  • Mel

    I’m 58 and looking to retire within 5 years and am learning so much listening to your podcast. Thank you! Have you talked about someone in my situation wanting to move their mutual funded RRSP and TFSA from big bank to self directed investments never having done this on their own and deciding what ETFs are best for this stage of life. Can an RRSP go into one ETF? Perhaps a balanced ETF? Same question for a TFSA. I appreciate all the great information you offer all of us

  • Very useful information

    I read David’s first book, “The Wealthy Barber” when I was a teenager and loved the practical and useful information in it. This podcast brings information in the same way: very useful, practical, and always explained in easy to understand terms.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#72 — Leanne Kauman (Returns): Trust & Estate Planning Advice
Q: What should people consider when choosing or naming an executor?
People should ensure the executor is willing and able to perform the duties, consider naming alternates, confirm the appointment is personal to the individual, and discuss with the beneficiaries to set expectations and reduce conflicts.
#72 — Leanne Kauman (Returns): Trust & Estate Planning Advice
Q: What is the difference between a formal and an informal trust?
A formal trust is a legally recognized arrangement with a trustee, formal documentation, and obligations; an informal trust is more like earmarked funds without a true trustee, which is often not recognized by institutions due to anti-money-laundering requirements.
#72 — Leanne Kauman (Returns): Trust & Estate Planning Advice
Q: Let's start with probate. And don't laugh when I ask this basic question, what is it?
Probate is the court or government's seal of approval confirming who is appointed as executor and enabling third parties to recognize the executor's authority to handle assets, which helps avoid disputes over who should administer the estate.
#71 — Jonathan Chevreau: Lessons from Decades as a Personal Finance Author & Journalist
Q: You've talked recently about the annuity puzzle. What are your thoughts?
The hosts discuss CPP as the core government-backed annuity and emphasize delaying CPP to 70 as a practical strategy, while acknowledging that individual circumstances (like employer pensions) influence the role of annuities in retirement.
#70 — Chad Wiebe: Retirement Planning 101
Q: Are you focused primarily on pre-retirement planning and retirement planning?
Chad describes his specialty as de-accumulation—helping clients withdraw money efficiently in the years around retirement, with emphasis on planning for the 5-year window around retirement and transitioning mindsets from accumulation to spending.
