Breaking down the common fear of retirement: it’s not about hitting a magic number, but understanding what your real life costs.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the seemingly endless questions — How much do I need? Will I have enough? — this episode offers a fresh perspective.
Retirement isn’t funded by headlines or arbitrary targets. It’s funded by your actual life — your spending, your priorities, your choices.
Glory Gray revisits the essential mindset shift that transforms retirement planning from stressful guesswork into a clear, empowering process.
She reveals why focusing solely on a dollar amount misses the point, and how a small change in language — replacing “budget” with a mindset of control — can change everything.
With specific tools like the 4% rule, she shows how to develop a realistic, flexible plan that adapts as your life evolves. Accuracy and clarity matter more than perfection, especially when retirement is just around the corner.
You’ll discover:
This is essential listening if you want to make smarter, more confident decisions about your retirement — no more guessing, no more comparison.
Get clarity now, so you can live your retirement on your terms.
If you're serious about turning financial stress into empowerment, this episode is a must.
Glory Gray is a Canadian wealth manager focused on helping Canadian women craft a retirement plan aligned with their real lives, not headlines. With her straightforward approach, she proves that feeling in control is the best investment you can make.
Perfect for women approaching retirement, those feeling overwhelmed by the numbers, or anyone ready to redefine what financial security truly means. Take control of your future today — your real life is worth it.

Too many Canadians don’t have a financial plan. That’s what a recent FP Canada report found.
Only 25 per cent of Canadians are working with a financial advisor and 30 per cent of those surveyed say they don't have a financial plan at all.
Interestingly, younger people are more likely to say they don't have a financial plan but wish they did.
What caught my eye about this survey is that Canadians don’t even agree on what a financial plan is. Some think it is an investment plan, that is, a plan for what types of investments you’ll put money into. Other people think a financial plan is a written plan that shows where you are today when it comes to your financial circumstances, where you plan to be tomorrow and how you’ll get there. That definition is closer to the truth.
A financial plan looks at the big picture. It helps you set short-term and long-term financial goals and identify steps to achieving them. In this episode, we look at:
Financial Planning
What Your Plan Should Include
How a Plan Can Help You
Why You Might Not Already Have a Plan
And most importantly ... how to get one!

Welcome to the Women's Wealth Canada podcast, where we discuss everything related to government retirement benefits in Canada. In this episode, Glory Gray discusses everything you need to know about the Canadian Pension Plan or CPP, Old Age Security or OAS, and the Guaranteed Income Supplement or GIS.
In this episode, she will give an overview of both CPP and OAS, including how they are funded, what the maximum benefit amount is, and some of the advantages and disadvantages of starting CPP early or delaying it until 70 for an 8.4% guaranteed return. She'll also cover when OAS can be taken and the additional benefits of delaying it after 65.
She includes a brief overview of CPP and OAS.
The Canadian Pension Plan is a mandatory benefit for all working Canadians aged 18 or older. You contribute to this plan throughout your working years, and when you retire, you receive monthly payments based on your contributions. The amount you receive depends on factors such as the number of years you contributed, your average earnings, and your age when you start receiving payments.
On the other hand, Old Age Security is a benefit that is available to all Canadians aged 65 or older, regardless of whether they worked or not. Unlike CPP, you do not need to contribute to OAS, but the amount you receive is based on the number of years you lived in Canada after the age of 18.
She dives into some of the advantages and disadvantages of starting CPP early or delaying it until 70. Delaying CPP can result in a higher benefit amount, but it may not always be the best option for everyone. We'll explore different scenarios and help you determine what might be best for you. She will also discuss the basics of when OAS can be taken and the additional benefits of delaying it after 65. Delaying OAS can result in a higher benefit amount as well, and we'll explore whether this is a good strategy for you.
And what about a Guaranteed Income Supplement or GIS and how it provides additional support for lower-income retirees. She dives into the eligibility requirements and how to apply for this benefit.
So, if you're ready to learn everything you need to know about CPP, OAS, and GIS, be sure to tune in. Don't forget to download, subscribe, and share with your friends and family who may also benefit from this information.
PS - We are taking a summer break after this episode. See you in September!

As you make plans for retirement, it's important to remember that your health and lifestyle needs may change over time.
One of the first things you'll need to do is to prepare a financial plan when meeting with a financial planner. This will give you an idea of your cash flow requirements over the years for the rest of your life. You'll need to know how much money is coming in and going out each year and whether you have enough saved to make it all work.
Research shows that expenses in our 60s are typically higher than they are in our 80s and beyond. During our 60s and 70s, we may be traveling more, visiting our grandchildren, and ticking things off our bucket list. Travel health insurance premiums typically increase with age, making traveling harder in our 80s and beyond.
As we reach our 80s, out-of-pocket healthcare costs tend to increase, which is why many people prefer to stay at home more often. In-home care is available, and it's necessary to start gathering information about available services near you. Assisted living facilities can also be similar to being on a cruise, and they provide a great deal of activities and a strong social element.
It's essential to maintain your physical, emotional, and spiritual health in retirement, along with your financial freedom. Finding an activity that you enjoy, preferably with a social element, is essential for good health as we age. Purpose is also a deep driver of well-being, and knowing what you value is the best place to start. An exercise to try is to answer the following three questions for a week:
what you need more of in your life:
what are 10 things you're grateful for today, and
what are five words that describe you best and why.
After a week, you'll be able to see some patterns and start focusing on doing things that are important to you to have a happy retirement.
Remember, as you adapt your home to fit your needs and preferences, you'll be able to stay in it for longer. The longer you can adapt your home, the more comfortable you'll be in it. Planning for changes in your health and lifestyle may seem complicated, but with the right tools and preparations, you can be comfortable in your retirement years.

In this episode of the Women's Wealth Canada Podcast, we sit down with Jennifer Leach Sandford, a lawyer specializing in wills and estates. Jennifer shares valuable insight into the importance of having a will in place and when is the best time to prepare one, especially if you have a health diagnosis that may lead to progressive illness.
We also delve into the differences between a will, power of attorney, and healthcare directives. While a will provides instructions for the distribution of your assets after you die, power of attorney and healthcare directives come into play when you lose capacity. Your healthcare representative and personal care representative make decisions on your behalf, such as whether you're going into long-term care, while the power of attorney controls the administration of your assets.
Jennifer also shares some fascinating stories of cases where wills were challenged, and why it's essential to work with a lawyer who ensures the individual giving the instructions has the necessary capacity.
Don't miss this informative episode where you'll learn everything you need to know about estate planning. So, sit back, relax, and listen to the end to discover how you can protect your future and your loved ones. 💡💼💰

Welcome to "Simple Estate Planning for Everyone," where we break down the complexities of estate planning so that everyone can understand and take control of their future.
Our guest Jennifer explains that a will is a document expressing an individual's wishes about what happens to their assets after their death, and it can be changed as long as the person has the capacity to make rational decisions. We also dive into planning techniques that can be used to ensure that one's wishes and instructions are met.
Did you know that if someone dies without a will, their assets are distributed based on provincial laws, which may not include relatives outside of certain degrees of separation? We discuss why it's important to have a will in place and how online will kits and paper wills may not always be the best option for more complicated estates.
Finally, we talk about when it may be necessary to review your will such as when life circumstances change like marriage or divorce, receiving an inheritance, or moving provinces. Tune in for all this and more!

Just this week the news broke about investment powerhouse JP Morgan falling prey to a scam as it invested millions of dollars in a scam business called Frank, a college financial planning platform.
It seems appropriate that we are looking at ways that you can protect yourself from investment scams. We will look at Ponzi schemes including the Madoff Plan (did you know actor Kevin Bacon got caught in that one) as well as several lesser known schemes and share some practical and tactical tips on staying aware and protecting your finances.
(BTW - it's the 20th anniversary of Internet Security Day today - a good day to be thinking about ways to stay safe online)

This week I am focusing on TFSA's and clearing up some common misunderstandings to help you ensure you maximize the benefits you achieve from your investment portfolio.
One of the most common questions I get as a wealth advisor is: “Which type of retirement account should I put my money into…an RRSP, which is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, or a TFSA, which is a Tax Free Savings Account?
Which one should you put your money into? Here's what you need to know to make the right decision for you:
Realize a TFSA is an investment account, not a savings account.
Use your TFSA is for any windfalls you may receive
Keep track of your contributions and withdrawals
Understand the residency requirements
Make your spouse a successor holder, not a beneficiary
Resources
How do your TFSA contributions compare to other Canadians your age?

Earlier this season, I shared with you a few life stories of my clients. These are women who have gracefully navigated life and used their wealth as tools for living a beautiful life.
But I'll bet there are some things they wish they had told their younger selves. And if they had shared this wisdom with the younger selves, maybe they would have gotten farther ahead in their goals. Or maybe they just would have done things differently.
Here to talk about that subject is Lisa Hannam. Lisa is the Executive Editor of MoneySense Magazine. Lisa has been a leading force in the success of the financial magazine with her effective financial advice and her quick ability to pick up on stories that provide real value to Canadians.
Lisa is one of those individuals who was ahead of the game. She was an active saver in her 20s. But even she would have done a few things differently. Come and listen in as Lisa and I talk about "What I Wish I had told my 20-year-old Self About Money?"
