Life insurance provides a lump-sum payment to replace the deceased person's income, or it may support a succession plan, when ownership of a business is being transferred to the next generation. You generally only need life insurance when others, such as a spouse and children, depend on your income, especially if you have a mortgage or your children are young. 200-2908 South Sheridan Way, Oakville Tel: 905-829-0600 Visit us at http://teamtrian.dundeewealth.com PLUM fresh innovative This holiday season Plum is featuring catering EVENT Peace of Mind ... ... the most Valuable Service we Provide Anton Tucker CFP, FMA, FCSI 905.330.7448 anton@tridelta.ca www.tridelta.ca OAKVILLE NORTH YORK MISSISSAUGA THORNHILL Take-Home Holiday Meals menu #1 $32.00 How much insurance is enough? There are lots of sophisticated formulas, but here are two easy questions that provide a good estimate. How many years of income do you want to be able to replace? Or, what major debts or expenses would you like to cover, for example, a mortgage for your spouse or university tuition for your children? Disability Insurance What are the chances that you'll be permanently disabled to the extent that you can no longer work? They are higher than most people realize. One third of people now aged 35 years will be unable to work for at least six months before reaching the age of 65. The chances that you'll suffer a disability rather than die before retirement are close to threeto-one. During your working years, your most valuable asset is probably your future earnings. Disability insurance protects your income for both you and your dependents. You should have enough disability insurance to provide you with sufficient income to live on until other financial resources become available, for example, until your expected retirement. In addition to replacing income, consider factoring in additional funds for possible specialized care. - News Canada · Butternut Squash soup · Seasonal greens with feta served with a white balsamic vinaigrette · Sliced white and dark turkey accompanied by traditional sauce.

That's why many people carry supplementary health insurance. Government plans provide comprehensive coverage of core health care services such as ward-level hospital acute care and most physician services. Supplementary plans focus on non-core services that are not covered or not fully covered by government plans. Coverage varies considerably, partly because government coverage varies substantially from province to province. Expenses for dental services are usually covered under separate supplementary agreements. · Mushroom and leek Soup with brie croutons · Winter Greens with a cranberry vinaigrette · Sliced white and dark turkey accompanied by traditional sauce.
