May 2016

Financial Tip of the Month: Most of us work towards the big goals, such as retirement or a cottage, by trying to save each month.  Without a true cashflow system, we often find that we must tap into these savings when surprises happen.  However, by re-allocating how you spend, setting up a "cash flow plan", you can reset your savings to stay on track more often and to meet both the "short-term" and long-term goals.  As well, you'll find it easier to reach these goals. Its new and it's called Cash Flow Planning.  

Who does Cash Flow Planning work for?
  1. You make a good living, but wonder if you have enough to show for it.
  2. Your current strategy is all about product, not about your plan.
  3. You are committed to funding your dreams, and willing to take steps to get there.
