    Job Hugging, Labour Hoarding & Canada’s Housing Crunch 🏠📉 | The Financial Rundown | EP. 5

    In this episode of The Financial Rundown (filmed Nov 3, 2025), CJ and Maddie unpack one of the biggest shifts since the Great Resignation: the rise of job hugging and labour hoarding. We look at how workers went from quitting in record numbers in 2021 and 2022 to clinging tightly to stable roles in today’s cooler job market, and why companies are holding onto staff even when business slows.  We also dive into what these labour trends mean for the broader economy, your career strategy, and your financial planning. From market drawdowns and long-term investing to Canada’s housing pressures and early Budget Day expectations, this episode covers the major signals shaping the months ahead. And yes, we dig into the chart that explains 45 years of market dips versus long-term gains, plus why staying invested through volatility still matters. CJ and Maddy also breaks down what’s happening inside Canada’s housing affordability crisis, why mortgage arrears are rising, and how renewals at higher rates are tightening household budgets heading into 2025. We close with our monthly recommendations, from financial podcasts to personal core memories. ❔Who are we?

    The truth behind how a $700,000 RRSP turned into a $660,000 tax bill | The Financial Rundown | EP. 5

    In this episode of The Financial Rundown (filmed October 7, 2025), CJ welcomes Madeline Stratton, Associate Advisor at Philotimo Wealth, to unpack a whirlwind of headlines: from viral tax horror stories to the truth behind Canada’s rising unemployment.They start with a look at a Burlington family’s inheritance “wipeout”, a case making waves online for showing how a $700,000 RRSP turned into just $55,000 after taxes and why that headline is more clickbait than cautionary tale. CJ and Madeline break down the real tax rules behind RRSPs, cottages, and capital gains, and how smart planning can help you avoid the RRSP tax bomb.Next, the team turns to the markets and the economy covering:- The “political market myth” using new data from Ryan Detrick showing why stocks rise regardless of who’s in office.- A closer look at Canada’s rising unemployment, the challenges young adults face, and how families can build resilience through budgeting, skill growth, and smart investing.- What’s really driving the market’s strength in 2025 (with earnings and fundamentals, not speculation) behind the rally.And as always, we close with a few personal recommendations that CJ and Maddy have been watching, reading, and listening to lately.Who We ArePhilotimo (fee.low.tee.mo)Definition: “Friendship and Honour”We build long-term client relationships rooted in friendship and honour.
