Absolutely. But some may not be able to afford to do that right now.”Affordability constraints force a practical mindset, and Canadians are adapting to live in the now while still eyeing future stability.[15:46 Financial independence across generationsFinancial independence takes unique forms across generations, shaped by distinct hurdles.For Gen Z, it means covering tuition or living without roommates, while Millennials strive for homeownership and stable budgets.Gen X focuses on building nest eggs to retire comfortably, avoiding work into later years.Boomers prioritize preserving wealth to remain self-sufficient, with mental health emerging as a key barrier for Gen Z, intertwining emotional and financial well-being.[19:53] Role of financial advice in achieving financial goalsFinancial advisors serve as vital partners in turning ambitions into reality, with 60% of successful Canadians leveraging their resources.Strategic planning support helps set and prioritize goals, while skills development tools enhance financial literacy.Networking and guidance from banks strengthen support systems, fostering resilience.[20:08] Sean Simpson: “Canadians who are successfully advancing their ambitions are more inclined to utilize their bank as a resource for achieving their goals, with a usage rate of 60% compared to only 49% among those who aren't.”Traditional financial assistance, like investment and tax planning can help Canadians progress toward their financial goals.[22:35] Future Trends and Hope for CanadiansCurrent economic uncertainties, from tariffs to market volatility, mark a unique moment, yet hope persists.[23:35] Sean Simpson: “I think Canadians will make even more progress on their ambitions than they have in the last year, which has no doubt been challenging, but rewarding at the same time.”As challenges like job anxiety and inflation ease, we may see greater progress toward ambitions.68% of surveyed Canadians feel that they are advancing toward their goals, setting the foundation for bolder aspirations.With reduced uncertainty, the pendulum may swing back toward long-term planning, inspiring new ambitions and sustained optimism.About Sean Sean Simpson is the Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at Ipsos, with over 15 years of expertise in public opinion polling, reputation management, and social trends research.

Welcome back to Money on My Mind! Today's episode is one of the most personal and powerful I've ever recorded. Despite battling a heavy heart and a tough cold, I felt compelled to sit down and share something deeply important: why we so often sabotage our own financial goals—and more importantly, how to break the cycle.   I open up about recent personal loss and the emotional struggles that come with it, tying it all back to how our mindset and subconscious beliefs can quietly but forcefully derail our money journey. We dive deep into childhood money scripts, upper limit beliefs, fear of success, and the psychological traps that keep us stuck. If you've ever wondered why it feels so hard to follow through with your financial plans, this episode is for you.   Timeline Summary [0:00] - Introduction [0:41] - Why we set goals but never follow through—and why I still showed up to record today [2:15] - How self-sabotage and upper limit beliefs shape your financial ceiling [4:39] - The impact of childhood money scripts and subconscious programming [8:27] - Personal story: learning money lessons the hard way as a kid [13:05] - Fear of success and how our past can create hidden resistance [16:58] - The tribal psychology of money and fear of outgrowing your circle [21:07] - Stockholm Syndrome and why staying broke sometimes feels safer [25:01] - Signs you're sabotaging your success—spending sprees, over-research, and distractions [29:31] - Tools to interrupt self-sabotage and shift your financial identity [39:13] - Journal prompts to help rewire your beliefs and unlock new success   Quoteables “Until people see themselves as someone who handles money well, they'll keep proving the opposite.” “Sometimes we're not afraid to fail—we're afraid to succeed and lose it all.” “Money is energy. Money is value. Money is not time spent.” “If I had money already, what would I be doing differently?” “You don't need to be great to start, but you need to start to become great.”   Links & Resources   https://bookwithbudgetdog.com/ped   If this episode spoke to you, I'd be grateful if you rated and reviewed the show!

In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, Shari breaks down six sneaky psychological biases that shape your money decisions without you even realizing it. From anchoring to optimism bias, these aren't personal flaws—they're predictable brain glitches. But once you spot them, you can stop them. You'll walk away understanding: What anchoring bias is and why it makes that $100 dress feel like a steal (when it's not) Why the fear of losing money feels worse than actually losing it—and how that keeps you stuck How your brain protects old money stories through confirmation bias Why instant gratification keeps winning, even when your future self is begging you to chill How optimism bias tricks you into thinking “next month” will magically fix everything Why social proof bias is fueling lifestyle creep—and what to do instead This is the episode that will make you pause mid-scroll, mid-spend, or mid-self-doubt and say, “Ohhhh, that's what's going on.” If any of these biases hit home, share the episode with a friend and DM Shari @everyonestalkinmoney to keep the conversation going Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we step behind the curtain of financial planning to unpack what makes a financial plan succeed—and just as importantly—what can derail it. We kick things off with a discussion about structure and intentionality. Amy Walls explains how her team at Thimbleberry Financial organizes their schedules to be proactive and client-focused. By setting clear availability and reserving space for strategic planning and internal work, they're able to show up fully prepared for client meetings and respond effectively in between.We then explore how life events, especially the big and unexpected ones, impact planning. Medical diagnoses, large expenses, home changes, or receiving an inheritance—all of these can affect a financial strategy. We emphasize the importance of timely communication: the sooner we know, the better we can adjust the plan. Amy also reminds us that “big” is subjective. Our financial mindset and values shape how we define major changes, and that's part of the data that matters, too.Speaking of data, we clarify that every document request serves a purpose. Whether it's retirement summaries or tax returns, we ask only for what might improve the accuracy and depth of our advice. Sometimes, those pieces of information reveal benefits or pitfalls that clients weren't even aware of, significantly shifting their trajectory. Taxes, in particular, often catch people off guard, and without returns in hand, it's tough to diagnose the real issue.As we dig deeper, we confront ambition versus reality. When clients want to retire early but aren't on track for a more standard goal, we stress the importance of honest evaluation. If you're not ready to make the changes needed to hit the baseline, it's not useful to explore stretch goals. It's not about being harsh—it's about using everyone's time wisely and avoiding decision fatigue.We close by highlighting what a successful client-advisor relationship looks like. Clear communication, timely data, and realism about trade-offs are essential. When clients are engaged, responsive, and honest about what's possible, we can offer not just sound advice, but advice that truly improves lives. Financial planning works best when both advisor and client show up ready to collaborate with transparency and intention.
