Many people assume Canada's suburbs are destined to decline as Baby Boomers age and younger generations embrace urban living. But does the data actually support that?In this episode of DemograFix, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt examine new Statistics Canada research on how immigrants' housing choices evolve over time. While most newcomers begin as renters in urban centres, the data shows many transition into homeownership, including family-sized homes in the suburbs, as they build their lives in Canada.They also test this prediction against several scenarios that could prove it wrong, including lower immigration, more family-sized housing in cities, rising emigration, and changing housing preferences.Chapters:00:00 Why Everyone Got the Future of the Suburbs Wrong00:27 Do Immigrants Actually Want Suburban Homes?01:54 Why Newcomers Rent First—Then Buy Houses04:33 Are Immigrants Buying Condos or Single-Family Homes?06:56 Why Immigration Policy Shapes Housing Demand08:03 Will Baby Boomers Flood the Market With Homes?09:13 What Could Kill Demand for the Canadian Suburb?10:28 Could Better Cities Replace the Suburbs?12:04 Will Young Canadians Leave Instead of Buying Homes?13:09 Is the Dream of a House With a Backyard Dying?14:21 Does Canada's Housing Market Still Attract Immigrants?17:54 Why People Buy Homes Even When It's a Bad Investment19:15 The Housing Lesson Policymakers Keep MissingResearch/links:Housing use of immigrants and non-permanent residents in ownership and rental markets https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2025005/article/00003-eng.htmThe homeownership trajectories of recent immigrantshttps://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/46-28-0001/2026001/article/00002-eng.htmCredits:Mike Moffatt https://twitter.com/MikePMoffatthttps://bsky.app/profile/mikepmoffatt.bsky.socialCara Stern https://x.com/carasternhttps://bsky.app/profile/carastern.bsky.socialMeredith Martin https://twitter.com/meredithmartinhttps://bsky.app/profile/meredithmartin.bsky.socialSean Foreman@seanegertonforemanhttps://bsky.app/profile/seanforeman.bsky.socialCo-op StudentKelly HobanHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinFunded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/

Podcast Episode Description "A successful exit isn't about leaving your business. It's about leaving the world a better place after you leave it." Host Laurie Barkman welcomes back Scott Snider, President of the Exit Planning Institute — the organization behind the Certified Exit Planning Advisor designation and the Value Acceleration Methodology — for a return conversation four years in the making.  Since their last episode in 2022, EPI has grown from 3,000 to 11,000 CEPAs, Scott has navigated his own leadership succession from his father Chris, and the exit planning profession has undergone one of its most significant evolutions yet.  Scott and Laurie unpack what has changed — and what hasn't — about how business owners think about exit planning, why personal planning remains the weakest leg of the stool, and why exit strategy and business strategy are not two separate conversations. Key Insights: The leadership transformation nobody talks about is the internal one. Scott went from a militant, gritty leadership style — forged running a landscape construction company — to leading a 56-person team of highly educated, motivated professionals who needed to be led completely differently. His biggest surprise? Discovering he was capable of leading with empathy, grace, and love. The style that built his first business would have destroyed this one. Decades of success does not equal transferable value. Business owners can have profitable products, great people, loyal customers, and a lifestyle they love — and still have nothing a buyer actually wants. Scott draws a sharp line between income and value, between success and significance. The gap between the two is exactly why exit planning exists — and exactly why owners keep kicking the can. Baby Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials are asking completely different exit questions. Baby Boomers — who own 51% of privately held companies at an average age of 67 — are navigating a 50-year identity crisis. Gen Xers want out early so they can actually live, with 38% between 45 and 59 planning to exit earlier than their predecessors. And Millennials have grown up inside value acceleration thinking — they're already building to sell. Personal planning is still the weakest leg of the stool — and that needs to change. Despite all the evolution in exit planning since 2005, personal planning remains the area most business owners defer, dismiss, or avoid entirely. Scott's challenge to the profession: stop treating it as the soft stuff. Who am I with and without my business is the most important question a founder can answer — and most never do. Exit strategy and business strategy are the same conversation. Every decision a business owner makes today is already affecting their future exit value. Scott reframes the entire conversation: instead of positioning exit planning as something you do when you're ready to leave, position it as what makes your business stronger, more financeable, and more valuable right now. The foot in the door is helping owners grow a better company — the exit conversation follows naturally. The profession is growing — but awareness is still the biggest gap. With 11,000 CEPAs and a path to 20,000, EPI's CEPA credential could become the second largest professional credential in the country. But even at 20,000, it would still be a fraction of the 250,000 CFPs. The next five years are about activation — helping advisors start the conversation with owners earlier, and meeting owners where they are before a triggering event forces their hand.

Buying a home, building good credit, preparing for retirement, and navigating the markets all require looking beyond today's headlines. Shanna Squires of Henssler Mortgage Advisors joins us to explain what actually happens during the mortgage process — from pre-approval to closing — including why pre-approval may not always be what you can afford, why lenders ask for so much documentation, and how your mortgage lender should be working with you every step of the way  before getting the keys.After the break, we also explore the growing divide in consumer credit, as more Americans achieve top-tier credit scores while others struggle with record credit card balances and how it mirrors our K-shaped economy.We examine the changing realities of retirement as more Baby Boomers choose to upsize instead of downsize, reflecting a shift toward multigenerational living, entertaining, and homes designed to support aging in place.We close with a look at the latest earnings season, why investors are becoming more selective about companies' AI spending, and whether the other 493 companies in the S&P 500 can help broaden market leadership. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C.

62% of Gen X adults have zero estate planning documents — a higher rate than Gen Z, Millennials, or Baby Boomers. The generation carrying the most financial complexity is the least protected, and almost nobody is saying it out loud.In this episode, Nathan Croxford and Taylor Stone break down the four pressures hitting Gen X at the same time: supporting aging parents and kids simultaneously, inheriting IRAs under a brutal new 10-year distribution rule, approaching the biggest business exit of their lives, and doing all of it with outdated or nonexistent plans. They make the case for why right now — at peak earning and peak complexity — is the moment to actually build one.Key Takeaways:The Sandwich Squeeze: Why nearly half of adults in their 40s and 50s are supporting an aging parent and a child at the same time — and what happens when neither generation has the right documents in place.The Inherited IRA Time Bomb: How the SECURE Act's 10-year rule replaced the old "stretch IRA," and why inheriting a retirement account during peak earning years can push every dollar into the highest tax bracket.The Business Exit Window: How a $2–10M business sale can trigger $400K–$2M+ in taxes without pre-exit planning — and why the strategy has to start years before the sale, not after.The Outdated Plan Problem: Why a trust from 2011 with beneficiaries from when the kids were toddlers can be just as dangerous as having no plan at all.Nathan Croxford and Taylor Stone are practicing attorneys at Voyant Legal in Utah.

What if the strongest people you know are also carrying the heaviest burdens? Many women have spent decades holding families together, leading at work, caring for aging parents, supporting spouses, raising children, and showing up for everyone else. Somewhere along the way, they learned to hide their grief, disappointment, exhaustion, and heartbreak behind competence. In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. mOe Anderson welcomes fantasy author Justin Anderson (J. Vaelorin) to explore why so many women suffer silently, how grief changes us without defining us, and why storytelling can become a powerful form of emotional healing. Raised by remarkable women without a consistent father figure, Justin shares how his mother, sister, and grandmother shaped not only the man he became but also the compassionate writer he is today. His dark fantasy novels are more than entertainment—they're a therapeutic space where readers can safely confront grief, resilience, and hope. One of the most touching moments in this conversation is learning that Justin read Dr. mOe Anderson's personal HuffPost essay about living with cancer and was inspired to write the beautiful narrated piece "A Thread Pulled Too Tight," honoring the invisible emotional burdens carried by so many women. We encourage you to experience it yourself: https://vaelorinverse.com/a-thread-pulled-too-tight/ Whether you've experienced loss, caregiver fatigue, career disappointment, divorce, illness, or simply the quiet weight of always being "the strong one," this episode offers permission to acknowledge your pain while remembering Justin's powerful reminder:   "We are not broken." In this episode you'll discover: Why strong women often don't feel safe grieving openly The surprising connection between fantasy fiction and emotional healing Why different professions process grief differently Why more Baby Boomer women are embracing fantasy fiction How storytelling can help us process emotions we struggle to express The meaning behind Justin's life philosophy: We are not broken Memorable Quotes "We're not broken. We're being forged." "Fantasy doesn't help us escape reality. Sometimes it helps us finally face it." About Justin Anderson Justin Anderson writes dark fantasy under the pen name J. Vaelorin, creating stories that blend grief, hope, resilience, and healing into immersive fantasy worlds. His writing explores emotional truths through imaginative storytelling, helping readers recognize that life's deepest wounds can become sources of strength.

Noraly verloor een ring die ze van Joost kreeg. Roos is ongeveer dagelijks haar leesbril kwijt. En Eva, die vroeger álles verloor, organiseerde haar huis zo dat zelfs haar rommella geen rommella meer is. Maar de grootste dingen die je kunt kwijtraken, passen niet in een laatje. Noraly vertelt dat ze veel is kwijtgeraakt in haar leven, maar zichzelf gelukkig nooit. Toch merkt ze dat vergeten haar soms bang maakt. Wat als je ineens niet meer weet waar iets ligt? Of erger nog: wat als je jezelf niet meer helemaal vertrouwt? Roos deelt hoe migraine-medicatie haar in een depressie stortte. Toen ze alleen nog maar wilde slapen, wist ze dat het mis was. Schrijven lukte niet meer; dat kon pas toen het beter ging. Hoe vind je jezelf terug als je jezelf écht bent kwijtgeraakt? En Eva vertelt hoe ze jarenlang zei dat het goed ging, terwijl ze met een geheim rondliep waar niemand van wist. Zó vaak, dat ze op een gegeven moment zelf niet meer wist wat ze eigenlijk voelde. Het voelde alsof ze achter glas leefde. Tot ze ontdekte dat je je pas echt met iemand kunt verbinden als je je krasjes toont. Van zoekgeraakte ringen tot zoekgeraakte identiteiten, van paspoorten die op de dag van vertrek verdwenen lijken tot de vraag waarom sommige periodes je voorgoed veranderen: in deze aflevering praten Noraly, Roos en Eva over alles wat we kwijtraken, en hoe we dat onderweg toch weer terugvinden.Support the show: https://libelle.nl/generatievrouwSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, I'm re-airing a conversation from the archives with designer Norma Kamali, whose 50-year career is as rich as her designs are iconic — and who, fittingly for the COMEBACKS SERIES, lost her entire company and built it all back. We get into her thoughts on her evolving industry, upcoming generations, falling in love at 65, and why experience is your greatest asset. She gently gives me advice, and shares the motto that's carried her through building her career more than once: The more you do, the more you can do.

America on its 250th birthday. As the country prepares to mark the occasion, public opinion shows a complicated picture of national pride. While many Americans still say they are proud to be American, that pride is not felt equally across political parties, generations, or views of the country's future. This week, the Poll Hub team looks at what American pride means today and how it compares with earlier moments in U.S. history. Then, we turn to another major generational moment: the oldest Baby Boomers turning 80. As millions of Americans enter older age, questions about death, caregiving, wills, and end-of-life planning are becoming more urgent. Polling shows that Americans often understand the importance of these conversations, but many still delay making concrete plans or discussing their wishes with loved ones. We break down what the data reveals about America's comfort with death, and its lack of preparation for it. And, finally, we end with a look back at how Americans once felt about shifting major holidays to Mondays for longer weekends.

This week we turn independence upside down. We think we're independent when we can live and receive care in our homes, but that forces our family to reshape their lives to support our progressing needs. Then families feel really bad when they realize they can't do it - they never knew how much work and time it takes. So many parents beg their children to never "put" them somewhere. Or when the subject comes up, they exclaim, "I'm not ready yet!" But then, after they do move to Senior Living, the new exclamation becomes "OMG, why didn't I move her sooner?" Senior Living communities are evolving to meet Baby Boomer demands for comfort and activities. Today, the good ones can be considered Resorts with Help. The better ones, with the best employees who can nurture our well-being and create a great culture cost more than others. The median cost for assisted living today across the country is $75,000 annually and is expected to increase to over $200,000 per year in 20 years. That's median, so the resort like places will cost more. We need to prepare today so we can choose where we can live later.

Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab & Co., says that "there is so much short-attention-span money driving the market right now ... looking for the shiny new object," that investors want to diversify throughout artificial intelligence businesses, taking profits  and rebalancing especially when specific stocks go parabolic, to capture profits and avoid some of the volatility being created by enormous expectation levels. Sonders says that an "aggregate recession" remains "a ways away," but she notes that there have been rolling recessions, with services weaking currently, coming off a manufacturing decline earlier in the year. As a result, she suggests considering sectors that could be in line for pullbacks rather than expecting a credit crunch or a mistake by regulators to create a broad-based decline. Justin Baer discusses his new book, "House of Fidelity: The Rise of the Johnson Dynasty and the Company That Changed American Investing," and digs into some of the details that turned the notoriously secretive and private company from a firm for Boston elites into a the investing powerhouse whose accounts and funds touch the lives of one in five American adults. Niki Glen, Northwestern Mutual wealth management advisor discusses the latest data from Northwestern Mutual's 2026 Planning & Progress Study, which showed that true financial independence remains beyond the grasp of many Americans. One in five U.S. adults believes they will never achieve financial independence, which is borne out in survey results showing that more than 40 percent of adults — including a surprisingly high percentage of Baby Boomers, who are all at or beyond retirement age — continue to rely on their parents for financial support. More than half of Millennials (who range between 30 and 45 years old) were still dependent on financial help from their family.

The RV industry is chasing the wrong generation. While manufacturers court 30-somethings with outdoor TVs and influencer campaigns, the buyers who are actually writing checks right now look nothing like the people in the ads.Last week I sat around a campfire in Hocking Hills, Ohio with 88 members of our RVCommunity. I asked how many had bought a new RV in the past year. Eleven hands went up. A 12th would have, but he was out on a six-mile hike. He was turning 70.That tells you everything the sales charts do not.In this episode we dig into who is really driving the RV market right now, what experienced RVers actually want that manufacturers keep missing, the quiet but alarming shift happening in our national parks, and a dramatic rescue on the Appalachian Trail that is a reminder of exactly why preparation matters out there.Read the companion blog post on RVing in the second half of life at RVLifestyle.com - link below.Here is the complete episode, start to finish.THE RV PODCAST - MONDAY NEWS EDITION Episode Air Date: Monday, June 23, 2026 - 6:00 AM Approx. Running Time: 25 Minutes Host: Mike WendlandTHE LAST GENERATION THAT KNOWS HOW TO TRAVEL ...and why the RV industry keeps ignoring themOPENLast week I was sitting around a campfire in Hocking Hills, Ohio, with about 50 members of our RVCommunity.com.I asked a simple question: how many of you have bought a brand new RV in the last year?Eleven hands went up. A 12th would have, but he was out on a six-mile sunset hike - and he was turning 70 that summer.This was happening while the RV industry is posting some of the worst wholesale shipment numbers in over a decade.Which raises a question the people running this industry ought to be asking themselves: who exactly are they building RVs for?Because I can tell you who is actually buying them. And they look nothing like the people in the ads.OPENINGGood morning and welcome to the RV Podcast Monday News Edition. I'm Mike Wendland.Eighteen Emmy Awards. Thirty-plus years covering everything from wars to the White House to consumer affairs. And for the past 15 years, living the RV lifestyle myself with my wife Jennifer in every type of rig you can imagine, coast to coast, all 48 contiguous states.Today's show is a little different. Instead of leading with a breaking story, I want to start with something I witnessed firsthand that I believe tells you more about the real state of the RV market than any press release you will read this year.And if you want to go deeper after you listen, I have been writing about this topic at RVLifestyle.com for the past several weeks. We have been exploring what it means to RV in the second half of life - the freedom, the community, the mindset, and yes, the ways the industry keeps getting it wrong. There is a link in the show notes. I think you will recognize yourself in it.Here is what is happening on the road. And here is what the industry is getting wrong. Let's get into it.LEAD STORY: THE LAST GENERATION THAT KNOWS HOW TO TRAVELThe RV industry is having a rough year. A really rough year. And the numbers tell the story fast, so let me give them to you and move on, because the real story is not the numbers. The real story is who is still out there buying and camping while those numbers grind downward.Wholesale shipments are down more than 13 percent through the first four months of 2026. Retail sales off 14 to 15 percent from last year. The industry's own forecast, just revised downward again this month, now projects this as one of the worst years for new RV sales in over a decade.So who is still buying?Here is what I can tell you from 15 years in this world and from what I saw last week in Hocking Hills. The people who are still writing checks for new RVs, right now, in the worst market in a decade, are the people the industry seems most determined to pretend do not exist.Baby Boomers. Older Gen Xers. People who grew up reading paper maps. Making reservations by phone. Talking to strangers when they got lost. Fixing things with their hands. Navigating real uncertainty with nothing but experience and nerve.According to industry research, Americans 50 and older remain the primary customer segment for RVs. Many are retirees fulfilling long-held travel dreams, and that population is still growing as the tail end of the baby boom ages into retirement. These are people with home equity, disposable income, and something even more valuable: the time and the confidence to actually use what they buy.And yet when you look at the ads. When you watch the Go RVing campaigns. When you walk the floor of any major RV show and look at the marketing materials stacked at the booths. You see toned and trendy 30-year-olds doing yoga on the roof of a Class B. You see influencers with ring lights and perfect hair. What you do not see is the 68-year-old retired engineer who just dropped $95,000 on a new fifth wheel and is headed to Alaska.That is a real blind spot. And I think it is costing the industry real money.Here is what I saw at our Hocking Hills rally. Eighty-eight people, ranging from their 50s into their 80s. Riding bikes and e-bikes and scooters. Hiking up and down some of the most spectacular terrain in the Midwest. One of our members, a retired RV technician, got under a fellow member's trailer and repacked the wheel bearings on the spot. Another couple spent an afternoon giving scooter lessons to anyone who wanted to learn.Nobody was stuck. Nobody was panicking. When something broke, someone fixed it. When someone needed help, someone helped them. These are people who grew up problem-solving before there was an app for it. And they brought every one of those skills out here.I asked how many had bought a new RV in the past year. Eleven hands went up. Twelve if you count the man who was out on a six-mile hike at 70 years old.This is happening while the industry chases 33-year-olds with solar panels and TikTok aesthetics.I am not saying younger buyers are not important. They are the future and we need them. But the marketing case being made inside RV boardrooms right now, that the 50-plus buyer is yesterday's news, is demonstrably wrong. And in a market this soft, you cannot afford to ignore your most reliable customer.I wrote about this at length over at RVLifestyle.com. It is part of an ongoing series we have been running on RVing in the second half of life. The link is in the show notes. If today's lead story speaks to you, that post will too.STORY 2: WHO IS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE MARKETThe demographic picture of who owns and buys RVs is more complicated than the ads suggest, and it is worth understanding.The median age of RV owners has come down in recent years. Younger buyers were absolutely part of the pandemic surge. Millennials and Gen Z now represent roughly 22 percent of RV owners - the same share as Baby Boomers - which tells you something about how quickly the demographics shifted during COVID.But here is what the industry sometimes misses in that data. Younger buyers came in during a period of historically low interest rates, flush pandemic savings, and work-from-home flexibility. Those conditions no longer exist. The buyers who are proving most resilient in this market are the ones who are not dependent on 7 percent financing to make the purchase work.Industry analyst Earl Hunter Jr., founder of The Unity Folks, put it bluntly in a recent trade publication outlook piece. He said the biggest trend in the RV industry right now is, simply, lack of growth. And that the industry has not figured out why emerging demographics and nontraditional consumers have little to no interest in the RV lifestyle.That is a real problem worth solving. But while the industry works on reaching new audiences, there is a generation of experienced, well-capitalized, deeply motivated buyers out on the road right now who built this market and are still carrying it. They deserve a little more respect than a supporting role in someone else's marketing story.STORY 3: WHAT EXPERIENCED RVers ACTUALLY WANT - AND WHAT MANUFACTURERS KEEP MISSINGI want to tell you one more thing from Hocking Hills, because I think it reveals something important about the disconnect between what the industry is building and what experienced RVers actually need.During our campfire conversation, I asked people what features they most use in their current rigs. What do they love. What they would change.Nobody mentioned outdoor TVs. Not one person. This is notable because outdoor entertainment has been one of the most aggressively marketed RV features of the last several years. Manufacturers have been loading up rigs with outdoor TVs, outdoor kitchens, outdoor speakers. The assumption is that RVers want to recreate the suburban living room experience outside.Our members were out hiking six miles. They were packed into a campfire circle talking to each other. They were fixing each other's trailers. The last thing they wanted was a television.What did they talk about wanting? Better towing stability. Improved service networks. Simpler systems that do not require a software update to turn on the hot water. Quality that lasts. And dealers who actually know the products they are selling.These are people with decades of RV miles behind them. They know exactly what they need and exactly what they do not. When you have that kind of experience, you stop being impressed by features and start being impressed by reliability.The industry could learn a lot by listening more carefully to the people who have been doing this the longest....

Join Pastor Dale Partridge as he examines how the Baby Boomer generation inherited the prosperity, institutions, and cultural capital built by their parents, yet often consumed those resources for short-term gain rather than preserving them for future generations. In this episode, he argues that the Boomers functioned like generational locusts, stripping the nation of much of its inherited glory while leaving a diminished inheritance for those who followed.

As SpaceX stock soars, we talk IPOs for space and beyond. We also focus on the market's reaction to a new Iran ceasefire agreement, the implications of the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO, and what these developments may signal about broader market conditions. We look over how IPOs have historically performed, why many high-profile offerings struggle after their debut, and whether SpaceX's valuation reflects genuine business fundamentals or investor enthusiasm. We also examined the economic impact of falling oil prices, shifting inflation expectations, upcoming Federal Reserve policy decisions, consumer spending trends, and why correlations often drive market narratives.  We discuss... The market's positive reaction to a renewed Iran ceasefire and the resulting drop in oil prices. Breakdown of the SpaceX IPO, its first-day performance, and why retail investors were eager to participate. How IPOs work and why many high-profile offerings historically decline after going public. Why company insiders often choose to take businesses public when valuations are most favorable. Past IPOs including Uber, Meta, Coinbase, Robinhood, and Rivian to illustrate common post-IPO price patterns. Whether SpaceX's valuation is justified by the strength of its Starlink business and launch operations. OpenAI, Anthropic IPO expectations and concerns about AI company valuations. How large IPOs can act as liquidity drains by attracting capital away from existing market leaders. Elon Musk becoming the world's first trillionaire and what that signifies for investor sentiment. How falling energy prices could help reduce inflation and improve economic conditions. Upcoming Federal Reserve leadership changes and expectations for future interest rate policy. Consumer spending trends and the role of Baby Boomer wealth in supporting economic activity. Why investors should focus on correlations rather than assuming direct causation in market movements.
