Don't forget to call your advisor!

**Don't forget to call your advisor!** Investors should proactively communicate life changes to their financial service providers.  **Scenario**: Whether it's losing a job (like Tricia) or receiving a bonus (like Saidy), these events warrant a call to your advisor.  **The Gap**: Investors often don't call because they don't think of it, assume it's irrelevant, or see no benefit—but these changes can significantly impact their financial plan and investments.  **Why It Matters**: • Advisors can't read minds and won't know your situation unless you share it.  • Life changes (job loss, bonuses) affect how you should manage debt, RRSPs, TFSAs, and tax obligations.    • Early communication allows for better planning and minimizing financial damage or tax liability.  **Takeaway**: Call your advisor when circumstances change, and for advisors—create a supportive, shame-free environment that encourages clients to share news.
