The government is proposing a one-time payment to help low-income renters. If legislation passes as drafted, this benefit would be available to renters who:
- have an adjusted net income for 2021 of $35,000 or less for families, or $20,000 or less for individuals
- pay at least 30 per cent of their adjusted net income on rent for their own principal residence in Canada

This brings me to a myth I hear all the time about insurance.
"It's too expensive."
No, it is not.
Here's what an insurance policy does for your clients:
1. It diversifies their wealth. This might be the only remaining free lunch out there.
2. It optimizes their wealth by reducing long-term taxes, as insurance policies are tax-exempt.
3. It shifts risk away from families at a low cost to someone willing to take on that risk.
4. It makes the estate planning process easier for your beneficiaries. Life insurance policies pay out expediently to the heirs, bypassing the estating process, which means less hassle and faster money.
These are all enormous benefits to our clients.
"If you present insurance positively and showcase its benefits, you will find clients will stop seeing insurance as a cost and treat it as an asset. It is well priced and has massive value for my family. "

Stick to Your Plan

market

The case for diversification
It is nearly impossible to predict what class will generate the highest returns in any given year. Investors benefit from
diversification and reduce their risk by allocating to a variety of asset classes. A strong financial plan will incorporate
investments into different asset classes that react differently to ensure investors reduce their overall risk.
