Mardon These are scary times. Unemployment Unemployment is at its worst level since the Dirty Thirties. Inflation is raging at a doubledigit, doubledigit, level. The rates of business business and personal bankruptcies bankruptcies have soared. The economic malaise afflicting Canada has started to seriously undermine business business and consumer confidence in the future. Many savers and investors are wondering about the wisdom of putting aside money for future needs, if its value continues to be eroded by inflation. However, history, has proven time and again that those who will best survive a period of severe recession are the ones who have put their financial affairs in order. They'll be the long-term winners. winners. There's no magic formula to this. It's mainly a matter of adopting and following a realistic personal financial plan ; one designed to achieve the financial success goals set for themselves by individuals or families.

For some it may mean having $1,000 in the bank and no pressing bills, or owning a house clear of a mortgage. For others it may mean accumulating accumulating enough capital to have a business of one's own, or the money to put all the children through university. It would be relatively easy for the average Canadian to achieve at least a modest scale of financial success if there were no obstacles. But there are. Two of them are virtually beyond the control of individual Canadians; two are within our power to overcome. These four major obstacles are taxes, inflation, lack of a plan and procrastination. Taxes - Everybody's bugaboo. bugaboo. Canadians are among the most heavily taxed people in the world, when you add up all the up-front and hidden taxes levied by three levels of government, federal, provincial provincial and municipal. The average Canadian works nearly (ive months each year just to meet this tax obligation. obligation. There are ways to lightm that tax burden, however. Inflation - A sneaky form of taxation. It is difficult to obtain wage or salary increases, or a high enough return on your money, to offset offset the destructive effect of a shrinking dollar. In fact, many Canadians are losing ground financially, especially those living on fixed incomes.

Lack of a plan. Because there are so many financial products and services to choose from and every person has different circumstances, there is a strong tendency to haphazardly adopt a savings or investment program unsuited unsuited to a long-range person- ?.l financial objective.
