Beyond the Bell: Lifestyle Design for Canadian Teachers

S2E4: Keeping your family cottage IN the family - with Dan McMullen

In this episode we flipped the script and interviewed BTB Co-Host Dan McMullen. It is certain that a lifestyle advantage of being a teacher is having the summer months off.  Many teachers take advantage of this and spend time lakeside at a family cottage.  In this episode, Dan shares how he is helping cottagers navigate the new realities of cottage ownership. Capital gains taxes, property taxes and rising maintenance costs are a real threat to cottage ownership.  Being a Licensed Life Insurance Advisor,  Dan explains how he is using cash value life insurance to help cottagers put a legacy plan in place to secure the family cottage for generations to come. **** Follow us on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/beyondthebellteachers/] and join our community on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1881461892229744] We are always looking for new guests from across the country.

Lifestyle Design is not only about finances, but also about experiencing a life of freedom by trying to mitigate the unavoidable stresses in our lives.  Teachers who are part of the "sandwich generation" are often handling the responsibilities of their children and aging parents.
