Finn's story

Balancing work, family and future planning

  • Occupation: Engineer  
  • Age: 55

Meet Finn

Finn is an IT engineer who has worked hard to create stability for his family. After years of contracting, he now values the security of a permanent role. He and his wife both have demanding jobs, so most of his time is spent balancing work and home life.

On the surface, everything feels under control, but the day-to-day pressure has started to build. He finds it hard to switch off and often feels like there’s always something else to think about.

Retirement still feels a long way off, and while he knows he should be planning ahead, he doesn’t always have the time or energy to focus on it.

What happens next

Finn logs into his Canada Life account when it suits him. There, he can:

  • Check how his pension is growing
  • See what it could be worth in the future
  • Start exploring his options early

He doesn’t need to make any decisions yet, but having a clear view helps him feel more in control of his future.
