Birch Bay is incredibly proud to be able to give support to the amazing fire department that we have. Volunteers make our rural towns work and a fire fighter is a special type of volunteer. Thank you guys/gals for all you do! Karen Shaw Allie Connelly Clay Caldwell Kayla Caldwell

On behalf of us at Rm #2 and Carnduff Fire and Rescue, we would like to give a huge thank you to Birch Bay Wealth Management Inc. for the generous donation of $5000.00! Last Tuesday night, Karen Shaw presented a cheque to me along with a number of our firefighters. This donation will go a long way towards the development of our training yard and courses needed to keep our department’s skill level top notch. Thank you for investing in our department and community!

Imagine choosing to work, not needing to.
That’s what early retirement is really about 👉
opening the door to options for what a new
version of your life could look like.
With the right strategy and time on your side, it’s
more achievable than most people think.

Big results usually aren’t the result of one big
move 🌱 They’re the outcome of small, consistent
actions repeated over time.
Stay steady. Stay intentional. Growth will follow.

Much like your garden, growing your money takes
time, patience, and the right strategy 🌱
By knowing what you are planting for, planting quality seeds with consistent input (no matter how big or small), and making adjustments along
the way, your savings are sure to grow steadily
over time.

There’s always something that needs to be done.
Sometimes it’s remembering what it is that’s the
hard part 🙈 Anyone else regularly get to a spot in the house and wonder what exactly you were doing there?

Outliving your retirement savings is the #1 fear for
future retirees 😬 The best way to ease that
worry? A financial plan. Knowing what you want in retirement, the data on how spending happens as we age, smart investing and
realistic strategies can help you enjoy retirement
without fear.

The clocked in version of me vs clocked out…

It’s called balance, right?

I hate to break it to you, but luck will only get you
so far in life 🍀 Having the retired life you dream
of comes down to a strong plan set in place today.

Estate planning is making sure your hard earned
assets go where you intend.
It can include:
👉 Locking in your will
👉 Naming where your money will go and who will
be in charge of it
👉 Ensuring your life insurance or other registered
accounts flow together efficiently and don’t
unintentionally create tax complications
👉 A business succession plan (for those who
own a business)
If you’ve built valuable assets, how are you
planning to protect them?

Let’s Introduce you to more of the team at Birch Bay!

Hey! I'm Karen, the master mind of this circus - and loving every day of it!
I started in the financial industry in 2009 - 16 years ago, which is crazy since I'm only 39??? I absolutely love what I do and the clients I have. I have purposefully kept Birch Bay's roots in rural towns and with a small number of clients that I also consider friends.
When not at work, I am writing my financial book about retirement (🤞Looking at a fall launch - stay tuned), spending time at the lake with my husband either fishing, paddleboarding, or kayaking. I have two boys, both married to the most wonderful women a mother-in-law could ever ask for. Clay Caldwell and Kayla Caldwell are in Sundre, making me a WestJet frequent flyer to see my two (soon to be four) grandbabies, and Anderson Cody Caldwell and Jillian Eileen are a bit closer in Moose Jaw with my fur-grandbaby. Along with these four I am also blessed with 4 bonus children and two more grandkids!
Oh, and I'm an adrenaline ju**ie that loves to do things that pushes the senses. Anyone interested in doing a canyoning trip hit me up!
