The Power of Saving ft. Joe Canuck

#SunLifeFinancial, #TorontoRaptors, #BoysandGirlsClubsofCanada, and #NBACanada recently unveiled an exciting health and wellness program, inspiring Canadian youth to take charge of their health to prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes. Yesterday was day one of the six week program - Draft Day!

Canadas finance ministers have made some tweaks to CPP. Check out the changes below.

I post a lot of information regarding health costs in retirement because I believe many Canadians are unprepared and uneducated about the financial impacts. 24 hr/day care for a Personal Support Worker or Companion to help with meals, homemaking and personal care can cost up to $24,000 per month! Dont wait! Speak to an advisor, today, to plan for these costs in retirement.

Renters rejoice! New study finds that homeownership doesnt build wealth. "On average, renting and reinvesting wins in terms of wealth creation regardless of property appreciation, because property appreciation is highly correlated with gains in the traditional financial asset classes of stocks and bonds..

Although the Liberals are planning to increase amount of long term care beds in Ontario, it's not enough. I speak with so many pre-retirees and retirees who think that they don't need to prepare themselves for deteriorating health or feel that the government will take care of them. "It noted 32,000 seniors across Ontario 3,200 alone in Hamilton and Burlington are already on a waiting list for long-term care; and the provincial seniors population expected to double to 4.6 million the next 25 years." I cant stress how important it is to have this conversation with an advisorIm here to help.

Most people I speak to feel that the government or their work disability coverage will take care of them if they become critically ill. However, this article demonstrates why many Canadians may not be able to withstand financial impacts from a critical illness. Make sure you have a conversation with your advisor on how to plan for these unexpected health events.

It's that time of year again! The #JDRF Revolution Ride to Defeat Diabetes is a high-energy stationary cycling event taking place in cities across Canada.
