Having conversations about tough issues is a key part of personal finance (and life). Life insurance is one of those tough conversations to have.
Why do I have life insurance? I believe in protecting the downside. My wife Heather and I want our children, Charlie and Lily, to have the same lifestyle whether we’re both alive to share in the experience of raising them or not. Should the unthinkable happen to either of us, we want the financial impact to be minimal. We want our family to continue with the things they love, like being active in sports, music and other activities, going on vacations, the opportunity to attend the school(s) they choose, and much more. All without the worry of having enough money to do so, because we all know one of the hardest jobs in Canada is that of a single parent without sufficient financial resources.
In our experience, very few people need or even want life insurance, they simply want what life insurance can do.
What do you believe? Who is most important to you? If the unthinkable happened to you, would you want your spouse and children to have the same, better, or a worse lifestyle than they have today?
If you said “the same” or “better,” having a strategy in place to replace your income is what we specialize in. Life insurance is usually the most cost efficient way to make that happen. What if we could accomplish this for you with no out of pocket cost? It is possible.
Does what you believe align with your current reality? To determine your current reality, we’ll help audit your current coverage. It’s impossible to achieve a goal (providing for your family) if you don’t know your starting point (your current coverage details).
Remember: Knowledge isn't power; it's potential power. Execution trumps knowledge any day of the week. Get covered today while you’re still young and healthy.
Our commitment to you and your family:
1. The best thing we can do for you is to ask really good questions, and listen. What really matters is what you want to happen if you live too long, die too soon, or get sick or disabled along the way. We’ll ask the right questions to determine what your wants are and reverse engineer a plan/strategy to help you achieve exactly that.
2. Our goal: No out of pocket cost. Do you hate life insurance or do you simply not like paying for it? If life insurance was free, how much would you have? We’ll work with you to help you find the money to pay for your coverage so it feels like it’s free. If we can’t deliver on this promise, don’t hire us.
3. We’ll use technology and the right insurance product(s) to make the process as simple, quick, and easy as possible.
Did you know most mortgage life insurance policies automatically decrease your coverage amount as your mortgage balance decreases, BUT the premium/cost stays the same? Why pay for decreasing life insurance coverage when you don’t have to?
