First and foremost everyone needs a will. Don’t know a good lawyer? I am happy to recommend a few that we work with. As far as the financial planning with estate planning, a key focus should be put on efficiency in which the funds will be paid out to your loved ones. Which in turn minimizes the amount of work that needs to be done with to pay the funds out, the taxes associated with your death, and the more we can bypass the estate through named beneficiaries the better. The process is easy and actually kind of fun, but if your someone with money in traditional banking institutions we can guarantee that we can make the process more efficient.
Here we are happy to work with you so that you are able to give what you’d like to the organizations that you have been apart of.
Insurance should be apart or at bare minimum a consideration in everyone’s financial plans. Insurance should be thought of as a blanket, its goal is to keep us comfortable. It’s true that not everyone needs blankets but most of us enjoy being comfortable and insurance gives us that security.
Don’t like the blanket analogy? Let’s show that Canadian pride…insurance is your defence in hockey. It can be purely defensive or have some offensive capabilities. Either way you’ll experience a time when you wish your defence was a little stronger. The concept of self insuring is a choice and in most cases it is one that occurs because no one took the time to educate the consumer on the options available to them. Yes, there’s a plethora of insurance and insurance types in the market, and it is easy to experience an insurance overload and not know exactly what your contract says. And that’s where I come in. It is a privilege to be insurable and insured and not a guarantee.
It is important as a planner that we work together and discuss your vision. For us, it is important that we then take that information and create efficient financial plans that are flexible so they can do more than one thing, and take the fewest amount of resources to get there.
So the hexagon is made to represent the efficiency of bees and the shape. For those who are curious, cells that honey bees use in there colonies to store larva (baby bees), honey and pollen. The shape has been shown by mathematician Thoman Hales in a mathematical proof known as the Honeycomb Conjecture, to be most efficient shape they can build. It minimizes the space between the cells and maximizes the space of the cell available to store honey.
For context, I enjoy beekeeping in my spare time and prior entering the financial industry, I owned and operated a beekeeping company. This is what lead me to be inspired by the shape of the hexagon and how I relate it to Financial Fost.
Also, I often give a gift of my honey to my new clients!
The computer software and the accountants can help to sort these out. Our financial well-being is integrated and influences both our physical and mental well-being. The goal of financial planning should be that you are well and free to focus on you and whatever is important to you. While i believe everyone should be financially literate, there is so much more to life than numbers. Financial planning involves discussion, people planning; it’s life, dreams, goals and sometimes a shot of reality. It is a combination of the knowledge government benefits, government registered plans, insurance contracts, taxation knowledge, investment options, your vision and commitment level.
Financial Fost’s goal is committed to keeping you working towards your vision while providing you with flexibility should your vision change.
