Sue Pimento is a retirement literacy advocate and former banking executive with 30+ years of experience across the mortgage, real estate, and banking sectors. She focuses on helping Canadian retirees and their families better understand retirement financing and the role home equity can play in building long-term financial confidence.
Retirement has changed, and the old playbook no longer works. Sue wrote Your Retirement Reset to shift the mindset for retirees from fearing financial insecurity to embracing the resources available to them by wisely utilizing their hard-earned assets, including the equity in their home, to create the one thing every senior is searching for: guaranteed, predictable income they can rely on for life.
Imagine a world where retirees enjoy their golden years with financial independence, dignity, and a home of their choosing, free from the stress of outliving their savings. For those with the means, that is the reality. For many other seniors, that life is within reach, but achieving it requires solutions for unprecedented challenges:
- longer lifespans
- eroding purchasing power
- vanishing private sector pensions
- a desire to age in place and damn the torpedoes
Consider this: 75 percent of Canadians over 55 are homeowners, and 90 percent want to age in place. Yet most experience FORO — fear of running out — and dread their options: downsizing, renting, or moving in with family. Each means sacrificing the very independence and dignity they’ve worked a lifetime to achieve.
Your Retirement Reset offers a clear, modern roadmap through those challenges, showing readers how to use all their assets, including home equity, to build a retirement that actually works.
