Term Insurance -Cheaper by the Dozen

My grandfather owned a bakery and he referred to a box of 15 donuts as a baker’s dozen. 

When it comes to life insurance in Canada, I guess the same holds true. When looking at the premium for $225,000 for a female non- smoker at age 30 with 10-year term insurance, the premium was $18.83 per month with a common carrier. However, for the same person, we increased the benefit to $250,000 and the premium decreased to $12.60 per month.  

That’s a 32% decrease in premium with an increase of 11% in coverage. 

For a male of the same age, for $225,000 of 10-year term insurance, the monthly premium was $23.69 per month and the $250,000 premium was $16.65 per month.

My grandfather would have been proud. The economies of scale are working on your side here!

Summer is not officially over until September 21 st . However, “back to school” week is a sure sign of the fall! The fall is a busy time in our financial planning office, as people seem to use this time of year to tidy up many small items concerning everything financial. It might also be a good time of year for you to do the same, especially if you aren’t in this “fall time” habit.

How to Choose a Keynote Speaker:

Have you ever gone to a presentation and as you watched and listened; you found yourself completely immersed in the conversation from the podium?

In contrast, have you ever gone to a presentation and as the presenter is talking, you are looking at your watch, wondering if you should read your emails, or think about getting up and going for a coffee? Imagine if you were the person who was responsible for choosing one of the two speakers above. Which one would you be proud of?
