Finding the limits

I talk a lot about the small changes and shifts in this space and the power of all those little bits. Small changes and improvements are a great, low pressure way to move ahead. While I fully believe in the little bits, and I am constantly looking for the next little bit, I have madeContinue reading “Finding the limits”

Talk about it

I was out for a walk the other day and I wound up stopped talking to my neighbor about the stock market and his retirement savings. As I continued on my walk I started wondering if this is a normal thing or if it just happens to me. In just the last little while I’veContinue reading “Talk about it”

Acceptance

Feelings and money, probably not two things you generally think of together. I don’t think most people understand just how much our feelings are influencing the actions we take in life and with our money. This is a huge topic! This plays heavily into the idea of our beliefs around money that I posted aboutContinue reading “Acceptance”

Wants and needs

Indulgences. We all spend money on indulgences and we should. That is the money that adds richness and fun to our lives. What I’d like you to think about today is if those indulgences are helping or hindering in creating a life you love. Do they add value to your life? or just pounds andContinue reading “Wants and needs”

RRSP’s

It’s coming up on the time of year where banks will start the big push on RRSP’s. RRSP’s aren’t universally a great idea as they would have you believe though. So I’ve put together a few thoughts on them to help you decide if you should be putting your savings in an RRSP or aContinue reading “RRSP’s”
