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.

When you work with a financial advisor, understanding what you’re getting for your fees is important.

Can you answer these three questions?

1) Do you know exactly what you're paying for investment guidance?
2) Are the services you're receiving truly worth those fees?
3) Do you feel confident you’re on track to reach your financial goals?

If even one of those gave you pause, you're not alone. Investors at every stage deserve clarity, not just on what you pay, but on the full scope of support behind every decision. That means estate-planning access, tax-strategy guidance, and advice that's genuinely aligned with where you're headed.

I'm offering a complimentary second opinion on your portfolio — no pressure, no obligation. Just a fresh set of eyes from someone who believes your idea of confident, transparent wealth management starts with the right conversation.
