Why its important for your physical and financial health to work with a Financial Planner with their CFP designation.

Working with a Financial Planner

According to a survey by Leger for FP Canada May 21 – 23, 2021, 6 in 10 Canadians are not working with a financial planner and are not living financially stress-free.1

Are you 50 years old and working with a financial planner? If you're not, there's a good chance that finances may be a source of stress. Do you want a better plan as you head into your retirement?

It may feel stressful, but purchasing life insurance and/or critical illness insurance can help you take care of your family in case something happens (which can be a stressful thought in itself). The biggest impact of financial stress is health issues.2

Do you want to join the first group (4 in 10 who work with a financial planner) and lower your financial stressors?3

A three-year study of Canadians found that individuals with comprehensive financial plans feel:

  • More on track with their financial goals and retirement plans
  • More confident that they can deal with financial challenges in life
  • Better able to indulge in their discretionary spending goals
  • More on track with financial affairs4
  • More able to save in the last five years
