Two approaches to downsizing
– moneysense.ca
(Getty Images/ mstay)Once you hit the decumulation years, a common option new retirees consider is downsizing from a large urban home. Friends of ours on our street are about to put their home up for sale in order to move to a small town an hour away. The difference in the home values will constitute a major nest egg to supplement meagre government pensions and part-time work.
Wednesday’s Financial Post has two articles on this theme. In the RRSP Special Report (I also contributed an article on a different topic), Garry Marr describes the strategy of finding lower-priced homes in small towns. The small-town appeal is a huge factor for retirees because it can allow them to sell their house in a large city and extract the equity, which they can then live off for their remaining years.

In the same report, financial planner Ted Rechtshaffen describes the alternative option of selling your home but instead of purchasing a smaller one or moving to a small town, choosing instead to rent…

Uber says review it commissioned shows data safe, private for people using it to book rides
– canadianbusiness.com
SAN FRANCISCO – Uber Technologies says that if you catch a ride with one of its drivers, your personal and financial data are safe — from Uber itself.
The ride-booking company on Friday used a blog post to release the results of what it described as a thorough outside examination of its privacy and personal data policies.
While popular with users and investors, the company has faced criticism that its employees inappropriately accessed customer data. That is just one problem that Uber is trying to overcome — another is that it does not properly screen drivers that connect with passengers through its app to ensure they have clean criminal records.
In the blog post, Uber said attorneys from the law firm Hogan Lovells spent six weeks reviewing documentation and interviewing executives and concluded that, “overall our privacy program is strong.”
“While Uber is encouraged by these findings, we fully acknowledge that we haven’t always gotten it right,” according to the blog post…
