Budgeting doesn’t need to be a spreadsheet nightmare. Spend less than you make. Track where it goes. Live below your means and stay smug about it.

Tuition Costs Up? Really, I didn't notice!

Tuition in Canada continues to soar while inflation drags behind. Time to rethink how we save for education.

💰 Canada’s middle class is fading.
In 2025, income inequality has widened—dramatically.
The top 20% hold over 64% of all net worth, while the bottom 40% hold just 3.3%.
Wages are stalling. Debt is rising. The squeeze is real.

The #ODSP is an important topic in the #Ontario #Election #Onpoli . This is an example of how confusing and frustrating the current program is, and Doug Ford wants to cut it more?
ODSP is a big #OnPoli topic. The Liberals want to double it, the Tories want to cut it.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Support your local library, allow it to educate and expand minds.

The Ottawa Public Library system rocks!
The power of libraries to educate, and open minds up to more than what is just in front of your nose, is astounding. Support your local library.

What is Couch Potato Investing? Surprisingly, you need neither a couch nor a potato; it is passive investing using Index Funds or ETFs. It isn't lazy investing; you do need to get off the couch occasionally.

Advent Fin Calendar Day 6 - A Bill?

The time to start thinking about how much #Christmas will cost is not after Christmas it is now. Don't have January Financial Bombs going off.

OK it seems interesting here. Not sure what to make, would be nice if their iPad app expanded and took up the page, but let’s not get picky.

By the way, here is a Cardinal, I like birdwatching too.
