Some scary numbers - 41% if British Columbians not prepared for unexpected expenses. This is reality. I see it everyday. More worrisome in the context of today's volitile economy and government clawbacks. I love helping people set a path of financial security. There are many options and strategies to provide for unexpected expenses and events. If you know anyone who is struggling or who could benefit from independent financial advice, I'd be happy to help.1 year ago

We always make sure the men/husbands have life insurance, and ignore the women. I think we all need to think of how much it would cost us to keep the house running smoothly without "the woman" around the house.
I am reminded of a short thought: "If the kids get sick, the household runs smoothly; if Dad gets sick, the household runs smoothly; if "Mom" gets sick, everything falls apart!"
