What Monthly Income Puts You Above the Average Canadian Retiree?

#canadianretirement #canadianfinance #cppandoas What does it actually take to be above the average Canadian retiree in 2026? In this video, I break down the real monthly income lines, the six income buckets every retiree pulls from, and exactly how much in savings, CPP, and OAS you need to clear the median — using the latest data from Statistics Canada and the CRA. Most Canadians have no idea where they really sit. The bar is lower than the financial industry wants you to believe, and the climb past it is shorter than you think. By the end of this video, you'll know exactly where you stand and the next number you need to hit.
