Debt in retirement Is more common, and more manageable than you think
Debt doesn’t disappear at retirement, and for many Canadians, it becomes harder to manage on a fixed income. Rising living costs, housing expenses, and unexpected family or health-related pressures mean even modest debt can create ongoing stress. The good news is that there are legal, compassionate solutions designed specifically to help retirees protect their home, pension, and savings, while reducing or even eliminating unsecured debt. With the right guidance, it’s possible to regain control and enjoy retirement with greater peace of mind.
