At the 18:30 mark, Stuart Gray, Director RBC Financial Planning Centre of Expertise, joins for the Take 5 With RBC segment to discuss financial and estate planning. Considering that 25 per cent of Canadians who are 60 today can expect to reach the age of 98, Gray chats about the need to manage age-related issues and costs during a longer retirement. And, with 83 per cent of Canadians wanting to stay in their homes as they age, he urges listeners to consider the costs of home care and to sit down with a financial planner to make sure the financial impacts of all health care choices are considered.
