Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
Saving money can be challenging for the most disciplined. It’s hard to resist the urge to spend money that’s sitting in an account, especially if you have things you sort of need to purchase. Not actual needs, but things you think you need. If this sounds like something you struggle with then maybe the 52-week savings challenge (aka the 52 Week Savings Challenge) is for
The post-Christmas season can be a crazy time to grab some great deals. While Black Friday and its aftermath (Black Saturday and Cyber Monday) are one of the biggest shopping times in America, the post-Christmas period can be a great time to land on some post holiday sales. Last year, mobile orders rose to 50 percent on Christmas Day. Which simply goes to show that
In December 2017, I set out with a goal. I wanted to be self-employed by the end of 2018. It seemed like an impossible feat but its now December 2018 and I’ve been working for myself for the past six months. If you’re wondering how to become self-employed in the next year or so, there are a few things you can do to start preparing

With that in mind, I thought I would follow up with a more detailed post on the ins and outs of

Sometimes we find ourselves in a bind with a bill to pay and no money to pay it. Typically, I’d imagine this happens around the end of the month when rent becomes due, and we haven’t budgeted correctly. Regardless of the reasons, you might find yourself with the need to make $300 quickly. Easy Ways to Make $300 Quickly So what can you do? I’ve
Exercising can be a challenge. It seems that every month I make a new goal (that I never end up achieving) to be more active. But since the scale never seems to move (because you can’t go to the gym for 15 minutes and expect to lose 20 pounds) I end up giving up before I’ve even started. But what if there was a fitness
Gross, the “b” word. No one likes to talk about building a budget but with the new year approaching and your credit card bills weighing you down, you know it’s time to start. Stat. Budgeting is a serious pain that can help you out in the long run. But man, is it crappy to think about! However, we have just over a month until 2019
It’s that time of year again when it starts to get a little cooler and we begin to dream of faraway beaches and our next sun-filled vacation at the Brando Tetiaroa island French Polynesia (or wherever your dream destination may be!). But going on a vacation costs money and we’re not always sure of the best way to go about saving for it. But fear not, we
With Canada federally legalizing cannabis, there are now several small cannabis producers, growers, and manufacturers could see explosive growth in the near future.
