It started with one basket of eggs… and quickly became an office-wide operation 🐰🥚
Eggs appeared behind screens, near printers, at reception, and even beside the coffee machine — which naturally led to competitive searching, fast discoveries, and a very satisfied Easter Bunny observing the results.
Safe to say, the asset allocation worked exactly as planned.

💡 Did you know? Many Canadians aren’t sure how long their retirement savings will last.
According to a February 2026 survey by BMO, nearly 1 in 3 Canadians (30%) say they don’t know how long their money will last in retirement.
Key findings highlight growing uncertainty:
• 74% are concerned that inflation has negatively affected their ability to fund retirement
• 31% are contributing less to retirement savings to manage rising costs
• 17% have delayed saving altogether
• Only 13% believe their savings will last 30 years or more
These numbers point to a real gap in retirement planning confidence. Retirement success isn’t just about how much you save — it’s about having a plan that accounts for inflation, income needs, and longevity.
If you’re unsure whether your retirement plan is built to last, let’s have a conversation.

What looks tax-friendly on paper can cost you more in retirement.
Canadian dividend income is often seen as one of the most efficient ways to generate retirement cash flow — but the way it shows up on your tax return can affect more than just taxes.
Because even though dividends receive favourable tax treatment, they’re still grossed up when calculating net income — and that higher reported income can push retirees closer to Old Age Security clawback territory without realizing it.
That means lower tax doesn’t always equal better retirement planning.
The real goal is not just creating income — it’s understanding how that income appears, how much you actually keep, and whether government benefits stay protected along the way.

Tubing, sunshine, and a perfect Alberta winter day ☀️🛷
On Saturday, March 7, the Reynolds Financial Solutions team joined advisors and families from across our district for a fantastic afternoon at Canada Olympic Park, organized by the Southern Alberta and Rockies District Advisor Association.
With temperatures reaching +16°C, fast tubing runs, sunshine, snacks, and plenty of laughs, it felt more like spring than winter. More than anything, it was a great chance to reconnect with colleagues, enjoy time together with family, and make the most of one of those rare Alberta days that remind you how good winter can be when the sun decides to cooperate. ❄️✨

How much money do you think you need in retirement?
For many Canadians, $2,000 a month sounds like a good starting point — but the bigger question is where that income comes from and how efficiently it’s structured.
Because retirement income isn’t just about reaching a number. It’s about understanding how much capital it takes, how taxes affect what you actually keep, and whether your withdrawals are coming from the right places at the right time.
Dividend income, RRIF withdrawals, TFSA income, pensions — they don’t all work the same way once taxes enter the picture.
And over 20 or 30 years in retirement, those differences can quietly add up to far more than most people expect.
The goal isn’t just building wealth. It’s building income that lasts.
