DC Foresight Partner Colleen Sutherland was recently featured in The Globe and Mail, giving insights to families on how to be financially prepared if a serious illness suddenly affected their income.
It's a situation she understands deeply, both as an advisor and a cancer survivor. She speaks about how planning ahead allowed her to lean on her workplace benefits, disability coverage, and critical illness insurance to focus on treatment and recovery.
That experience is why she encourages clients to get specific: know your essentials, know exactly what your coverage pays and when, and make sure your will, powers of attorney and beneficiaries are current before you ever need them.
"The goal is to co-ordinate your savings, benefits, insurance and legal planning so that, on your toughest day, you are not trying to figure everything out for the first time."
