EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
  The eight great financial planning outcomes:
  1. If a breadwinner dies prematurely the family's lifestyle will not be compromised. The children still go to school and retirement plans remain intact.
  2. Similar outcomes prevail in the event of a disability.
  3. Cash flow coming into the family exceeds the cash going out.
  4. The current generation can retire with a high degree of confidence. They know that their resources will be able to grow through three decades of rising costs.
  5. The current generation can contribute meaningfully to the support of parents.
  6. This generation can look forward to never being a financial burden to their children, even in the event of an extended stay in a nursing home.
  7. Capital grows over time allowing the current generation to leave meaningful legacies to family and community.
  8. Estate taxation will not force the sale of prized family assets such as cottages or business interests.
