"The Retirement Gap". Why Retirement Is Not What You Think...

In this episode of the AskTMFG Podcast, Carlo Cansino and John Iaconetti explore why so many financially prepared Canadians still feel disappointed in retirement, a pattern they call the retirement disappointment gap. They dig into the psychological side of retirement that most planning ignores: loss of identity and structure after leaving work, how Canadian winters can deepen isolation, and how big life shifts (like sudden togetherness with a spouse, or losing one) reshape retirement in ways money alone can't fix. They also lay out a five-part framework, building a "purpose portfolio," easing into retirement gradually, and prioritizing community, for a retirement that's financially secure and genuinely fulfilling. 👉 Watch the full episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuJEQICrarw  Question for our listeners: Are you planning for the money in retirement, or for what you'll actually do with your time? 👉 Complimentary portfolio analysis: https://tmfg.ca/portfolio-analysis/ Follow us: LinkedIn: The McClelland Financial Group Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tmfg.ca Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themcclellandfinancialgroup_/
