There’s a common belief that homeownership guarantees financial security, but a new study from the University of Calgary challenges that idea. The March 2025 Social Policy Trends study surveyed 715 Albertan seniors—both homeowners and renters—about their financial situations.

While the study examined housing insecurity more broadly, the top concern wasn’t rent—it was the cost of maintaining a home. Here’s a closer look at what’s making homeownership harder for seniors, and a practical roadmap for adapting your finances.

Homeownership no longer guarantees financial security

Owning a home is often seen as a financial safety net—especially.

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.
