This is a complete ripoff.

As an immigrant myself, the sound of earning in dollars felt like freedom. My relatives back home would boast about how previlege we were, if only they knew.
Sheesh… 😬

This $100 bill still shows 100 even though it’s only worth about $58 now. 😭

$100 in 1999 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $171.03 today, an increase of $71 over 25 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 2.17% per year between 1999 & today, producing a cumulative price increase of 71%.

This means that today’s prices are 1.7 times as high as average prices since 1999, according to Statistics Canada consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 58.5% of what it could buy back then.

In my entire lifetime the Canadian Dollar has lost 41.5% of its purchasing power.

I hope my relatives back home understands, I’m not so rich after all. Ouch.. 🫣

If you knew it was going to continue to go down what would you trade it for?

Life Insurance Underwriting Classes Explained 03/08/2024

How do I know if my insurance is expensive or not?

The answer is, health.

When you apply for any kind of insurance. It will go through underwriting. They will determine how risky you are.

The healthier you are the cheaper your insurance will be.

If not, then you are at risk of paying more than you should.

Why LIFE INSURANCE is NOT a cool product?

Why?

1. You cannot wear it on your wrist and say, it's Swiss made.

2. You cannot drive around town and say, it's German technology.

3. You cannot wear it on your arm and say, it's Italian leather.

Life insurance is not a cool product because you cannot brag about having one.

But when the time of crisis comes, the people in your life who matter the most, your spouse, your children, and your parents will be the one to brag about how responsible you were; about how you prepared for their future.

Educating is not simply providing financial product or solution,

Educating is helping to build new habits.

How to reduce your Insurance policy cost.

Doing this will help you save money and lower the cost of your Insurance.

Keeping your heart healthy by showing it some love, lead to long-term financial benefits for both individuals and insurance providers.

1) Smoking will spike up the cost of your insurances. So stop it!
2) Obesity is a red flag many underwriters look out for. Go to gym!
3) Stress can lead to depression and mental illness, providers can deem you risky. Get off social media! Take a break!
4) Alcohol consumption and fast foods leads to obesity, liver disease, and other questionable health issues. Getting coverage may give you difficulties.
5) Regular check up with your doctor helps live a healthier life. Doctors statements can also help underwriters and providers approve your application and maybe even give you lower cost or higher insurance coverage.

Being unhealthy without insurance can severely impact financial well-being due to high medical expenses, including emergency care, preventive services, and prescription medications. Additionally, it can lead to lost income, debt, bankruptcy, and limited access to timely and quality healthcare. Health insurance coverage is crucial for protecting individuals from the financial consequences of illness, injury, and medical emergencies.

YOU CAN START OVER AGAIN!

Don't be afraid to start over again when things did not go your way or work out as expected.

Sometimes a setback at work, a break up in a relationship, a failure in business or in life, can leave you broken and disappointed.

But don't even think about quitting or giving up now. It's never too late to start over again with a new mindset and positive energy.

It easy to replay in your mind how things did not work, how much you lost, what you are going through, how angry you were.

There's no amount of this conversation that is going to change anything.

Even though you are hurt and you may be feeling down, stop kicking yourself.

Pick yourself up. Face what has happened, and make the decision to start over again.

It allows you to face life’s uncertainties with the confidence that, in the unfortunate event of your demise, your beneficiaries will receive a financial benefit to help cover expenses like mortgage, education, or other financial obligations. This reassurance contributes to a sense of security and peace of mind for both you and your family.
