Stuck in the middle: RBC poll finds Canadians struggle to address children's education, aging parents and own retirement needs
"While Canadians may see their parents' retirement experience as a model for what to expect, the reality is that their retirement may not be the same, particularly if they are part of the sandwich generation with both aging parents and school age children," said Amalia Costa, head, Retirement Strategies, RBC. "Canadians know that juggling competing financial priorities creates enormous strain on both time and money. A financial advisor can make it easier to develop a retirement plan to balance your financial commitments and family life."
"As the economy has improved and unemployment has come down, companies, particularly smaller companies, have struggled to fill open jobs," said Ted Mallett, CFIB's chief economist and vice-president.
