Our Six Step R.I.T.E Planning Process
R.I.T.E. = Retirement, Investment, Tax & Estate

1. R.I.T.E. planning clarifies the client’s present situation by collecting and assessing all relevant financial data including: assets & liabilities, tax returns, investments transactions, insurance policies, will, pension plans, etc.

2. R.I.T.E. planning helps the client identify their personal and financial goals and objectives. Our process clarifies both financial and personal values and attitudes for individuals and couples. These may include providing for children’s education, supporting elderly parents or relieving immediate financial pressures to help maintain the client’s current lifestyle and provide for retirement.

3. R.I.T.E. planning identifies financial problems that create barriers to achieving financial independence. Problem areas can include too little or to much insurance coverage or a high tax burden. The client’s cash flow may be inadequate, or the current investments may not be winning the battle with changing economic times.

4. R.I.T.E. planning provides written recommendations and alternative solutions. The length of the recommendations will vary with the complexity of the client’s individual situation, but they should always be structured to meet the client’s needs without undue emphasis on purchasing certain investment products.

5. R.I.T.E. planning only helps if the recommendations are put into action. Implementing the right strategy will help the client reach the desired goals and objectives. The R.I.T.E. financial advisor assists the client in executing the recommendations and/or coordinating the ex*****on of the recommendations with other knowledgeable professionals.

6. R.I.T.E. planning provides periodic review and revision of the client’s plan to assure that the goals are achieved. A client’s financial situation should be re-assessed at least once a year to account for changes in that person’s life and current economic conditions.

In my opinion, a TFSA - Tax Free Saving Account should be called a TFIA - Tax Free Investment Account. WHY? Because most investors deposit their money in a "Savings" Account and generate only 2% or maybe 4% if their lucky. Our TFSA's ranged from 8% to 12%.

DO YOU NEED LIFE INSURANCE?

Not everyone needs life insurance. But ask yourself these questions:
(1) Are you in a committed relationship?

(2) Do you have a Partner, Children or Parent that could be affected financially ... if you died?

(3) Do you have a mortgage? How many years left on the mortgage?

(4) Are your kids’ registered education savings plans (RESPs) large enough to fund their education?

(5) Would your family be OK without your income?

(6) How much money have you saved for retirement?
If you loved ones would benefit from a life insurance policy payout, then it’s worth requesting a quote. Some coverage is better than none!

6 STRATEGIES TO CREATE FINANCIALLY SAVVY KIDS

Are you preparing your kids for future financial literacy, the ability to understand & manage money effectively?

During your child’s life, you will love them unconditionally & make it your priority to provide them with the resources they need to grow up healthy, smart & successful. Financial literacy skills are what help you, & will help your kids, achieve financial goals, avoid debt, & retire comfortably. So, how can you help your kids be ready for the money decisions & challenges they will face in the future?

Here are just a few of the lessons you should consider sharing with your kids to help them enjoy a lifetime of financial literacy:

LEAD BY EXAMPLE: Show your kids how you practice responsible money habits, such as budgeting, saving, investing, & paying bills on time. Explain to them why you make certain money choices & how they affect your goals & values. Have honest & age-appropriate chats with them about money & its role in your life. Don't be shy to share your wins & losses, & what you learned from them.

TEACH BUDGETING SKILLS: Give your kids chances to handle their own money, such as an allowance, a gift, or a part-time job. Help them set up a simple budget that tracks their income & expenses & encourages them to save some money for short-term & long-term goals. Use online tools, apps, or games that make budgeting fun & easy for kids. You can also make a game out of budgeting, such as challenging them to see who can save the most money in a month, or who can spend the least on groceries.

ENCOURAGE SAVINGS & GOAL SETTING: Help your kids set realistic & specific goals, such as buying a new toy, going on a trip, or donating to a charity. Help them open a savings account at a bank, where they can deposit their money & earn interest. Match their savings or offer incentives to motivate them to save more. You can also make saving more fun by using a piggy bank, a jar, or a chart to visualize their savings and goals.

DISCUSS THEIR NEEDS & WANTS: Teach your kids the difference between needs & wants. Needs are things that are essential for survival, such as food, water, shelter, & clothing. Wants are things that are nice to have but not necessary, such as entertainment, hobbies, & luxuries. Help your kids prioritize their spending & align their goals & values. Challenge them to practice delayed gratification, the ability to wait for something better later instead of getting something now.

TEACH THE VALUE OF HARD WORK: Teach your kids the value of hard work & its rewards. Give them age-appropriate jobs or chores around the house & pay them a fair & consistent amount for their work. Encourage them to pursue their passions & talents, & support them in finding opportunities to earn money from them. Praise them, recognize them, or reward them for their hard work.

UNDERSTANDING THE VALUE OF INSURANCE: Explain to your kids how insurance works & why it is important. Show them examples of how insurance has helped you or others in your family or community in times of need. Include them in your insurance decisions, such as comparing different plans, options, & costs, & choosing the best one for your situation. Financial literacy skills are vital to long-term financial security & can benefit your kids throughout their lives. By teaching your kids financial literacy skills from an early age, you can help them be smart with money & avoid common financial mistakes. You can also help them understand the value of insurance, which can protect them from financial losses in case of unforeseen events. And don’t forget to have a little fun along the way!

Retirement Planning: “Play The Long Game”

“A retirement income plan should be based on planning to live, rather than planning to die."

WHY? (1) We are living longer and need to ensure we have enough money in our older years; and (2) Volatile markets, specifically the "Sequence of Returns" can severely deplete retirement savings.

While Annuities can provide guaranteed income, annuity rates are low, you can't access lump sums nor grow your investment savings.

We can provide Guaranteed Income for Life or age 120.
