Episode 83 of The Canadian Mortgage Show welcomes David Chilton, bestselling author of The Wealthy Barber and former Dragon’s Den investor.
In this conversation, David joins Alex Pang and Alex Shanks to talk about why it feels harder than ever for young Canadians to get ahead. They break down the rising cost of living, the pressure of housing prices, why “pay yourself first” still matters, and how social media, credit, and AI are reshaping financial behavior.
They also dig into whether renting can sometimes be smarter than buying, why Canada became too dependent on real estate, the future of trades versus white-collar work, and what needs to change if Canada wants more innovation, stronger business formation, and better opportunities for the next generation.
If you care about mortgages, housing, personal finance, real estate, and the economic future of Canada, this is a must-watch episode.
