Gary Vaynerchuk hosted Tony Robbins on his Youtube channel on March 1st to discuss Tony’s new finance book, Unshakeable, and oh man, if you are interested in investing in the stock market, it is worth your time. Keep Reading
Did you know the President can’t delete his tweets?! It could be a matter of federal record keeping, and is certainly news to me.
Two congressmen (one a democrat and the other a republican), sent a letter to the White House this week “expressing concerns about the Trump administration’s record keeping habits and its nontransparent use of social media and other forms of electronic communication.” Keep Reading
Yesterday in my video I discussed the factors that I saw as the cause for partisanship, and one of the main ones was inequality based on the fast-pace of technology development, and how technology is displacing people who are not able to keep up. I had an IRL question about populism, so thought I’d put together a post that dives a little deeper into explaining it. Keep Reading
Sundays are a special day. As indicated by the name of this site, they’re meant for lazy mornings, often spent in bed (preferably crisp white sheets), with creamy coffee and a newspaper (I’m partial to the National Post, WSJ, or The New York Times). Today is no different, in fact, I write this from bed, with a coffee on one side and a paper on the other. Keep Reading
During the Q&A at the most recent Discussing Finance event held at Unbounce, the most common answer from the panelists was, “well it depends on your financial goals.” This answer was given to nearly every question asked regarding savings vs. investment, how much to save, how much to invest, what kinds of investments are best to get into, etc, etc. My impression is that because the tools most commonly discussed, RRSP and TFSA accounts, basically have one-size-fits-all recommendations (use them! Max out your contribution space!), there is a misconception about there being a straight path to financial success. Much like our careers, each person’s financial path and strategy is completely different from the next.
In order to determine what to do with your finances and how to create a personalized financial plan, you must start by defining your goals. What is most important to you? What you want to do with your money will determine your savings and investment strategy. Keep Reading
Last week, on Wednesday evening, we got together at Unbounce to listen to four experts discuss different aspects of personal finance: investing via the TFSA, RRSPs, stock trading, and giving.
Many thanks to Chimp for partnering with us on this event, and thank you to all who attended!
Today the Financial Post published a short but concise commentary from Editor-at-Large Diane Francis. I think the commentary is noteworthy because of the ideas she shares, particularly around media bias, which I haven’t seen much about from other news sources recently: Keep Reading

Well, it’s already been a hell of a week for international trade. Trump formally withdrew the US from the Trans-Pacific Partnership today, and says that he’ll renegotiate NAFTA “at the appropriate time.” Keep Reading
Let’s start with what they’re not for: parking cash and looking for interest. It seems, because of the misleading name of the TFSA, tax-free savings account, that many people think it is an account best used to save money and accrue interest. While some banks will provide a high(ish) interest rate for cash in a TFSA, the reality is that this is far less than even a conservative investment in an ETF or mutual fund. Keep Reading
