Happy New Year and those resolutions January 1 2024

 

 

 

With every New Year comes the proverbial resolution for many. Whether the resolution encompasses quitting a bad habit, tightening ones financial purse strings or looking to tighten ones waist belt, we have all sworn on the first of January that we would either say good bye or say hello to a change in our behavior.

I have made a few resolutions over my 60 or so years of coherent existence, but truth be told, I am not real big on them. Not that resolutions are a bad thing. Far from it. The turning of a New Year can be the stepping stone for a positive change in one’s life.

For me however, I am the kind of person that once I make up my mind a change is in order, I don’t wait for January 1st, I just do it. I think it’s the way my brain works. If I make a New Year’s resolution, and then break it, I spiral into a deep self-loathing. In some way however, if I break a promise made on some arbitrary date like April 12th or whatever, it doesn’t hurt so bad.

That should tell you a little about myself. Mainly that I, like many of you, can break self-promises like a New Year’s resolutions on occasion, and when I do, that guilty feeling slowly creeps into your head,  which is no Bueno for nobody. (Bad grammar I know but it sounded good).

That said, for many, New Year’s resolutions can go a long way in making positive changes in one’s life and if adhered to, can really make a difference, whatever the endeavor.

Weight loss might allow one to have a longer and healthier life, a more comfortable existence and possibly save money on the medical bills.

Quitting a bad habit like smoking or excessive drinking obviously has many benefits, both for the participant and perhaps even for his friends or family.

Many resolutions can revolve around a financial change of some sort and these types of resolutions can have many positive changes for the individual as well as their family, if they have one.

Usually money problems involve spending too much, not really being aware of where the spending is going, or not having enough money in the first place. Derivations around this area might include wanting to find new ways to make more money, whether it be working longer hours or working more efficiently, or even getting a new job or starting a business.

Whereas a resolution like losing some weight has the direct benefit of looking and being healthier, improving ones finances can have multiple benefits. Since a financial goal usually involves making more, spending less, or even saving a little more or starting a retirement account, adhering to a resolution that involves money can better a person’s life in many ways.

If financial improvements are successful, it can improve one’s self-esteem, allow more time to be spent doing things one enjoys, such as traveling or hobbies, spending more time with loved ones, or something as simplistic as being able to buy more stuff. In certain cases, accomplishing a financial goal could even mean just putting food on the table, or putting more food on the table.

Since the number one cause of marriage problems centers around finances, and with recent inflation biting into finances more and more, addressing financial challenges can save marriages and no doubt, one could even go so far as to save lives.

My wife and I, upon receiving a $750 PG&E bill one month, staunchly made and kept to a “Kill a Watt” program to reduce our power consumption. Successfully reducing our costs by about 20%, we not only saved money, we help save something far more grandiose. Our planet. And doing that no doubt improved, albeit in a small way, the health of those we share the planet with.

Now that’s a resolution we all could easily get behind.

In conclusion, the turning of the New Year can give us new hope, a new outlook, and a reason to assess where we are and where we want to go. If the turning of the year gives some people a reason to make a change, and helps them stick to it, all the better.

Happy New Year to all of you.

Insurance can protect you and your family from undue hardship. Some life insurance policies also provide tax-advantaged savings that you can draw on to achieve goals like buying a house or retiring comfortably. I have access to a variety of insurance products that can help meet your security planning needs. No matter your personal situation—if you’re single or in a family; a professional or a seasonal employee; an executive or small business owner—we will work together to design a customized plan.

  • Life
  • Medicare
  • Long-term care
  • Fire Insurance
  • Auto
  • Business
  • Long Term Care
  • Liabilty
  • Event Liability
  • Annuities for income and growth

A Word about Life insurance:

In the event of death, life insurance may offer surviving family members financial security. As a tax-free lump sum payment, it can pay for final expenses and debts, as well as provide income for the deceased’s dependents.

 

The advantages of life insurance include:

An instant estate for your loved ones at a time when funds are most needed

  • Death benefits that are almost always non-taxable for named beneficiaries
  • Avoid probate costs if you name a beneficiary other than your estate
  • Potentially offer your loved ones creditor protection through some life insurance plans
  • Build tax-advantaged capital for retirement purposes or provide liquid savings through some permanent life insurance plans

Long-term Care, Disability and Critical Illness insurance, Lifetime income strategies and Medicare:

Help protect one of your most valuable assets – your income – from unexpected events through long-term care, disability and critical illness insurance.

Income is important for both current financial obligations (e.g. grocery bills and mortgage payments) and for future financial security (e.g. planning for your children’s education or for retirement). Just think what might happen if you suddenly lost your income stream through a long-term illness or disability.

Long-term care and disability insurance products help protect your ability to earn an income, which can be affected if you are afflicted by a disability or other condition.

Questions about Medicare? 

I can help navigage the programs.

I can also help you choose the long-term care and disability insurance products that provide advantages like:

  • May assist in transfer of assets. 
  • Help loved ones 
  • Assist with paying fixed expenses for your business if you become disabled
  • Support the buy-out of a disabled partner’s share of a business.

Critical illness insurance and Medicare Policies

Suffering a critical illness is distressing for both you and your family. Help ease the burden through insurance that will reduce financial stresses and can complement disability and life insurance protection needs. By helping pay for the additional expenses often associated with a critical illness or condition, insurance offers you, your family, and if applicable, your business, added financial security—so you can focus on recovery.

The advantages of critical illness insurance can include:

  • Coverage for up to 22 critical illnesses or conditions
  • An initial lump-sum benefit you can use however you wish—from making mortgage payments to seeking medical treatment outside Canada
  • Home-care costs during illness and recovery periods
  • Even if you’re not disabled from working, you may receive payment
  • The ability to provide a return of premium benefit (optional)
  • Individuals who cannot obtain disability insurance in some cases still qualify for critical illness coverage (e.g. a non-income earning spouse)
  • Medicare Policies and information. Let me walk you through the best options for your situation

Contact me today to determine whether critical illness insurance fits into your financial security plan.

 

There are also new “hybrid” plans available that combine the benefits of life insurance or annuities with long term care coverage and at a cost that may be more affordable than you think. Contact me today so we can assess your needs and develop the best strategies for your specific situation to give you the peace of mind you require and protect your family and loved ones.
