More than half of Canadians indicate they are behind on retirement savings, according to a recent survey commissioned by tax preparation firm H&R Block Canada.

The survey, published on April 3, found that 52 percent of Canadians are unprepared for retirement as they don’t feel they have enough money left at the end of the month to save for it. Half of them (50 percent) say they plan to have a “side gig” when they retire.
