So, when should someone get this policy? Yesterday! But seriously, your insurability and health can change in the blink of an eye. Most people need life insurance, no matter how big or small, so obtaining insurance coverage is a good idea. There are benefits for clients of all ages to obtain life insurance. With that said other life events could trigger a need for insurance, purchasing a new house, growing your family through marriage or kids, buying a secondary property, etc.

The Future Of Life Insurance

Vitality® is leading the insurance industry in a great direction, empowering clients to take advantage of and improve their overall health and wellness. You get healthier – physically or emotionally – which means you reap the personal benefits of prioritizing your health. Then, you get all the rewards and discounts with the Vitality® policy. It’s a win-win!

I have Manulife Vitality myself and am such a big supporter of this. I try to be very intentional in keeping an active, healthy lifestyle, and the Vitality® programs assist me with reaching my goals. And, like I said, most people need insurance, so buying a product that gives you so many benefits is excellent! I went to Europe last year and used the Expedia discounts to save $1000 total on two of my hotel bookings. When I returned from my travels, I knew I would be busy and jetlagged, so I used my HelloFresh discount to get discounted HelloFresh boxes sent to me so I wouldn’t have to have the stress of grocery shopping. Also, because I ordered an Apple watch through Vitality®, I got points for all the steps I took while touring around. –Yvonne Larner, Operations, Compliance & Insurance Administrator, Wiegers Financial and Insurance Planning Services Ltd.
