Virtual Death Literacy YEG: Financial Plans
2020-04-15 19:00 - 21:00
2020 is the year you break away from the 80% of Canadians who have not completed an end of life plan. 2020 is the year you become part of the 20% who are good to go!
Each meetup covers a topic related to end of life planning.
Being prepared for the unexpected and the inevitable is one of the kindest things you can do for those you love. Why not make it easier for those who care about you to close out your life, or to help you when you need it most: major life change (injury, illness, job loss, natural disaster). Think of it as death positive family emergency planning and preparedness!
APRIL SESSION: Financial Plans: Death is not cheap. It’s important to have a plan on how to pay for it.
