How much life insurance is the right amount? Let’s set up some time to discuss the details such as how long you need it and what kind might be right for you. You can walk out feeling more confident and educated on your options.


Script: How much life insurance is the right amount? Simply put, the amount of life insurance you need depends on your unique situation. A good place to start is to figure out how much life insurance you may need… how long you need it for… and what kind might be right for you. Let’s look at an example: Jackie is 33 years old… and has two kids. She has four goals for her life insurance: Leave money to her family to pay off her mortgage. Top up her kids’ registered education savings plans. Pay off her student loans. And, replace her income for 10 years. Based on these goals, Jackie is looking at a 1-million-dollar life insurance policy. If she died, her family could choose to use the insurance payout to: Put 300-thousand dollars toward the mortgage. Add 60-thousand dollars to the kids’ RESPs. Pay off her 40-thousand-dollar student loan. And… cover the family’s ongoing costs with the remaining 600-thousand dollars. How much do life insurance payments cost per month? In Jackie’s case, a 1-million-dollar, 30-year term policy for a non-smoking, 33-year-old woman… could cost about 80-dollars per month. For a man of the same age, it’s closer to 110-dollars per month. How long do you need your coverage to last? For a younger person… or a couple with debt and a mortgage, a 30-year policy or longer may be suitable. For someone in their forties… with little debt and a small mortgage… a 20-year policy might be the right fit. What are your options? Your employer may offer life insurance through your employee benefits. But… it may not be enough. And you can lose that coverage if you change employers. You may want to consider more life insurance. In which case, you have two types to choose from: Term life insurance. And… permanent life insurance. Any amount of life insurance can help give your loved ones some financial security when you die. Your unique situation will inform the amount and type of insurance you need. For more tips and tools, visit sunlife.ca.

If you're passing the family farm or business to one child, how do you ensure the others still receive a meaningful inheritance without forcing a land sale, taking on debt, or creating family conflict?
The answer is life insurance.
It’s one of the most powerful (and overlooked) estate planning tools out there. Not only is it the most equitable way to transfer wealth and preserve your legacy, it’s also a great way of ensuring all your kids feel seen, valued, and provided for.
Our most successful clients (especially farm and business families) are already doing this. The best part is? It’s working!
Let’s make sure your estate plan does what you actually want it to do. Head to the link in my bio to book a meeting.

Canada / USA relations are the number one question / concern for most of our clients right now. There was just a 30 day pause announced for tariffs for Canada and Mexico and I imagine there will be far more back and forth before things are settled.
Markets are reacting, however it is important to keep your eye on your long term goals rather than daily fluctuations.
