
    • Statistics Canada retirement data (2022-2025)

    • The Latte Factor by David Bach

    • Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter

    • The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel

  • Your Biggest Financial Leaks
    Jan 15 2026
    In this episode, we're getting real about money leaks—those sneaky daily and weekly expenses that drain your bank account without you even realizing it. We've been there, done that, and learned the hard way, so we're sharing what we discovered through our own financial journey. Key Moments: Daily & Weekly Money Leaks: Coffee runs and eating out for lunch (we're talking $15-20/day adds up FAST) Impulse buys at gas stations and grocery stores Parking tickets (seriously, just pay the $2 instead of risking a $30 fine) Food delivery fees and tipping on top Grocery shopping without a plan—we used to waste so much food! Subscriptions & Tech: Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Spotify, Apple Music (we literally just realized we were both paying for music services separately!) Gym memberships that never get used (1/3 of gym members are basically donating their money) App subscriptions you forgot about Phone plans that need annual reviews The Big Ones: Vehicles (Chris's hot take: buying brand new is the worst financial decision—you lose 30% the second you drive off the lot) Online shopping and the dopamine hit of "deals" Beauty products and salon services Clothing trends vs. thrift shopping Chapters: 2:45 - Daily Coffee & Lunch Leaks 8:20 - Grocery Shopping Without a Plan 14:15 - Subscriptions Eating Your Budget 20:30 - The Vehicle Money Trap 26:45 - Our Financial Breaking Point 33:10 - The Year of Monthly Money Meetings 36:50 - Teaching Kids About Money Let's dive in!
