It's interesting. I believe it's going to be a crisis, at least here in Canada, where our boomer bulge is the largest in the world. Much like our southern neighbours, our soon-to-be-retirees don't have much in savings, and the vast majority of their net-worth is tied up in their homes. Unlike the US, we haven't had a housing price adjustment yet. So these boomers are counting on having the current value of their home as their future retirement fund. But as we've learned, that number may as well be fairy dust until someone hands you a cheque. So what happens when these boomers go to retire, and they find out nobody can afford (or wants) to buy their $500,000 McMansion? When every boomer actually has half, or worse, the amount of money to retire as they thought?
