What do you want?





I remembered sitting in school as a young child visualizing what I wanted to be when I grew up. Little did I know that life doesn't always go according to your plan. there are bills, rent, mortgage, school fees, car payments and grocery bills that keep increasing month after month.
After giving it some thought I've come to realize that everyone basically want the same thing:




1) to protect their children and love ones from poverty
2) to maintain good health and ensure money is available if they do become ill.
3) to have adequate savings "although saving might be an issue"
4) most  people want to retire early with a comfortable pension

With over twenty five years experience in the financial industry , I have decided to share basis financial advice that can be used to take you through this difficult economic climate.

Common questions about Critical illness

Many people in Trinidad and Tobago are not prepared financially when faced with a serious illness, despite having good medical coverage.
