It’s a topic that many Canadians avoid thinking about until they are already approaching retirement age. But the truth is, planning for retirement and having a higher pension is crucial for a comfortable and worry-free life in our golden years. To gain a better understanding of the importance of a higher pension, we spoke with Canadians from various backgrounds and asked them about their thoughts and experiences.One of the main reasons why a higher pension is important is because it provides financial security. “As I approach retirement, I want to be able to enjoy my free time without having to constantly worry about money,” says Sarah, a 59-year-old from Toronto. “Having a higher pension will give me peace of mind and allow me to do the things I have always wanted to do.” Similarly, 65-year-old John from Vancouver shares that a higher pension allows him to comfortably cover his expenses, including healthcare costs, while still having enough left over for leisure activities.
