事情越讨论越清楚

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛事情越讨论越清楚,我和ALBERTYANG互相也不认识,我们之间不应当也不会为了对着干而对着干,实际上到目前在许多方面我赞同他的观点,比如上个帖子中他的LAST COMMENT。 只是以前的帖子赞同的说的少,不赞同的就急着说出来,所以我说从ALBERTYANG 这里挤出了不少东西,我相信很多网友会从中收益的,在以下几个方面再谈我的看法。

1。ALBERTYANG提的Financial Planning确实很重要,我是个讲计划的人,不光是FINANCE,我什么都事先计划,但我遇到多少个顾问,他们都不给我提计划,有时我不得不提醒一下(我不愿意过分的提醒,因为我需要这个过程来观察考验对方,看他是是以我为中心还是仅以他自己为中心)。他们和你约时间的时候一般都说1个小时左右,我有个刚如此行的朋友,他的老板告诉他,大部分是争取第一次保险签约,在这一个多小时里能说服你签约,已经是相当不错的了,哪里有时间给你作计划。所以多次失望之后我就不得不自己找资料看了。ALBERTYANG说的 Certified Financial Planner, independent of insurance companies,从哪里能找到呢,单独花几拾元也可以。

2。"cost is $40 instead of $20"是我举例说明问题,不是你给的。UL成本高就应当从客户身上取,无可非议,但不等于人们一定值得买,你说的FLEXXIBILITY对谁有意义谁就可以买这个FLEXIBILITY,举例说明,波音公司要卖一架747给一个穷人,200万,这个穷人买不起,可波音公司说,飞机比汽车速度快多了,用的材料也多多了,卖给你200万我已经是赔本了,结果这个穷人还是没买。

3。买保险可以是一种浪费,不该买的时候你买了,该买这种的时候你买了那种,该买40万的COVERAGE时你买了60万(或调过来该60万的时候你买了40万),这些都是浪费。更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • My response 1: please read my previous posting "you need a plan, an overall plan, not just insurance or RRSP", the key point of the article is: it is the overall planning of how- your-money-is-spent that matters.
      I was away on business for a few days, "Hello" to all avid forum participant.

      Do you need life insurance? How much coverage do I need? What Life insurance products do I need? (term or UL, or WL or other derivative products like insurance against disability, critical illness, Long-term care cost, and insurance for presonal health). You won't be able to answer these questions unless you have done a thorough analysis of your current financial situation, and unless you have got an objective in mind about your future and/or future of your family.

      No two persons have the same need for insurance: a need analysis has to be done before you buy any insurance products. if you are not financial guru, you need to talk to financial advisor or agent. If you don't have faith in agent, then you need the service of Certified Financial Planner, independent of insurance companies.
      • 我从开始就想要个OVERALL PLAN,可见到了这么多顾问,他们说不了两句就集中精力谈UL了。 通过大家这样的努力,我们还是从ALBERTYANG这里挤出点东西来了。
        • 观点错误,1。保险agent专长在于保险计划,当然会以保险为主,。。。
          观点错误,
          1。保险agent专长在于保险计划,当然会以保险为主,再说保险和税务本来就是overall财务计划的主要部分。
          2。您的预期是什么?如果只是想了解一个大概的overall财务计划,那么可以找找保险agent或银行免费做一个,但重点必然会在保险计划,如果你找银行免费财务计划,重点必然会在基金投资计划。毕竟人家免费讲解是希望卖产品。
          • 观点错误,-----BOEING公司专长在制造飞机,天天给你打电话,要卖给你飞机,不买不行。
            • 不明白您的意思,我的point是:你不要指望能从"免费的"财务计划中得到什么。 "免费"是得不到一个严肃的计划的。
              • 我要的肯定是严肃的、OVERALL计划,花钱买服务,这事咱认可,只要物(服务)有所值,您可知道怎么找到这样的服务?

      本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Only 5% of Canadian can really retire comforably, the remaining 95% will be struggling to get by. To be one of the 5%, you need to plan ahead:

      1. maximize your RRSP contribution (check your Notice of assessment, it tells you how much you can put into RRSP)
      a. work out an investment strategy by doing a thorough analysis of financial situation and your investment risk tolerance level. in a word, build a well-balanced portfolio.

      b. stick to your plan and contribute regularly (say bi-weekly) for an amount that you can handle (without draining necessary fund for your daily expenses). In long run, the average return on your contribution will be higher than if you throw in a lump sum to beat the RRSP contribution deadline (march 1 of every year) ; the underlying principle is called "dollar cost averaging".


      2. if you still have extra dollars every month, say $50, set up an annuity (only insurance company can provide annuity service). It works like this: every month you set aside $50 and let it accumulate in a pool of money managed by insurance company's investment team. You can choose just GIC type account (no risk at all). if you think you will retire in 30 years, set up 30-year annuity account, starting the 31st year, you will receive weeklyl, by-weekly or monthly cheque from insurance company to supplement your income at that time. such annuity service is not insurance, it is investment service offered by insurance company.

      3. prepare a will and power of attorney to make sure all the hard-earned money will be disposed of according to your will, otherwise, government will take over and dispose of your properties according to lengthy and tidious government procedure

      4. to lower possible health care cost, get all information necessary about OHIP (OHIP: Ontario Health Insurance Program sponsored by Ontario government so as to make the best use of it when you need it.

      4. purchase Life insurance for income earner of your family

      5. You may buy new products called Critical illness insurance and/or Long-term care insurance to minimize impact of becoming ill and lossing ability to take care of yourself. In detail, Criticial illness insurance pay a lump sum of money, say $100,000 to you when you are diagnosed to have one of 18 major illnesses. (CI and LTC insurances are designed to supplement OHIP coverage)

      6. Last and not least, keep yourself health! Get a good job or start your own business, it means steady stream of income, then all RRSP, mutual fund, Insurance, annuity will make sense.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

      "albert yang说 TERM现在(20或30岁)是好的选择,保15万的月费17元,最大的缺点是65岁时RENEW的月费接近250元。我说 albert yang,你给的这些数字真够吓人的,翻出我的保单,我发现了如下的差别,我的年龄比你设定的大得多(40),保20万的月费是22元,还包括伤残的waiver,70-80岁时的月费是180元。这个年龄以后我没有特殊需要就不会买任何保险了。差别实在太大,你还是好好回顾你的数字吧,我们真的很胆小,经不起吓唬,还是你代理的CLARICA保险公司就这个数字,幸亏我没买此公司的,感谢上帝。"

      My response:

      I did not use any scare tactics when I mentioned that monthly premium for term policy could be as high as $250/m when you turn 65. It is an average amount charged by insurance companies in Canada. If you get anything cheaper, good for you.

      Your comment
      " albert yang还说,人过世了需要2-2。5万的安葬费和被保人法律手续费,再加上通货膨胀,得6。5万到8万。哈哈,又是一个用解决意外的手段解决意内的实例,同时够讲排场的,比活着的时候排场多了,甚至年富力强的青壮年时也没这么潇洒过,我还是选择别死了,好死不如赖活着。我怎么有个概念,平均一般的安葬费5-6千元,如果这个年龄没买任何保险,我自然就没有你所说的被保人法律手续费之类了。"

      My response:
      just take a look at the following fact

      FEES PAYABLE AT DEATH ONTARIO

      In addition to income taxes at death, here are other fees that can deplete
      the assets in your estate.

      1. Probate Fees

      Ontario's probate fees were successfully challenged in a recent Supreme Court case. As a result, the province introduced an Estate Administration Tax at the same level as the former probate fees.

      The value of your estate which passes under your will is subject to
      provincial fee/tax of $5 per $1,000 (or portion thereof) for the first
      $50,000, and $15 per $1,000 (or portion thereof) for the remaining value
      of the estate.

      2. Legal Fees

      Fees are levied by a solicitor for services performed in the settlement of
      estates. The fees levied will be based on the amount of time spent in
      the settlement of the estate.

      3. Executor Fees

      The executor, the person who carries out the instructions given in your
      will, is entitled to be paid. A professional executor is usually paid a
      maximum of 5% of the value of the estate under administration. Additional fees can be charged against the income of the estate if the estate must be held in trust for any length of time.

      4. Funeral Expenses

      Today, funeral costs range between $7,500 and $20,000.

      Total cost: add up 1 to 4

      Clarification:
      1. all these fees are incurred as a result of a person's death. If a person has no will, no assets, no money left when he or she passes away, then funeral expenses is the only one payable. However, many of us will have certain amount of accumulated wealth and assets to dispose of when we die. Then, there will be legal fees, executor's fees and probate fees.
      2. there is no fee collectable by insurance company when it pays out death benefit, which goes directly to cover the above-mentioned fees.

      Your comment:
      "albert yang又说,部分钱是保险,其余就去投资了。老生常谈,总是这道科,还记得我在原文里讲的保险成本吗,如果UL和TERM的可比成本一样,我何乐而不用它的优势呢,就是它的劣势大于它的优势,我才建议穷人只买TERM。比如保险应当20元,你让我交60元,拿40元去投资,当然是好事,可你硬说成本是40元,只留给我20元去投资,你就投资投资的说个没完没了,弄的大家云里雾里的就跟你走了"

      My response:
      It is a known fact that the cost for UL is higher than the one for term. the reason being: UL offers more flexibility in terms of policy administration (eg. you can have payment holiday when there is cash value; you can change the underlying investment components anytime. ) all these flexibilities means higher cost for insurance company to administer the policy. I don't recall telling you that "cost is $40 instead of $20". Nobody forces anybody to buy UL.

      Your comment:
      "albert yang也有说对的时候,他让我每年审查回顾自己的保险事项,谢谢你,我会做的,如果我的情况发生变化,我会进行必要的调整。另外, albert yang让我相信他,他可以和我更仔细的谈论我的保险事宜。说实在的,我需要不懈的努力才能达到相信他的地步。"

      My response:
      Yeah, do annual review of your current policy. As for trust, it is earned not asked for. Insurance (including UL) is good for many people, you don't have to trust me to acknowlege that.

      Your comment:
      唯一的疑问是,你说只有5%的加拿大人有舒适的退休生活。比例确实挺小的,但你是否知道有多少比例的人口在退休之前也没有舒适的生活,工资低,养家糊口负担重,你总不能让我们现在勒紧裤带,吃糠咽菜,就是为了将来有个舒适的退休生活吧。"

      my response:
      Buying life insurance and its derivative products is not a waste of money,
      Insurance is not a luxury, it is a necessity. It is part of our overall financial planning, if we don't plan ahead, we will never get out of "poverty". UL is more expensive than term, but UL offers more and longer coverage period. You decide which one is more suitable for you.

      My last comment:
      The scary thing is: many have to pay $30 to $40 for cable, $50 for a meal at restaurant, $100 to $300 for car insurance, $1000 for GICs,mutual fund or stocks, but they never find $20 to $100 for life insurance. Without having us and our family covered by life insurance and its derivative products, we are always at risk of lossing big time financially when uncontrollable events such as death, sickness, disability strike.

      Planning for the rainy days, that's life insurance all about.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
