This is just a simple reminder for anyone who feels a bit “lost-in-the-weeds” of their finances, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 🙅

Common reasons people end up in this situation are:

1. They don’t take it serious early enough.

2. They’re self-conscious about money, or just don’t like talking about it, so they procrastinate/avoid the harder conversations.

3. Trust Issues: perhaps they had a negative experience in the past with an advisor or situation, so they gave up hope that anyone could help them or understand them.

4. They’re “do-it-themselfer’s”. Lots of people can do it themselves and be okay, maybe even well-off. Others, not so much, and THAT IS OKAY. Just don’t be too proud to ask for help.

If any of these 🛎️ “ring a bell” 🛎️ to you, perhaps you’d like to make a change to get yourself “out of the weeds” and onto a clearer path? 🎢

I'm happy to help.

Life Insurance doesn't have to be used with the mindset that you have to die for anyone to benefit from it...

It can also be used as a really great "secret weapon" to generate wealth, grow your legacy, and help your loved ones... 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒

Especially your children! 🧑‍🍼

Juvenile Life Insurance is often overlooked... either you appreciate the idea and thought of it, or you don't... and that's okay! 👍

It is a layer of planning that a lot of my clients put in place for their kids, and it's something you should at least know about. 🧠

If you think Juvenile Life insurance could be worth a conversation for your planning, give me a call. 📲

Hey folks, in this Whiteboard Wednesday, I'm back after a brief hiatus to focus on the business. Today, we're diving into juvenile insurance, which pertains to individuals under the age of majority, typically 18 in most places. I want to emphasize the importance of understanding this topic as it can...

Do you, or someone you know, live with disabilities or illnesses that qualify for the Disability Tax Credit?

What if I told you there is an account made specifically for people who qualify for Disability Tax Credits, where they can receive additional Disability Savings Grants, as well as up to $20,000 in Disability Savings Bonds?

Registered Disability Savings Plans were introduced to Canadians in 2008, and allow Canadians to save and grow money, tax-deferred, for the beneficiary of an RDSP, to help them with life's future expenses.

If you or a loved one qualify for the Disability Tax Credit, perhaps an RDSP would be worth knowing more about!

Today, I discussed the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), a long-term savings option for individuals who qualify for the Canada Disability Tax Credit. It's important to note that while anyone can contribute to the RDSP, the beneficiary must be eligible for the tax credit. I highlighted the C...

Pumpkin Spice fever has officially begun... 💁‍♀️🧋

Like it or not, 🍂 fall is in the air 🍂 , crisp cool weather is upon us, and another season of home buying, moving or searching for that perfect retirement/vacation home will soon be coming to a close...

If you are like me, you probably want to make sure that you and your family can still afford to keep the roof over your head if something happened to you...

Even if you already have something in place, it's important to make sure that your coverage is still the right fit for you, and for your family.

When it comes to Creditor Protection compared to Independent Insurance, there are a few key factors you should know about, so that you can have peace of mind for you and your family, to make sure none of you will be left "out in the cold" if your ability to support them was damaged.

If this is worth a conversation, give me a call!

In this Whiteboard Wednesday, I discussed the differences between creditor insurance and independent insurance for life, critical illness, and disability coverage, particularly in relation to mortgages and loans. Creditor insurance is often bundled and may only cover the balance owed for a limited t...

There is a lot of talk nowadays around "low-fees", "maximizing returns", "zero commission", etc...

So.... what are Self-Managed investments?

How can you access them?

What might be important to consider when you compare self-managed investmenting to having a professional help you out?

As an advisor I am quite indifferent on the topic. 🤷‍♂️

If you feel comfortable and enjoy doing your own thing 😁

That is 1️⃣ 0️⃣ 0️⃣ % your choice!

Just remember that there is value in advice and be sure to do your research carefully.

In this Whiteboard Wednesday, I dive into the concept of self-managed investing, which is ideal for those who want to take control of their investment decisions based on personal research and goals. While you gain more control over what you buy, sell, and hold, it also means taking on more responsib...

If you're like most people, you often feel like you are just 💸 "Throwing your money away" 💸

So, how can you stop feeling like you're paying for a lot of 🤷‍♂️"What If's" 🤷‍♂️..... And trade it for peace-of-mind??

Did you know that your Critical Illness Insurance can be there for you, whether you get diagnosed with a critical illness or not??

If this is something you're curious about, today's WBW shares a couple of ideas that may be worth considering!

P.S. If you already have term Critical Illness Insurance right now, great job! You are ahead of the majority of Canadians... But it might be worth asking your advisor what your options are for converting your policy!

I'm often asked, "Tyson, how could I help my future generations without 'breaking the bank'⁉️"

Often times my 1st respone is...

Maybe a Registered Education Savings Plan could help??

RESP's are great for people who:
Are on a budget ✔️
Want to make sporadic/random contributions ✔️
Enjoy the idea of having grants to help their money grow ✔️
Want to help their kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews/friends etc... ✔️

If an RESP could be a good fit for helping the
future generations that you care most about, give me a shout!

STRIKE THREE!! YOU'RE OUT!! ⚾

Anyone who appreciates the game of baseball knows there aren't many pitches more effective than a nasty curveball.... We can't help but appreciate it's delivery, even if it's against the team we cheer for.

You know what doesn't enjoy a good curveball?? Your life, your income, and your ability to live and earn it.

Accidents happen, illnesses happen, and reality is, there are curveballs thrown to us when we least expect it.

Developing or falling victim to a disability is:
Emotionally draining 🫠
Physically exhausting 🥵

So why add Financial Hardship to the strike zone⁉️

If there were a way to create peace of mind and avoid the possibility of financial stress if you became disabled, would it be worth a conversation?

The time has come...

When you first started, you never dreamt you'd get to this point, yet here you are... you've reached your limits!!

TFSA - 💯 ⚠️ FULL ⚠️
RRSP - 💯 ⚠️ FULL ⚠️

But that doesn't mean you should stop... So how do you keep the momentum rolling...??

Perhaps Non-Registered investments could be your next move!

Liquidity ✔️
Flexibility ✔️
Invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc..?? ✔️ ✔️ ✔️

What if your paycheck got sick...?

You're living life, enjoying some vacation time with family, and talking about plans for your next big home renovation.

All of a sudden, you dont feel so well, you get a pit in your stomach and that future of big plans and happy times takes a turn you never saw coming. One that will test your physical strength to extremes you've never felt and cause emotional stress you've never endured before. On top of all of that, it will keep you away from work for an extended time, which will quickly have a negative impact on your ability to support your family financially.

Now Pause...

What if I told you there may be a way you can at least ease the pain and added stress of that last part? Would it be worth a conversation??
