The Financial Impact of a Posting
A posting isn’t just a change of scenery—it’s a financial transition. Here’s what to consider:
- Cost of Living Changes
Moving to a new location can mean higher (or lower) expenses for housing, transportation, and daily living. - Taxes & Benefits
Different provinces have different tax rates and military benefits. Are you making the most of them? - Insurance & Investments
Your financial protection and growth strategy should move with you. Does your plan still fit your needs? - Budget Adjustments
From moving costs to new expenses, a fresh start is the perfect time to reset and optimize your budget.
Real life: Rob and Marie move to Quebec
When Rob received his posting message to Quebec, he and his spouse Marie were excited—but also unsure what the move would mean for their finances.
They quickly discovered that Quebec’s financial landscape was different from their last posting:
- Higher Income Taxes: Their take-home pay looked a little smaller compared to when they were in Alberta.
- Lower Cost of Living: But housing costs were lower than expected, which helped balance things out.
- Subsidized Childcare: As parents of a toddler, they were thrilled to learn that daycare would cost far less than in their previous location.
With a little help from a SISIP Advisor, Rob and Marie adjusted their budget, updated their insurance, and even made a game plan to increase their investments—without losing sleep over money.
A quick check-in with SISIP made all the difference.
