Be prepared

I was a boy scout when I was younger.  The motto of the boy scouts, when I was a member at least, was “be prepared”.  In theory, it meant that no matter what happened, you would be ready for it.  We spent a lot of time learning how to tie knots, make fires, and build emergency shelters.  We had a manual that we referred to: the Boy Scout Handbook.  I remember my copy being well worn as I tried to work on my latest merit badge.

The Handbook was a great resource.  The problem with it, as I recall, was that it delt mainly with wilderness survival and did not really provide a lot of information about growing up in urban Canada.  Knowing how to start a fire didn’t really help me as I started high school.  Even as an adult there is no handbook to help us get through life and what we should do to prepare for it.

In a small attempt to provide a resource and help you prepare for some of the most impactful things that can happen to you, I present this link to Manulife’s Insurance Explained website.  It should answer many of the questions that you have about insurance; even the questions you didn’t know you had.  Nothing protects you and your family from the unwanted disasters of life like insurance even if it is as exciting as a bowline knot.  When you need it, it is priceless.  And you can think of me as your financial Scout Master.  My job is to help you to “be prepared”.
