Travelling $ tip: When abroad, you might be offered to pay in your HOME currency. This can easily be 5%+ more expensive than paying in the LOCAL currency. It's called Dynamic Currency Conversion and here's how it works: youtu.be/AdLb527Mxjo #personalfinance

The massive value that a real financial advisors provides is not providing answers. It’s asking questions and listening. Ditch your 217 page financial plan and try listening.

What does your debt cost? It's not just about the money... there's lot of ways debt can impact your life... not saying that is is impacting you in these way. But figuring out what it's costing is a great way to figure out if it's worth fixing.

Going from waitressing a year ago to now carries a LOT of life-adjustments. But 3 paychecks in has shown me how 1 of the greatest scams in US is the idea that financial struggle is due to “poor character.” It’s a huge myth designed to keep people from empowering themselves. /1

This is awesome and sooo on point with what we're chatting about in the community this week (debt). Read it and ask your neighbour for a cup of sugar: buff.ly/2LnNYkX

NEW POST: Emily wrote about her debt journey (and why having debt doesn't stop her from being a bad ass): buff.ly/2VfJD7W
What is a deduction? A deduction isn't magic. It's the money that you need to spend in order to make your money (and run your business). The government allows you to 'deduct' that amount from your taxable earnings.  Here's how it ends up saving you some money in the end.

What can you deduct? Here's a rough frame work for thinking through what might be deductible with the CRA.
