What does it really take to retire well? David Chilton, author of The Wealthy Barber, is about to find out firsthand. After decades of helping Canadians plan for the future, he's entering retirement himself.

In a recent episode of The Hart of It All, he talks with Teri Hart about what those years really require. He shares his family's experience navigating his 93-year-old father's dementia and long-term care, and why so many Canadians assume the government will fully cover future care costs.

The conversation reinforces something I discuss with clients often: longevity planning matters. A longer life means planning for the longer run, with a focus on financial, physical, cognitive, and social wellness, along with honest family conversations before a crisis forces rushed decisions.
