Homeownership, or Travels: Canadian Generations Are Shaping Different Life Milestones and Financial Goals
Article content From homeownership and career success to personal growth and exploration, Canadians are telling us what it means to achieve success in today's world, with many identifying travels as a top necessity for an accomplished life, before more traditional routes. Article content Article content MONTREAL — With economic uncertainty reshaping financial priorities, Canadians are increasingly finding themselves at a crossroads when having to prioritize big spending decisions. In a recent survey fielded in March 2025 by Arlington Research and polling 1,500 adults living in Canada who had flown at least once in the past two years, FlightHub took a deep dive into Canadians' sentiments surrounding travel and how it compares to other life milestones, such as homeownership and career, to see if the needle was moving as to what was seen as a luxury – or a necessary – activity. Article content Canadians (also) define success through experiences – and travel is key Article content The white picket-fence dream does not seem to be a one-size-fits all dream: in a close tie with the traditional focus on homeownership, travel is now seen as a significant milestone. According to the survey, 60 per cent of respondents view travel as an important life achievement, slightly surpassing homeownership (58%), earning a high income (44%), having children (41%) and career advancement (38%). Article content While 54 per cent of respondents own a home, 30 per cent are saving to buy one and 14 per cent have no plans for homeownership. However, 61 per cent of respondents agree that if real estate were more affordable, they would prioritize homeownership over travel. Article content 'Canadians' view of success now also integrates different experience-based milestones. While other work or home-related goals are still strong symbols of achievement, the survey highlights that many are finding success in life's experiences, particularly in travel,' says Henri Chelhot, CEO of FlightHub. 'Travel is no longer just about leisure – it's a powerful tool for personal growth, exploration and creating memories.' Article content How do both those experiential and material success milestones materialize when it comes to financial planning and budget choices? The survey found that Canadians prioritize saving for retirement first (70%), followed by buying at home (66%), paying off their debts (62%), travelling (58%), and buying a car (32%). Article content However, when asked about budget management to respond to economic uncertainty and inflation, it appears Canadians are quite protective of their travel money, which came in fourth position of expenses Canadians say they would cut to make ends meet (41% ranked it as one of the top 3 choices, and only 18% as their top budget cut). Before cutting down on travel spends, respondents indicated that would first reduce restaurants (62%), entertainment (58%) and gift-giving (46%). In fact, travel comes in as the last experience-based expense people would trade-off for food on the table, or other utilities (clothing, 33%, transportation, 10%, groceries, 8%, utilities, 6%). Article content Additionally, 62 per cent of respondents indicated they would gladly reallocate funds from material purchases such as clothing, electronics, or furniture to fund a trip. Article content The survey also underscores the growing importance of travel in Canadians' lifestyles. For 32 per cent of respondents, travel is seen as a necessity – an essential part of their routine and something they could not live without. Another 46 per cent describe travel as a luxury, while 22 per cent identify it as a 'nice-to-have' but not crucial. Article content In fact, 67 per cent of respondents overall consider travel an investment in personal growth – a figure that rises significantly among those who view travel as essential (88%). Article content The survey also highlights clear generational differences in attitudes towards travel. Millennials, Gen X and Boomers were more likely to view travel as a necessity and a factor of success and personal growth, therefore prioritizing it over material goods. These groups also have a higher annual average income and are more likely to own a home. On the other hand, Gen Z, with an income under $100,000, still paying off debt, renting and saving to buy a home, are more likely to see travel as a luxury, but also more largely agreeing they would prioritize real estate over travel if it was more affordable. They tend to balance or prioritize material purchases. Article content 'Through generational realities and financial means, it is interesting to notice a strong appetite for investing in experiences despite economic uncertainties,' concluded Chelhot. 'Travel being prioritized over daily and more easily accessible entertainment spendings, such as restaurants, points to the financial commitment to mobility and adventure as a fuel for personal growth in other ways than the more traditional routes. As Canadians want to explore outside their homes, the survey is also a good reminder to work collectively within the industry to provide accessible and affordable travel options for all budgets, and notably younger generations.' Article content About the Survey Article content The survey, conducted by Arlington research team, was in field from March 12-17, 2025, and engaged a sample of 1,500 Canadians who have flown for business or leisure in the past two years. For comparison purposes only, a survey of this size would have a margin of error of +/- 3% at a confidence level of 95%.

Emergency crews continue to fight wildfire east of Churchill Falls
Emergency crews continue to fight a wildfire burning near Churchill Falls Thursday morning. In an early morning update, the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said that traffic is able to pass on the Trans-Labrador Highway, east of the community, after closing a stretch of the road Wednesday evening. The RNC says it will continue to monitor risk to public safety. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro says the fire continues to move east, away from the town, and that fire teams are mobilizing again in the morning. There was a brief power outage in the community Wednesday evening, along with towns in Labrador West. Hydro says the reason was because it had to switch the town's power distribution to another feeder after a pole line was damaged and taken out of service. The company says power lines into Labrador City and Wabush remain in service and it will continue to monitor the situation closely. An update is expected later on Thursday. Churchill Falls resident Robert Dawe posted videos of the fire on Facebook as the situation worsened Wednesday night. On Thursday morning, Dawe told CBC News that helicopters and waterbombers are active. "I was feeling sick to my stomach. My knees were weak. I was anxious, but I I felt that I needed to capture [this] as safely as I could," he said.
