- Estate, Money and Retirement Planning – Part 2- Wealthy people have boring financial lives but, have “exciting personal lives”. Which would you prefer?????? Less fortunate people are constantly struggling with bills, or worried about their current money situation and plans, while their personal lives are on hold waiting for financial success. Therefore, what’s the challenge?? There are so many needs for your money. How do you divide your limited income to do everything at the same time? AND Financial products have evolved into complex financial tools each with strengths and weaknesses. There are so many the question arises, “What is right for you and your family”? AND Tax laws are complex, change one thing and recalculate to see what is best. NET AFTER TAX – YIKES!!!!!!!!!! The program and goals are implemented to build and manage your short and long term plan.

Therefore, please bear with me through the boring parts ++++++++ I promise we will get to the fun parts and end with you having enthusiasm towards your life with the belief that “it CAN happen”.
- Now that the introduction has been completed we can move on to more important things. I wrote the following years ago and after re-reading my words I feel this next write up could be viewed as a little harsh. It was written with “waking up” folks – folks who have the sense that “nothing will happen to me syndrome.” When we discuss Estate, Money and Retirement Planning it’s just that, a “PLAN” Let’s discuss briefly preparing a financial plan – as mentioned, its just that, “A PLAN”. A plan, a thought out strategy, thinking ahead ++++++++ a system, processes+++++++choose the right words that make sense to you +++++ to manage YOUR MONEY and retirement plans. Money and Insurances can be very complicated and few planners have received ANY training on the subject. This is NOT a good combination! Learning by trial and error leads to misconceptions, which often result in disappointments, and because your money and retirement plans are extremely important to you, when something goes wrong, it leads to hard feelings, bitter disappointment, FEAR+++++ and a desire to pass the blame. The TRUTH of the matter is that “nobody has more control over your money and retirement plans than you do – there’s no one else to blame for you INACTIONS of your goals – thus, it’s your fault for not doing proper planning. As soon as you accept this, you have a chance. The Law says, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” – this also applies to you money and retirement plans. Did you know that 85% of Canadians with a net worth over $1,000.000 became millionaire’s by saving a little at a time. Anyone in Canada can be a millionaire, it just requires the continuous application of simple concepts and time. “Get rich quick” strategies can sound seductive and who isn’t intrigued by the notion. 85% of Canadian millionaires did it the way I am going to show you. It is not sexy, in fact it is kind of boring, but it “works for everyone”, every time. I sometimes use the analogy of driving on icy and wintery roads VS cruising down a highway on a sunny day. One you’re in constant fear and continuously correcting to avoid imminent disaster ++++++ very busy and not making much progress. The other, one finger on the steering wheel fighting boredom, and making great progress. In closing this session I just would like to add that I would prefer you move ahead looking through the front windshield and not the rear view mirror. To Be Cont’d
