As Labour Day weekend arrives, I’m taking a moment to appreciate the simple luxuries of life — slow mornings, meaningful conversations, good company, and time spent with the people who matter most.
There is something special about being able to step away from the everyday and simply be present.
Wishing you a beautiful long weekend filled with time well spent, memories worth keeping, and a little extra time for yourself.

Three mistakes to avoid when planning retirement:
1. Claiming too early: when you claim too early, you could reduce your benefits. Waiting to claim can increase monthly benefit. The right time to claim depends on your health, income needs and overall strategy.
2. Ignoring health care: Healthcare costs are not all covered and those out-of-pocket expenses can really affect your retirement income.
3. Poor tax planning: How and when you draw from your accounts can affect your taxable income and keep away some benefits.
The goal isn’t to simply have enough money- it is to create a strategy that helps your money last and to give you the retirement you deserve.
