Life insurance: Do I need it? Am I too young to get it? Should I be worrying about this now? Let’s take a look… https://www.apfv.ca/life-insurance-do-i-need-it-am-i-too-young-to-get-it-should-i-be-worrying-about-this-now-lets-take-a-look/ https://www.apfv.ca/life-insurance-do-i-need-it-am-i-too-young-to-get-it-should-i-be-worrying-about-this-now-lets-take-a-look/#respond Fri, 10 Jan 2020 00:58:50 +0000 https://www.apfv.ca/?p=174 […]]]> Benjamin Franklin stated that “there are only 2 certain things in this life and those are death and taxes” so why not prepare yourself in the most efficient way?

One thing that is for sure with life insurance is that the younger and healthier you are, the cheaper it is.

The fact that you are young and healthy will keep premiums low and will also allow you to buy a lot more insurance coverage than you may be able to obtain in a few years. This would allow you to obtain the necessary insurance coverage you presently need but also into your future.

Who should be looking at individual life insurance? Well, if you:

  • Are young, healthy single adult 
  • Have spouse or partner 
  • Own a business 
  • Own a house (**note that a life insurance obtained through a mortgage and an individual life insurance are not the same. Individual life insurance can offer you a better protection and benefit your family- not just the creditor) 
  • Are becoming parents or already have dependents 
  • Have any debts 
  • Own life insurance through your work (can be part of your group insurance you have through your employer). You may still be under-covered or left without an insurance if you change/quit jobs. 
  • Are an individual who wants to protect your wealth through tax advantage strategies possible with life insurance

There are many different types of insurance contracts that can be suited to your needs. So, if you are thinking about purchasing life insurance but you are still not sure or may have any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me!

Registered Education Savings Plan or RESP, did you know? https://www.apfv.ca/registered-education-savings-plan-or-resp-did-you-know/ https://www.apfv.ca/registered-education-savings-plan-or-resp-did-you-know/#respond Fri, 10 Jan 2020 00:43:42 +0000 https://www.apfv.ca/?p=166 […]]]> According to Statistic Canada, in 2015, 2 054 943 Canadians were enrolled in post secondary education in Canadian universities and colleges. But most importantly, almost 6 out 10 students rely on financial support from their parents, family or spouse to fund their current school year.

By opening and contributing to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) account while your child is young, you could receive grants from both Provincial & Federal governments helping you save for your children’s education. This can help them reduce financial barriers, improve their odd of attending post-secondary education and make it easier on your budget once they are in school.

A look at grants available (the following may vary according to family income):

• Canadian Education Savings Grant (CESG) the government will match 20% of any RESP contributions until the child turns 17 yrs old. This translate to additional 500$/yr to a lifetime grant limit of 7200$ per child.
+
• Quebec education Savings Incentive (QESI), the account can receive an amount equal to 10% of the net contributions paid into it, up to a maximum of $250/yr

Flavio Vani of Professional Association of Financial Services Advisors [PAFSA] is on Wealth Professional Canada’s Hot List of 2015. https://www.apfv.ca/flavio-vani-of-professional-association-of-financial-services-advisors-pafsa-is-on-wealth-professional-canadas-hot-list-of-2015/ https://www.apfv.ca/flavio-vani-of-professional-association-of-financial-services-advisors-pafsa-is-on-wealth-professional-canadas-hot-list-of-2015/#respond Tue, 19 May 2015 20:00:23 +0000 https://www.apfv.ca/?p=402 […]]]> New financial regulations always spark some reaction in the industry, and so it is the case with CRM2. Quebec’s leading association of independent advisors, the PAFSA, recently railed against the powers that be when it released a press release stating that it is “… disappointed with the new regulations. We were never consulted, and the regulators crushed us like a steamroller … We want politicians and regulators to join us at a round table to discuss the impact on advisors and on customers.” Anyone who has ever felt the pressure of the big banks owes a tip of the hat to PAFSA head Flavio Vani.
