For decades, Canadians were told retirement was simple:

✔ Pay off your mortgage ✔ Max out your RRSP ✔ Collect CPP and OAS ✔ Retire comfortably.

But that plan was built for a completely different Canada.

In this episode, Darren and Christina explain why inflation, taxation, government policy, and longevity are changing retirement forever—and why accumulating assets alone is no longer enough.

They break down:

• Why retirement has become a control problem instead of a savings problem
• The hidden inflation most retirees underestimate
• The RRSP "tax bet" almost nobody understands
• How government policy can completely change your retirement plan
• Why wealthy Canadians focus on flexibility instead of simply accumulating more money
• How tax diversification creates more retirement options
• Where participating whole life insurance fits into a long-term wealth strategy

If you're relying solely on traditional retirement advice, this episode may completely change how you think about building wealth.
