For many Canadians, the problem isn't a lack of information—it's having too much information , not knowing which sources to trust, and feeling embarrassed to ask basic financial questions. Financial literacy is about more than knowing the difference between a TFSA and an RRSP; it's about developing the confidence and habits to make sound financial decisions, even when the future feels uncertain. In this episode of Make Better Wealth Decisions , John speaks with Shannon Lee Simmons , financial planner and founder of New School Finance, about the state of financial literacy in Canada and the practical financial planning questions Canadians should be asking. You'll learn: How to build financial confidence by turning financial knowledge into practical habits and decisions. How to think about CPP, investment returns, TFSAs and RRSPs without falling into common assumptions and misconceptions. How to manage financial uncertainty with realistic expectations and smaller, actionable “micro financial plans” that keep you moving forward. Listen to the episode to build the financial literacy and confidence you need to make better wealth decisions—one small plan at a time.","meta_description":"How confident are you when it comes to making decisions about your money?
