Edward Jones Canada and Gallup just released (2026) national research on financial fulfillment in Canada, here’s what the data shows:

• Only 12% of Canadians are financially fulfilled
• 47% feel financially conflicted, feeling both gratitude and stress about money at
the same time
• 41% are in consistent financial stress

What stands out most: in an analysis controlling for net worth, age, and other factors, professional advisors were the only source of financial guidance with a positive association with financial fulfillment. Guidance from other sources including friends, family, personal internet research, news, social media, and AI had no or negative relationships with fulfillment.

If you're not sure your money is working toward what matters to you, that's worth a conversation. Reach out, I'd love to help you.

Canadian employment data were also surprisingly strong, reversing some of the weakness in hiring this year.

Trying to predict the perfect moment to invest is tempting. But here's what history tells us: the best market days often show up during the most uncertain times, exactly when many investors are sitting on the sidelines.

Missing even a small number of strong market days over several decades can create a meaningful gap in long-term results. The challenge is that no one can consistently predict which days those will be.

This is why staying invested matters. A long-term approach allows you to participate in market growth over time, rather than risking being out of the market when opportunities emerge.

If you're unsure about staying invested or want to understand what approach fits your timeline, reach out. We can walk through it together.

When considering where to invest your hard-earned money, it's natural to wonder: should I wait for conditions to settle before investing?

This month offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and recognize the strength and resilience of Indigenous communities. Understanding the past and celebrating the present helps support a future built on respect and meaningful relationships.

Getting married or becoming common law isn’t just a personal milestone, it’s a financial one, too.

A few important money to-dos that couples often overlook:

✅ Review beneficiaries and update important documents
✅ Decide how you’ll organize accounts and manage day to day money
✅ Talk through short-term priorities and longer-term goals
✅ Understand how marriage or common law status may affect taxes and benefits

You don’t need to have every answer right away. What matters is starting the conversation and having a plan that can evolve as your life changes.

As your Edward Jones financial advisor, I can help you work through these next steps and build a plan that reflects both partners.
