I am in my 91st year and for my age, in reasonably good health. I drew down a significant extra sum in 2025 from my RRIF. Fortunately, due to some good earlier decisions, my RRIF remains with a very strong market value.

My TFSA is maximized and my income is such that I no longer qualify for OAS.

Would you please comment.

The state of the Canadian used car market: Trends, insurance, and the true cost of ownership

If you’ve been watching used car prices over the past year, you’re probably wondering if they’ll keep accelerating. Before you make a plan to trade in your vehicle or decide how much of a down payment to make, take a moment to anticipate what’s going on in the used car market this year.
