Expecting the Unexpected ☑️

An emergency fund is about having options when life changes suddenly: a layoff, a health issue, an unplanned repair.

A general guideline is three to six months of essential expenses set aside somewhere accessible. The idea of having accessible savings is about building toward something so a setback stays a setback instead of turning into a financial crisis.

If you don't have one yet, you're not behind, you're just getting started. Even automating a small, consistent transfer each payday builds real momentum over time, and it's one of the most valuable habits you can build heading into the fall.

If your financial plan doesn't currently include a cushion for the unexpected, let's build one together, before you need it. Contact FFG today:

With housing still a stretch for a lot of first-time buyers, more parents and grandparents are asking the same question: how can I actually help, beyond just handing over cash? 🏠

One of the most effective tools available right now is the First Home Savings Account (FHSA). It's built specifically for first-time homebuyers, and it works a bit like a hybrid of an RRSP and a TFSA: contributions are tax-deductible, growth inside the account is tax-free, and qualifying withdrawals toward a first home come out tax-free too. For a young adult early in their career, that combination can make a real difference in how quickly they reach a down payment.

If you're the one looking to help, there are a few ways this can work. Some parents contribute directly to a child's FHSA. Others choose to gift funds directly or explore other ways to support a child or grandchild’s homeownership goals. For grandparents, it can be part of a broader conversation about early, values-driven giving.

The right approach depends on your own financial picture as much as theirs. It shouldn't come at the expense of your retirement plan. That's exactly the kind of conversation we like having with families: how to help the next generation without putting your own plan at risk.

If you're thinking about how to support a child or grandchild's first home, let's talk through your options.

A well-organized estate plan is about more than having a will. It is also about making sure the people you trust can find the information they may need.

Our Legacy Toolkit helps you organize important details such as; financial accounts, insurance information, key contacts, passwords and digital access, and more.

It is available as a digital booklet under Financial Tools on our website, or you can contact our office to request a complimentary physical copy.

Taking the time to organize this information now can help reduce confusion, stress, and unnecessary delays for your loved ones later.

Retirement planning tends to focus on how much you need to save 💵

Less attention goes to how your expenses actually shift once you get there 📈

One factor to consider is healthcare. Once workplace benefits end, costs like prescriptions, dental, and vision often move from "covered" to "out of pocket," and those costs tend to rise with age.

Home maintenance is another factor worth planning for. A good rule of thumb is to budget roughly 1% of your home's value each year for repairs and upkeep, and that doesn't take a break just because you've retired.

Then there's the more enjoyable side; with more time on your hands, spending on travel, hobbies, and time with family often increases too, which is a good thing as long as it's planned for.

None of this is meant to be discouraging. It's meant to be useful. A retirement plan that accounts for rising healthcare costs, home upkeep, and the lifestyle you actually want tends to hold up a lot better than one built only around today's expenses.

If your retirement plan hasn't been stress-tested against these kinds of shifts, it might be worth a second look.

Not all investment income is taxed the same way, and understanding the difference can be just as important as your actual rate of return 📈

✔️In a non-registered account, your investment income usually falls into one of a few buckets — interest, dividends, or capital gains — and the CRA taxes each one differently.

✔️Interest income, like what you'd earn from a savings account or GIC, is taxed at your full rate. It feels like the "safe" option, but it's actually the least tax-friendly kind of income.

✔️Dividends from Canadian companies get a bit of a break through a tax credit, though the calculation is more complicated than it sounds — worth understanding if you also receive other income-tested benefits.

✔️Capital gains are the most tax-friendly of the three: only half is taxable, and only once you sell. That gives you some real control over timing.

The goal isn't to chase whichever type looks best on paper — your investment strategy should always come first. But knowing how each type is taxed helps you make smarter calls as your portfolio grows.

Curious how your current investments stack up? We're always happy to talk it through.

Here's something that catches a lot of new retirees off guard: it's not just how much tax you pay in retirement that matters — it's how much income shows up on your tax return in the first place 👀

OAS clawbacks catch a lot of retirees off guard. Once your net income crosses a certain threshold, the government starts recovering a portion of your Old Age Security — and that threshold is often lower than people expect, especially once RRIF withdrawals or investment income get added in.

The good news: with the right timing and income-splitting strategy, it's often avoidable or at least reducible.

If you're within a few years of retirement, this is a conversation worth having before the number is set in stone. With thoughtful structuring, the right sequence of registered account withdrawals, and an understanding of how each income type is reported, many retirees can reduce the risk of losing benefits they've counted on.

If you're approaching retirement or already drawing down your accounts, it's worth having a conversation about how your income sources are structured, not just what they're earning.

Power of Attorney isn’t just something to consider later in life ⏰
It can help make sure trusted people are able to step in if an illness or injury leaves you unable to manage important decisions yourself.

There are two key types to understand:

Power of Attorney for Property - Allows someone you appoint to manage financial matters on your behalf, including bills, banking, investments, and other property-related decisions.

Power of Attorney for Personal Care - Allows someone you appoint to make decisions involving health care, housing, safety, nutrition, and other areas of your personal care if you become incapable.

For our purposes, a valid Power of Attorney for Property would generally be required before someone could manage or discuss another person’s financial accounts with us.

Choosing the right person matters just as much as having the documents in place. Your attorney should be trustworthy, organized, willing to act in your best interests, and supported by a backup in case they are unable to serve.

A Power of Attorney complements your will—it does not replace it. Together, these documents can help reduce confusion and provide greater clarity for your family.

We’re happy to explain how these pieces may fit within your broader financial and estate plan and refer you to a legal professional to prepare the appropriate documents.
