Does Owning a House Secure Your Retirement?

  • Resumen

  • In this conversation Smart Prosperity Institute economist Mike Moffatt and journalist Cara Stern talk to certified financial planner and founder of the New School of Finance Shannon Lee Simmons, about saving for retirement.

    Canada’s National Institute for Aging recently did a survey of 6,000 older Canadians to find out how they feel about the prospect of retirement. The results were definitive. Most survey respondents, all of whom are 50 or older, do not feel that they are financially secure enough to be able to retire when they want to. 44 percent of them had not put away any money for retirement in the last year and another 44 per cent of the 55-65 age cohort had less than $5,000 in savings.

    Cara, Mike and Shannon dive into why that is, what role home ownership plays in saving for retirement.
