In my own words...
Hi, I’m Marie,
I am a Mom of two, the owner of my dream vehicle, a Jeep Wrangler named Vader (yes, I named my vehicle), my favourite fairy-tale is the Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch, and my favorite superhero is Wonder Woman.
My passion is the Great Outdoors and I love Stand Up Paddleboarding on Rivers, hiking, exploring, and leisure skiing. I finally graduated from being a “Chalet’er” to a green run skier.
Little known facts about me:
- I was born in a farm community and lived on a farm for a couple of years
- I took Kung-Fu. I’m not as nimble as I used to be, but I still love the martial arts.
Client Testimonial
As it turns out, the ‘numbers’ per se are the easiest part to deal with. What I was surprised by was all the other considerations besides ‘retirement income’.To this end, Marie added a huge amount of value.
After our initial consultation, she spent about 3 hours with me getting to know me outside of documents and numbers. This in itself added value in that when she came back with the comprehensive consultation results, she planted some ‘reality check’ points on the table. Things like tax consequences, re-purposing life insurance and some interesting nuances in my recently established Will to name a few. She clearly laid out to me that retirement planning is not just about whether or not you have enough money. She highlighted the point that it is difficult to predict when one might run out of money because of that one variable that eludes all mankind – how long are you actually going to live for.
Hence my kids may be in store for a giant inheritance in the next few years, or they’ll be stuck trying to support me 30 years from now when I run out of my own money and am solely reliant on CPP and OAS. Great Job Marie. Worth every penny…
