A tariff war, tax time and the rising cost of living, scams targeting aging investors and the fear of outliving your retirement savings - these are items weighing on the minds of many seniors this spring. It's time for a financial check up.

In this episode of EXPLAINED, you'll learn about different ways to achieve financial fitness in your retirement years.

Host Liz West of Zoomer Radio will be joined by Canadian Association of Retired Persons - CARP's Anthony Quinn, CAA's Dwayne Williams, HomeEquity Bank's Pattie Lovett-Reid, Dignity Memorial's Calvin Carter and Canada Revenue Agency's Paul N Murphy to talk about tips for tax time, protecting investments, the best approach to life insurance and estate planning, and how to leverage hidden assets to fund retirement living.

In her storied career, Liz West has interviewed hundreds of celebrities, newsmakers and even royalty, and anchored for five different networks. While with Citytv, she earned the Toronto Sun Readers Choice award for Favourite Entertainment TV Reporter two years running. Liz currently hosts Zoomer Radio's Afternoon Express.

Pattie Lovett-Reid, HomeEquity Bank's Chief Financial Commentator, brings a wealth of experience as a banker, certified financial planner, bestselling author and former host of the Pattie Lovett-Reid Show on CTV. Pattie is passionate about informing and educating Canadians 55+ about options in retirement, lifestyle and finances.

Dwayne Williams is a Certified Executor Advisor, the Principle for CAA Club Group Advisory Services and AVP of Life and Health Insurance. He leads an advisory business with a team devoted to providing top-notch insurance education, estate management and personal insurance solutions.

Anthony Quinn is the Chief Operating Officer at the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, a national, not-for-profit organization that champions policies to end ageism and ensure dignity, financial security and healthcare access for aging Canadians.

Calvin Carter is the Sales Manager for Greater Toronto with Dignity Memorial, North America's largest, trusted provider of funeral, cremation and cemetery services. Calvin and his team are committed to quality, value, caring service and exceptional customer satisfaction when helping to honour a life lived.

Paul N. Murphy has spent the last six years as Senior Communications Advisor for the Canada Revenue Agency's Ontario Region, but his work with CRA dates back an impressive 25 years. Having held positions at the Individual and Benefits Enquiries Call Centre and in Public Affairs, his diverse duties over the years have ranged from management and advisory roles to working at the local and regional levels, and at Ottawa headquarters.
