What do you do all day, Jess?

Well, here is some insight - this client has a Universal Life Insurance policy and was curious if it's suitable, if we could save her money, or if there was something out there better for her.

Spoiler - there IS definitely better options for her.

We can:
1. Put her into a policy where her premiums don't increase every year
2. Save her $55 a year on a policy fee
3. Put all her children's coverage onto the same Child Rider which will also save her money
4. Help her savings get properly invested into a solid mutual fund and save her money on management fees, accounting fees, and potentially double her ROR%
5. We can follow the rules of investing and properly diversify her portfolio to protect her savings against Market Downs
.. the list goes on

Too many people buy things to impress people they don't even like. And they end up drowning in debt because of it.
Make sure you're purchasing items for your own enjoyment, not to just impress other people.
Ask yourself "If I was literally the only human being on this planet would I still even want this? Or am I buying this because I want to look or appear a certain way to my friends, neighbours, family, or followers?"

💰 Financial happiness isn’t found by saving every penny for the future, or by spending every cent in the now. 🚘 🤑

It lives in the middle, where you enjoy today while still building tomorrow. 🧘 🧘‍♀️

I personally feel like I've found it and it's lovely. 🥰

If you'd like, I'd be willing to help guide you, too.

💸 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED WHERE YOUR MONEY IS LEAKING?

Most people don’t realize how much they’re losing every single month on things they don’t even use, overpay for, or forgot about.

Now here’s the good news 👇
📢 The new CRTC ruling means Canadians can switch phone and internet providers WITHOUT paying extra fees to activate, change, or cancel.

That means:
✔ No more getting stuck in bad plans
✔ No more paying penalties just to save money
✔ More control over your monthly expenses

💡 This is your opportunity to plug the leaks.

If we could find an extra $50–$100+ per month in your budget without changing your lifestyle… would that matter?

👉 Take the 5-Minute Budget Leak Audit and see where your money is slipping through the cracks.

Things are happening in the world ... as a result, markets have gone down a bit - should you pull your investments? 🤔

Well, let's ask ourselves this: If we own a house and the housing market crashes, do we get eagerly excited to sell while the value of our homes are down? Why not? Or is that perhaps the smart opportunity to buy?

If we don't sell the house when the market is down, have we actually "lost" our money? Why not?

Answer: Because you still OWN it. Only the value has temporarily gone down.

Believe it or not, but the housing market fluctuates a LOT, we just don't get quarterly statements showing us the value - but overtime we see the values of our properties going up.

Your investment accounts are the same. :)
