Hi, welcome to MYD!
My name is John Labrador, a dad to a 4-year old kid, and a licensed financial advisor.
I created the Modern Yolo Dad page because I wanted to help educate Dads on the ways they can live a truly YOLO life with peace of mind and fewer worries about their family’s financial future.
🎯Mission: To help bring awareness about how Dads (and parents, single adults) can enjoy the many benefits of life insurance.
🎯Vision: To see every Filipino Dad protected and that each family has at least one policy especially for their breadwinner.
🎯Goal: To educate Dads about the ways they can grow and protect their finances so they can live life to the fullest!
I believe that most Dads carry the financial burden of the family- from putting food on the table to securing our kids’ dreams. And the uncertainties, the little details in between where we are now up to the point where we want to be, SCARE US.
Life offers us the only constant, and that is change. And our journeys as Dads are full of many most significant WHAT IFs that haunt us or make us sleepless some nights.
WHAT IF:
❌My kid gets sick?
❌My wife gets sick?
❌I get sick?
❌I lose my job?
❌I get in an accident that will permanently disable me?
And probably the heaviest ‘What if’ of all:
❌WHAT IF I DIE?
❌Thank God if you survive the disease, but will you survive the cost?
❌If you don’t survive, will your family survive the cost of losing you?
Before I became a financial advisor, these had been my greatest questions, and I believe you are also thinking of the same. The thought of dying is already unsettling, but the idea of leaving your family behind with debt or unsecured financial future is the scariest part of it.
I remember my father would use his old shoes and clothes to work just to provide us our needs. He would always choose us over his own, and I know that sometimes, it makes us guilty to indulge in these little things because we know that our priorities have changed.
You may have wanted those new shoes but you chose to buy your kids’ shoes instead, or you decided to put away that money into your savings account. These little sacrifices make fatherhood (and parenthood in general) bittersweet.
When we became parents, we realized that we can’t ‘YOLO’ the way we used to in our younger years.
And that’s why when I became a financial advisor, I have created a new goal. And this goal is also the main reason why financial advisors do what they do-
➡️➡️and that is to help you enjoy the present and live life like this day is the last without feeling guilty or worried about your family’s financial future. ⬅️⬅️
Moreover, as financial advisors, we:
✅are your partners in planning and preparing for life’s significant milestones.
✅Will help you learn the basics of Risk Planning and how to safeguard your family’s future.
✅Raise awareness about health/medical concerns.
✅And race against Life’s biggest WHAT IFs.
Ultimately what we do is help you PLAN FOR THE WORST.
And remember: THE ONLY WAY TO WORRY LESS IS TO PREPARE FOR IT.
So, going back to why I created MYD, it’s because I am on that path, and I want you to be also an MYD (Modern YOLO Dad).
Together, we will build a community of Financially Literate Modern YOLO Dads.
Again, welcome to my page, and please join me as we work on your financial breakthrough.
See you around!
