So they have a better chance at a comfortable retirement.

We know so many retirees aren't comfortable right now, you know, because they didn't save enough or life happened and so on and so forth.

But like you said, Sean, I get that the government needs their tax dollars, but I'm not going to go into my thoughts on how those tax dollars are being used.

Oh, I think it's a good note to end the episode.

We would love, love, love if you would join us next time to hear about climate change and the financial impacts of home ownership.

Useful episode if you are planning to buy a house or own one.

But first, our weekly money news roundup, where we break down the latest in the world of finance to help you be smarter with your money.

Our newest colleague, Anna Helhosky, is back.

Hello, hello, hello, Anna.

Thanks for having us.

And thank you, Anna.

I feel a little bit inspired.

I think I'm going to have a new hobby during the springtime, just going to look at houses just because.

I'm not buying, but I just want to go look because why not?

That's what you think.
