One of our favourite parts of this episode is the discussion about life insurance and how many Canadians are underinsured without realizing it. A few quotes that stood out:
“A lot of young Canadians with kids… have too little life insurance, not too much.”
“Group insurance makes people think the box is checked but for the most part it's grossly deficient.”
“Mortgage insurance is the ‘do you want fries with that’ offer that came with your mortgage. It's a decreasing amount of insurance and it pays the bank on what you owe. If your family needs money, they are going to have to borrow it if you don't have other insurance elsewhere.”
Powerful reminders that life insurance isn’t just about numbers, it’s about protecting the people you care about most. ❤️
