With COVID-19 grinding economies to a halt, the loss of job or unintended premature retirement may actually catch one off-guard from the sudden loss of income due to work cessation. This leaves one in a dire financial situation. Apart from the loss of income in the present, the uncertainty of one’s financial future adds to the problem – including retirement goals.

While everyone wants to have a worry-free retirement and have fun ticking items off that bucket list, the current situation is a reminder that it’s always good to revisit financial plans every now and then to see if these still meet the goals they were created for.

Richard S. Lim, President of Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa), stated, “Despite the pandemic and today’s dynamic work environment where companies are rapidly adapting to changes, we strongly believe that a comfortable retirement is still possible. A key factor is careful preparation anchored on proper financial management concepts.”

Dealing with misconceptions

While there is wealth of information available these days, the challenge is sifting through these, choosing the best ones, and setting aside the misconceptions which may derail one’s goals.

This rings true in retirement planning. According to the article 12 Dangerous Retirement Myths that Turn Your Golden Years into Lead by Todd Tresidder on FinancialMentor.com, there are retirement myths that can kill your financial security.

For instance, the common misconception that saving for retirement can be delayed until much later. Most people fall into this trap thinking that they will earn more later on, and thus have a better capacity to save. However, procrastination may easily lead to failure to plan, much less save. It is important to prepare as early as possible.

Another common misconception is that expenditures will be lesser during retirement. In reality, they actually go up due to the various maintenance medicines that one may need in his golden years as he begins to feel the toll of aging. The main goal is to retire in comfort and sustain one’s needs, including medication.

Yet another misconception that many fall prey to is that retirement could only happen at age 65. The thing is, it can actually happen at a much earlier date. Indeed, sudden unemployment may happen anytime especially during a pandemic. However one’s future is a lot more reassuring if the necessary preparations have been made early on, even if forced into retirement sooner than intended.

Prepare today for a brighter tomorrow

The good news is, retirement planning is not rocket science. It can be done with ease, more so when you have experts and professionals guiding you. Partner with a strong and stable financial services company like Sun Life Grepa, which can offer advice, solutions, and services that can help clients in pursuing their financial roadmap to retirement, especially in times such as this.

“Our role is to help Filipinos identify their retirement goals and to provide them with sound financial planning advice in order to best achieve their dreams given this fast-changing world,” says Lim. “When giving advice, we cover every possible priority and objective of the client to help them identify areas for improvement and avoid common mistakes.”

Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo’s strong partnership with husband Ryan Agoncillo is an inspiration to many, in and out of showbiz. The industry, known for its short-lived romances, does not have many couples with a strong marriage like the powerhouse couple.

“Ryan is my enabler. He is my strongest support system. He supports me like no one else can. I’m really blessed and grateful he is my lifetime partner,” Judy Ann shares. “When we got together, nag-tulungan talaga kami (we really helped each other). I taught him about show business when he started. He taught me to stand up for myself. He encouraged me to do many things I would not have done if not for him. Many of my achievements outside of showbiz, like writing a book, became a reality with his encouragement. That’s what partners are all about.”

Judy Ann shares more about their love story in Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc.’s (Sun Life Grepa) campaign dubbed “Partner Beyond a Lifetime.” At the center of the campaign is a revelation (a video recording) which not only highlights their successful marriage, but also foregrounds on why Judy Ann puts a premium on the partnerships, such as the one she shares with Sun Life Grepa as the ambassador of its insurance business.

“I’ve been an insurance policyholder since I was 17 years old. Ganoon na katagal (It’s been that long),” Judy Ann quips. “I know that my line of work is very unstable. Puwedeng bukas may pelikula ka, pero sa susunod na taon hindi ka na kilala ng mga tao (I may have a movie today but be a ‘has been’ by tomorrow). That’s what I prepared for, kahit nung Mara Clara days pa (even at the height of Mara Clara), and that’s what I always say to the young ones now.”

The actress emphasized that securing a life insurance plan gives one confidence to face the future. “Don’t wait until you get married and grow old before getting a life insurance. The earlier you have it, the better” she stresses. “It is a gift you can give to yourself, and would benefit your family in the end. Moreover, having a life insurance actually teaches you to appreciate life more. Ultimately, it gives you peace of mind because you know that at the end of the day your life is insured.”

Information on critical illnesses, especially cancer, is more accessible now more than ever. However, the cost of treating these diseases remains impactful on one’s finances, doubled by the loss of income endured during the treatment and recovery period of the patient.

Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa) helps address the need for financial preparedness in the event of cancer diagnosis with Sun Grepa Cancer Care, a specialized health insurance plan that provides benefits in every stage of one’s health journey.

“Treating cancer is not only expensive but takes time. Time spent in the hospital translates into continued income loss for a sick breadwinner or becomes a savings loss for a sick non-breadwinner being cared for,” says Sun Life Grepa President Richard S. Lim. “We believe that having peace of mind through a reliable partner can help a family through this critical time.”

Sun Grepa Cancer Care provides the following features: access to a wellness program; a fixed cash benefit in case of a diagnosed cancer covered by the policy; and a separate one-time cash benefit in case the patient undergoes surgery for removing a benign tumor covered by the policy. Other product features include an additional monthly treatment support benefit upon approval of a major cancer claim and life insurance coverage equal to 100% of the original coverage, assuming no cancer benefit has been paid.

Policy premiums may be paid in 5, 10, 15, or 20-year periods. Payments can also be paid semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly. A special bonus may be provided at the end of the premium-paying period and annual dividend earnings afterwards. These may be received in cash or left with Sun Life Grepa to accumulate. In case of an emergency, a policy loan can be taken out from the plan’s cash value to support the immediate need.

Sun Grepa Cancer Care is one of Sun Life Grepa’s latest offerings in its more than 65 years in the Philippines. For inquiries about Sun Grepa Cancer Care, contact your Sun Life Grepa advisor, visit any Sun Life Grepa or your RCBC bank branch of account, call 8-849-9633/ 8-866-6880 or email wecare@sunlifegrepa.co
