Baby Boomers

Make no mistake about it, Boomers were divided into two camps, the ‘save-the-world revolutionaries’ of the 60’s and 70’s or you were the ‘party-hardy climbers’ the Yuppies of the 70’s/ 80’s. Ravens Rock’s goal is to assist you with all that you need to know moving forward in this stage of your life.
Boomers ushered in the buy it now and use credit mentality, they found themselves often too busy for much neighborly involvement, yet they express a strong desire to change common values for the good of all. They were certainly the first for many things, the first generation to raise children where both parents were working. The first TV generation, the first to accept divorce as an acceptable reality and the first to begin accepting same sex relationships.

Baby Boomers are optimistic, team-oriented, and driven to succeed. They accept that technology has an inherent learning curve, and they tend to be more positive when it comes to authority figures, hierarchical, paternalistic structure, and traditions. This is one of the largest generations in history (In Canada 9.6 million people) or close to 3 Canadians out of 10 (29%), were baby boomers. They are the first generation to use the word “retirement” to mean being able to enjoy life after the children have left home. Instead of sitting in a rocking chair, they go skydiving, exercise, and take up hobbies intended to increase their longevity.

What Our Baby-Boomers Say

The following are just some of the many testimonials we have received over the years. The greatest gift we can receive is the introduction to your friends or family

Ruth L

Chris has been my financial advisor for over 10 years now. I have found him very efficient and knowledgeable in the products he offers. He suggested alternatives to me on my investments that are in my best interest. I am very pleased with the outcome of these investments. I find Chris is reliable at returning calls within a short period of time and responds to my requests immediately. He is a very trustworthy agent.

John and Sofia H

We decided to remove my pension from my employer and have Raven Rock manage our funds. We met with Chris and discussed our options. We decided to go with Ravens Rock, Chris arranged our funds transfer and set up our pension. Chris was excellent when ever we had a question or concern, he was quick to respond with the answers we needed. We also recommended Ravens Rock to a few friends who have used Ravens Rock for their needs.

“Ravens Rock…what can I say. We had no experience with a Financial Advisor, then along came Chris. We explained what we had, what we needed, sent him on his way to work his magic. He drew up a plan, explained everything to us and away we went…. best decision we ever made. Chris is understanding of all aspects of our changing situations and details the best steps to be taken to achieve our goals. So glad we found him.”

Igor and Olga K

“Since about 2010 we are getting a personal advice as he is managing our RRSP plans. And not only that, we also received valuable advice about retirement planning, life insurance and tax situations. We would recommend to any family to get a wealth/ retirement advisor; and of all advisors Chris is the best. Many times, my wife and I sat together at the table and spent time with Chris looking over our finances and future prospects. Chris and his company are highly organized, everything is getting done on time. Also, we feel and trust that he has our best interests in mind, meaning no hidden upsell or offers of some extra policies. Thank you, Chris!”

S. Drummond

“Chris is extremely knowledgeable and personable in all financial matters. He assisted my husband in getting his pension funds transferred over from the UK, which was a complicated process, but he persevered and came through for us when others we consulted did not know what to do. We are confident that we are well on track for our retirement needs. That is mostly due to Chris’ great advice. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris /Ravens Rock to anyone who wants to invest and build for their future. He goes above and beyond.”
