Wedding Season!

Posted on: August 10, 2015

By the time you get this, I will already be in Saskatchewan seeing some clients there and spending some time at the lake. It’s been a very busy summer and I’ve been on the road quite a bit.

Two very close friends are getting married this September and I’m a groomsman in both of their weddings. The girls and I will leave town a couple of times (they’ll be carrying out flower girl duties) and of course, I had to be a part of some stag parties… Things won’t slow down until October but we’ll have some fun until then!

Retirement: The Promised Land or Crushing Boredom?

Posted on: August 10, 2015

For years, you have been anticipating that last day at work. When it finally arrives, will it live up to your expectations?

Retirement looks different in everyone’s imagination. For some, it means never wearing a tie again – for any reason. For others, it means traveling the world in designer clothes while attending fancy social events or elaborate musical performances. Some might envision it as a poolside chair with a cold glass of lemonade that never runs out.

While the lemonade may be in unlimited supply, your attention span is not. What happens if you get bored?

Redefining Retirement

Posted on: July 13, 2015

Retirement used to mean a gold watch, a pension and spending time on hobbies or new pastimes. For some this may still be true, but times have changed and there are new realities that will affect how retirement will look in the future.

The largest segment of the population in Canada today, the "Baby Boomers", started retiring in large numbers a few years ago. Those born in 1947 are considered the first Baby Boomers and they reached age 65 back in 2012. Many were in position to retire immediately while some of their peers have had to postpone or scale back their retirement plans.
