“Die with zero” might sound like a clever plan: use up every cent so you don’t leave anything behind. But as Ainsley Mackie explains, it’s terrible math in practice. Life doesn’t follow a perfect script—you can’t know exactly how long you’ll live, your health, market performance, or future family needs.

A plan that drains your savings to zero assumes you can predict the future with impossible accuracy. Instead, learn why a balanced approach—saving wisely, enjoying today, and preparing for tomorrow’s curveballs—is a strategy that actually works.

“Free” advice often comes at a cost—and when it comes to your finances, transparency is everything.

Ainsley Mackie, Portfolio Manager at Verecan Capital Management Inc. explains why independent financial advice is the kind of guidance you can trust. Advice marketed as free can often come with hidden costs, or commissions based on product suggestions made (which can result in biased advice). By paying an independent advisor directly for the service, you have full transparency and the support of a professional whose only goal is to get you the best results.

Cora Tschetters didn’t start out in financial services. She sold cars, then worked in advertising sales for nearly two decades before switching careers. That meant studying for her financial licensing while holding down a full-time job and building a client base from scratch.

“It was long days, late nights, and a steep learning curve,” she recalls.

Today, she’s helping businesses and families across the Kootenays with customized insurance and benefits.

When she’s not helping clients design employee benefits or choose the right insurance coverage, Cora Tschetters can be found in the arena.

“Horses are my escape,” she says. “They keep me relaxed and grounded.”

That same focus, patience, and connection she practices with her horses carries over into her professional life at Haddad Financial, where she helps clients find tailored solutions that truly fit their needs.
