Review Your financial road map
Is it time to review your financial roadmap?
You’re invited to attend a webinar on Review your financial roadmap
During this session, you will learn:
• The importance of having a financial plan
• The impacts of a non-controllable event such as COVID-19
• Tools and resources available
A Financial plan is based on the financial pyramid. There are many components to help us to reach our financial goals to keep our focus on our main objectives.
• Here are the elements you have to consider in developing a financial roadmap, in the form of a pyramid...all built on a solid base with a good financial roadmap
• Please address the bottom items of the pyramid before moving to the top of the pyramid. This ensures you have a strong base.
• Some events you control, but there are others over which you have no control (e.g. dying prematurely, suffering a critical illness, etc.)
• Controllable events are those like investing in RRSPs, buying a home, reducing debt, putting aside emergency cash, education savings
