The Canadian life insurance provider, Foresters™ has introduced Everyday Money, an added benefit for their current members. Everyday Money is a toll-free confidential financial helpline that was introduced because of the economic downturn and the effects it is having on families.
Counselors are available from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon ET on Saturday, through the toll-free number. The counselors are there strictly for answering financial questions and giving advice. They cannot sell or recommend any financial products, but they are trained to answer a variety of personal financial questions about money management.
Sample of Tools Provided by Everyday Money:
- Personal budget planning
- Dealing with identity theft
- Paying off credit card debt
- Managing home purchases, mortgages, renting, refinancing, foreclosures
- Retirement Planning
- Education Planning
“Foresters member benefits are offered as a part of our purpose, which is to champion the well-being of families through quality life insurance, unique member benefits and inspiring community activities,” said Kasia Czarski, Foresters senior vice president, chief membership and marketing officer. “Our new Everyday Money member benefit can help families with questions about their finances.”

That is a great idea. More financial companies like Foresters should offer this type of service as it is difficult to find reliable information on these topics.
