Case Summary
Quebec self-employed household with variable income, one dependent, and priority on cash-flow resilience before aggressive growth steps.
Operating Approach

Modeled Outcome
The scenario shows rising stability as emergency reserves, portfolio assets, and housing equity compound across 15 years.
Educational scenario only: Scenario-based educational model. Not financial advice.
