Millie Gormely grew up on a dairy farm outside Thunder Bay, Ont., where money could be unpredictable and hard work was simply part of life. As a kid, she learned that if she wanted something, she had to earn it. That philosophy carried on into adulthood. It took juggling multiple jobs, and eventually multiple surgeries, before Millie realized she needed to slow things down. Today, Millie is a financial planner who focuses her practice on independent women. She and Brenda discuss the intense work schedule that landed her in the hospital, why some lifelong savers struggle to spend in retirement and her new financial planning book, More Than Numbers.
