I created a Storyboard on Storify for Breathe Now that includes the session that I attended (It’s Ok to Plan Ahead) and tweets from the other two sessions. You can check it here, after the jump.
Breathe Now 2012
This storyboard showcases just a smorgasboard of Breathe Now 2012. I am attending currently the session "It’s Ok to Plan Ahead", but the overall story showcases tweets from all three. Curated from the #YYJ hashtag.

The rest of my Story focuses on FINANCIAL PLANNING – Barb Hopkins and ESTATE PLANNING – Kristy Martin
RT @hummingbird604: Determine what your insurance need is going to make you comfortable is an important question few people ask. #breatheYYJMargaret Reynolds
RT @hummingbird604: Plan for what folks call "non-controllable events" – >3.8 million Canadians aged 15 and over have some level of disability #breatheYYJErica
It’s scary that people don’t really plan for their future, and that people accumulate debt all the way up.
80% of our generation go into retirement with a mortgage — Barb Hopkins #OUCH #BreatheYYJ Taking debt into retirement?!Raul Pacheco
The harsh reality is that affordability also influences financial planning, as the responses to my tweets indicate (see below)
@hummingbird604 my dad at 80 is still paying a small amount on his mortgagae in his 2 bdrm condo!Paul E
@hummingbird604 Lucky for us in Vancouver that we’ll never be able to afford a house. Avoids that problem all together…jen hill
