On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Faisal Karmali and Leanna Wachniak explore the role health and health care planning can play in retirement. They begin with a notable Statistics Canada finding: Canada’s population is aging, with more Canadians now 65 and older, raising important questions about what that means for retirement planning. Then, Dr. Michael Antle, Department Head and Professor of Psychology at the University of Calgary, joins the show to discuss Alberta’s plan to make daylight saving time permanent and how that change could affect retirees. Next, Dr. Samir Sinha, Director of Health Policy Research at the National Institute on Ageing, breaks down a new study on shingles and why it remains a costly and often overlooked health risk for older Canadians. To close the show, Faisal and Leanna explain PKAG’s “health bucket” strategy and why planning for a possible health event should be part of a retirement plan.
