Investing in your 40s
– moneysense.ca
(iStock)There may be no more volatile time in adulthood than your 20s and 30s. So much changes over those two decades, it can be hard to know what to expect next. Once 40 hits, though, it should be relatively smooth sailing, says Cynthia Kett, a CFP and principal at Stewart & Kett Financial Advisors Inc. It’s in this decade in which salaries tend to climb, monthly bills stabilize and mortgages shrink, if not disappear entirely.
However, there is one pitfall that this cohort risks almost across the board: overspending. According to a 2015 study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, most people reach peak earnings in their 40s. As exciting as that may be for people entering that decade, it’s also easy to spend those additional dollars on better vacations, newer cars, nicer restaurants and more.

President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker (R), Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (C) and EU Council President Donald Tusk (L) during a press conference at the end of an EU-Canada summit where they signed the agreement on the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), a planned EU-Canada free trade agreement, in Brussels, Belgium, 30 October 2016. (Stephanie Lecocq/CP)OTTAWA – The federal budget watchdog says Canada’s free-trade pact with Europe will produce modest economic gains that work out to an average annual income boost of $220 per Canadian.
The parliamentary budget office estimates the trade deal would have lifted Canada’s overall economic output in 2015 by 0.4 per cent or $7.9 billion, if it had been implemented.
The report says Canadian exports of goods to the EU would have increased $4 billion, services would have been up $2.2 billion and investment would have grown by $3.1 billion.
However, the budget office predicts some Canadian sectors will likely see slower growth under the agreement – including some dairy and agricultural products, textiles and some machinery and manufactured goods…
