I have a question for you today. When I started this post, I was going to ask you how you would answer this question. I was going to qualify it by saying I don’t mean “world peace” or “end child poverty”. Those are huge social issues that...

I love being in this on-line space. I love the challenge; I love being able to speak to people without tapping them on the shoulder and getting in their face. I love the learning curve; I love the creative expression. I love taking a passion and putting it into words,...

You are so ready to retire – but it is some pretty serious self-talk that is going on to convince yourself you can hang in there for another five years. And that is something you just can’t say out loud. Why is that? Between you and me, just when did a...

You are so ready to retire – but there is a serious little voice in your head suggesting it may be another five to ten years yet. Why is that? How are your Mom & Dad anyways? Or in your case, maybe there is only one parent left, which really tugs on your...

You are so ready to retire… but there is some pretty serious self-talk that is going on convincing yourself you can hang in there for another five years… because you feel you have to. Why is that? I pulled a bunch of my RRSP statements right back to the early 2000s...
