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. I use this drawdown for two purposes: to reinvest in my non-registered accounts, and also to pass money to my three adult children (tax free in their hands). My TFSA is maximized and my income is such that I no longer qualify for OAS.

Would you please comment.

In February and early March, as is increasingly our custom, my wife Ruth and I spent five weeks in a sunny clime in order to avoid the tail end of Canada’s winter.

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.

We also wanted to learn about how Canadians are handling higher used car prices at a time when car insurance costs are climbing. Could you benefit from any of these changes or do you need to adjust your approach to buying a vehicle?
