What do downhill carting in Calgary, a baby black bear, and retirement planning have in common? They’re all part of this week’s episode of The Own Your Retirement Show!

Fresh off a family trip to the Canadian Rockies, Josh shares some hilarious and heartwarming travel stories—including the kids’ new obsession with go-karts and french fries at the top of a rotating tower. But the real journey? It’s figuring out how to retire confidently.

Josh and Mark dive into the four essential questions every retiree or soon-to-be-retiree should ask:

When can I retire?
Have I saved enough?
Will my money last?
Will my loved ones be okay?

They explore the difference between wanting to retire and being able to, how pensions and Social Security fit into your income puzzle, and why taxes may be the biggest retirement wildcard.

From long-term care costs to Roth conversion opportunities, this episode is packed with relatable advice, real-life scenarios, and a few good dad jokes for good measure.

If you’re planning for retirement—or just wondering if you’re on the right path—this episode gives you a roadmap that’s both practical and easy to follow.
