Purposeful giving offers a powerful avenue for affluent families to make a lasting difference in society while enhancing their financial standing.

As you work toward building your legacy, every dollar shielded from unnecessary tax liabilities becomes an asset that can be reinvested, helping to grow a secure financial future for both you and your loved ones.

By making charitable contributions, you often qualify for tax benefits, allowing you to allocate funds that might otherwise go to your quote unquote, silent partner, the CRA, toward supporting the causes and organizations closest to your heart. This strategic approach to tax planning not only contributes to a meaningful legacy but also has the potential to reduce your overall tax burden, creating a harmonious balance between philanthropy and financial management.

At Vida, we design comprehensive strategies to help you minimize tax exposure and maximize the lasting impact of your legacy on your family and the broader community.

With the modern era of work from home still in effect post covid, I know firsthand, that it could be tempting to sit there in our home office chairs wearing our comfy’s all day and think we’re still being productive. And for some, that might be true. However, what we wear can influence our thought process and demeanour, be it for a business meeting, social gathering or even our personal time off. Hence the expression “dress to impress” might actually hold some weight.
✨
The way you dress can have a significant impact on your mindset and productivity. Instead of reaching for the most comfortable loungewear you own, consider dressing up a bit for the day ahead. Putting on some professional attire that makes you feel savvy, can help shift your mindset from weekend mode to work mode and boost your confidence as you tackle the day’s tasks. Nowadays, there are tons of business casual options that are actually crazy comfortable! There’s a few in particular for me that have become staples in my wardrobe and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
✨
Now, I’m not saying for you to try this based on what others think. No no, this is completely and entirely for you. I don’t put stock in what others think and I don’t suggest you to do so either. My outfits are driven by what I’m in the mood for and the message that I’m trying to convey to myself. I do this for me. It’s a reflection of how I want to be seen by myself and by others. Not all superheroes wear capes. Some of them wear lulu ABC trousers and golf shirts!
✨
Just remember, dress to impress, first and foremost, for yourself!

Waking up early can be a challenge. I for one struggle with staying up too late or hitting that damn snooze button far too often. However, while it may be tempting to hit the snooze button and stay in bed a little longer, getting up early can be a great way to set a positive tone for the day.
✨
Using this extra time to engage in a calming morning routine that energizes you for the day ahead, beats the hell out of dreading that upcoming meeting or stressing about being late. But naturally, that’s how my mind wants me to think. By waking up early with intention and immediately taking action - I’m able to quiet these morning demons and get my butt in gear!
✨
So I use this time to engage in calming morning routines that energize me for the day ahead. Whether it’s meditation, exercise, a nice cup of coffee or all of the above, you have to find what works for you. Personally, I think all of these are great, but I always have my coffee there as my sidekick.
✨
What I really try to avoid at all costs, is starting my day with junk. And by junk, I’m not talking about junk food. I’m talking about checking social media or emails first thing. If I’m checking social media first thing in the morning, I’m starting my day off worrying about other people’s lives rather than my own. That’s a no no. You want to use your mornings to focus on YOU!
✨
Here’s a bunch of suggestions that I recommend instead to put you in a better state of mind to tackle your day:
- journal
- write a gratitude list
- write a goal list for the day
- read something developmental or spiritual
- work out

Now, these are just tools that allow you to start your day in a positive more intentional state. It gives you time to focus on you, so that you can set up your day for physical, mental and emotional success. Focus on the good stuff. It doesn’t have to be something you dread. It’s all a matter of mindset.

If I can do it, you most certainly can too!

Mondays often get a bad rap. They mark the end of the weekend and the beginning of yet another workweek, and for many, they symbolize the struggle to get back into the groove after a couple of days off. I often have people ask me how I do it week in and week out as a business owner. How do you stay motivated when you have no one to be accountable to, other than yourself? The truth is I don’t really believe in motivation. To me, it’s just a series of disciplines and consistencies that need to be a part of my day, my week and my month to ensure I’m always moving the needle in the right direction.
✨
It doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. To me, Mondays also present an opportunity for a fresh start. A chance to set the tone for the rest of the week. With the right mindset and a few strategies in place, you can turn Mondays into a day of unmatched productivity which can propel your week to new heights. Over the next few days, I’m going to do my best here to share some of the ways that I keep myself quote unquote “motivated.”
✨
The first way I personally get started is to set my intentions for the week Sunday or Sunday night. I combat the Monday morning blues by setting intentions for the week ahead. Try taking some time on a Sunday evening to reflect on your calendar, goals and priorities for the upcoming week. Write them down and try visualizing yourself accomplishing them. I’m not going to lie, this concept can feel extremely foreign at first. But like most things, practice makes perfect. Doing this simple act can help you kickstart your Monday workweek with a clear and defined sense of purpose. The key here is don’t overcomplicate it.
✨
Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you. If there’s something you do to kickstart your workweek, don’t be shy, feel free to share!

Why ignorance isn’t bliss!
✨
In a world filled with instant gratification and constant distractions, the thought of delving into the realm of finances might seem like a daunting task. The truth is, most of us find comfort in ignoring financial responsibilities, choosing to live in the moment rather than facing the potential stress associated with money matters. However, avoiding it altogether can have serious consequences that can extend far beyond the comfort of ignorance.
✨
Without a roadmap for your financial future, you leave yourself wide open and susceptible to too many unexpected events. It only takes one big impact to completely derail your financial future.
✨
It’s not only about saving, saving, saving. It’s about making your money work for YOU! By not doing this, you miss out on the chance to capitalize on opportunities and time that might pass you by.
✨
Not to mention DEBT. Without eyes on this topic constantly, you can easily succumb to impulsive spending habits, leaving you in a perpetual cycle of debt that can feel next to impossible to break. Before you know it, you’re so far in it, that you can’t even afford to save for your kids education.
✨
Guess what the leading cause of strain on relationships is? You probably guessed right. FINANCES! Understanding it, talking about it and planning for it can alleviate tension and even improve the relationship. This can avoid a ton of misunderstandings and disagreements on spending and saving.
✨
Don’t limit your financial freedom. Not taking action sooner, can have lasting effects like delaying retirement and putting it off altogether. Don’t compromise your retirement out of avoidance.
✨
I know the allure of avoiding finances might be giving you temporary relief but the truth is, it’ll still be waiting there for you when you least expect it. Dealing with it head on and creating a PLAN can empower you to finally take control of your destiny and proactively have some say in the matter instead of having to be reactive.
✨
So talk about it, share about it, plan for it and start shaping the life you truly want and deserve!

If you’re diagnosed with a serious illness, your first reaction is to instinctively assume that having government health insurance means you don’t have to worry about medical bills. However, that’s not exactly true. This is a common assumption. But, if you take a closer look, the realities may surprise you.
✨
There’s no question that a critical illness can impact your life. But, if you’re prepared for this curveball, you can spend less time worrying about having to pay the bills, and focus on getting back on your feet. After all, you’re nothing without your health. Remember, your most valuable asset is YOU and your ability to earn an income! If you can’t earn a living because you’ve been diagnosed with something horrible, who’s coming to save you? Better yet, what’s the plan? If there is no plan, well then, that tells you, you have some work to do with that team of yours that I keep referring to.
✨
Remember, it’s not just the costs of medical bills. There’s a whole slew of costs that don’t even cross our minds from big to small, such as; hospital parking, travel for treatments, home nursing, alternative treatments, modifications to your home, or even treatments or surgeries outside of Canada. How about if you had to hire a permanent caregiver? Where does the money for that come from?
✨
The good news is, like most unexpected events, you can plan for them in advance. Yes, it’s the lottery you don’t want to WIN! But like the old saying goes, “It’s better to be safe, than sorry!”
✨
So first things first, check if you have adequate coverage or any coverage at all through work. Find out exactly what your insurance covers, and for how much. You can then assess your options. Remember, your expenses may be higher while you’re recovering.
✨
Secondly, do you have a partner to care for you if you become sick? They may need to take a leave of absence from work to help. In that case, you’ll have to consider that your household income could be reduced drastically.
✨
Lastly, speak to your advisor about options. I know you think you’re invincible, but the truth is you’re not. There are 4 main types of health insurance coverage that can help save the day in times like these.

If your parents are getting into their 60s and 70s, you might be wondering whether or not they’ve got enough in the bank to retire. And rightfully so. This is one of the most common money fears among adults. Let alone, the stress it could impose on a marriage.
✨
Supporting elderly parents is quite common in some cultures. After all, our parents did put up with us for all those years. Some might say it’s only right that we should look after them in their later years. However, I won’t sugar coat it. Having to financially support your parents can definitely cause financial stress, especially if you’re not prepared for it. That’s why it’s important to create a plan! The earlier the better.
✨
Get the whole gang together, both siblings and your parents and don’t be afraid to ask questions about their retirement plans. Make sure to ask the hard questions about how much they’ve saved, how they plan to spend it and how long it’s going to last. At best, you’ll be surprised to find that they have more set aside than you thought. At worst, you’ll know exactly what you’re up against and who they need to see to put a retirement plan in place. Again, having a solid team makes all the difference.
✨
The good news is that there are some government programs that can help if your parents really don’t have enough savings to retire. Either way, putting together a retirement plan with a Financial Planner is a must. And they’re never too late to start. Remember, the key here is the sooner, the better!
✨
Doing the work up front, eliminates the need for guess work. Ask the hard questions, because failing to plan, is planning to FAIL!

You don’t have to be a millionaire to help those in need. ✨
A lot of us worry that we aren’t being generous enough with our money. Some of us think that we have to be millionaires to make a real impact. That’s just not true. Giving any amount that you can afford can be enough to help someone else in need or a cause you truly care about. There’s also strategies that you could use that are super affordable and super impactful with the help of an insurance advisor, that you’re probably not aware of. These solutions can even help fend off the TAX man!
✨
There are a ton of ways that giving to others can totally enrich your life. It can help you to develop a healthier relationship and better appreciation of money, deepen ties within your community, and help you to be a part of something bigger than yourself. Plus, giving away some of your money can help to prevent you from becoming too cheap! 😆
✨
Luckily, like most money fears, this one comes with an easy fix by putting together a giving plan!
✨
It all starts with a commitment to give a certain percentage of your income, or volunteer a certain number of hours of your time. You can work this into your budget by creating a giving category. Come up with a goal to work up to. Like most things, it doesn’t just happen over night. Whatever your target number is, you can work your way up to it by starting small and ramping up over time.
✨
Again, having a team to lean on for advice on these matters is crucial. There’s strategies that can be used today and tomorrow that could help!
