Taxes
Let’s face it. The world is set up for couples. From Noah’s Ark to Bumble, it’s all about pairing up. Sure, there are benefits to staying single, like sleeping on whatever side of the bed you fancy, but added financial security isn’t one of them. For singletons, few things are as annoying as “smug marrieds.” Not only do these couples flaunt their cozy togetherness, but they get access to financial perks only available to twosomes.
Ellen Roseman speaks to Fred Vettese, author of "Retirement Income For Life; Getting More Without Saving More", 3rd Edition. They talk about Old Age Security, the Canada Pension Plan, attitudes around retirement and the fear of outlasting your nest egg.
