What is retirement?

The traditional definition is simple enough - it's the period of one's life after one finishes working - but does that still hold true today? Surely nothing is ever that straightforward?

Jim Feeny is a volunteer with CJNU 93.7FM and - after a successful career in radio, television, and media relations - is, allegedly, retired. But what exactly does that mean?

Over the course of this podcast, Jim will try to piece together a picture of what retirement looks like today - combining insights from experts, with honest conversations he's had with a number of folks at different stages of their retirement journeys. Are their experiences wholly unique? Or are there any common threads that we can learn from?

So join us - as we share Perspectives on Navigating Retirement.

Perspectives is produced by CJNU 93.7FM in Winnipeg, with the support of the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.

  • S1E05 - The Other Side of the Coin
    Jun 16 2026

    In this episode of Perspectives, host Jim Feeny continues our conversation about money - and takes a look at the other side of the coin.

    What if, through no fault of your own, your life hasn't gone according to plan? What happens if your retirement income is considerably lower than you'd expected? What do you do if you're struggling to simply make ends meet and keep food on the table?

    These scenarios may sound bleak - yet for many, this is the reality of their retirement lives. But there is always hope. And there is help available if one knows where to find it, and how to ask for it.

    So, Jim chats with some of the agencies that exist to help those struggling most in our society - where people work tirelessly to ensure those living with little or no income have access to crucial services and supports, provided without judgment.

    Money is one of the biggest factors to affect our retirement years - yet in order to lay the groundwork for the retirement life we want to live, it's arguably something we should be thinking about long before we retire. But where do we start?

    Join Jim - as he chats with both retirees and experts - to learn some general good practices, and to gain an overview of the many considerations that go into financial planning for retirement.
