7 Assets Safer Than Your Pension

In this episode of the AskTMFG Podcast, Carlo Cansino and John Iaconetti challenge the idea that a pension alone is the safest path to retirement. They walk through seven different assets, from TFSAs and RRIFs to real estate, GICs, annuities, life insurance, and dividend-paying stocks, and explain how each one can offer more control, flexibility, and in some cases, even more security than relying on a single pension source. The focus isn’t on replacing pensions entirely, but on building a mix of income sources you actually control, so your retirement isn’t dependent on one promise. 👉 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJuh18-uTPE  Question for our listeners: Have you realized how much of your retirement income is something you fully control? 👉 If you’d like help building a more diversified retirement strategy, we’re offering a complimentary portfolio analysis: https://tmfg.ca/portfolio-analysis/ Follow us on our social channels: LinkedIn: The McClelland Financial Group Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tmfg.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themcclellandfinancialgroup_/
