Happy 21st Anniversary With over 20 years of personal finance blogging, this site has evolved from a broad collection of thoughts into a focused financial and personal journal. Initially covering everything under the sun, the author now writes selectively about family and finances, disabilities (especially the RDSP), and unique financial insights. While monetization was never a priority, the blog remains an open letter to family and self about money. Looking ahead, the focus is on rewriting and optimizing older content, using AI tools for SEO and social media automation. A growing interest in Money & Dementia will bring new perspectives, shaped by personal experiences with a loved one’s decline. Whether you’re here for financial wisdom or personal reflection, this blog continues to share meaningful insights for those navigating life’s financial challenges. Keywords: Personal finance blogging, RDSP, family finances, financial insights, SEO optimization, money and dementia, financial storytelling

21 years of personal finance blogging. Didn’t get rich. Learned a lot. Met great people. Now heading into retirement.

Opinion: Rather than paying down debt, Canadians are happily borrowing even deeper Debt is not in itself a ticket to a higher living standard. It can be a trap

Almost 1/2 of Canadians say they "regret the amount of debt [they've] taken on in their life."

Rather than paying down debt, Canadians are borrowing even more.

Oil futures open above $100 US Monday morning. Up 65% on the week. That’s as big a rise as after the Ukraine invasion in 2022, that set off peak global inflation. And there’s much more to come this time. My take on how to limit the damage: www.pressreader.com/canada/toron... #cdnecon #canlab

Among the 92K jobs lost in today's dismal US jobs report, were 12K MORE jobs gone from US manufacturing. That brings the total toll to 138K US manufacturing jobs (-1.1%) lost since Trump's '24 election. His policies are hurting blue collar workers; Canada can outlast him #cdnecon

Canada’s trade ambitions rest on a food system we’re dismantling The assumption appears to be that fewer experts can somehow do more with less—an impossibility in a system already stretched past its limits.

At a time when Canada is trying to build resilience, economic sovereignty, and independence from a single dominant market, weakening the CFIA is reckless and risks billions of dollars in trade.

Trump's new trade policy agenda has a clear message: expect more tariffs 'President Trump continues to flip the script on forty years of non-reciprocal trade practices …,' said Greer

White House's rebuilding post #IEEPA tariffs but @scottlincicome.bsky.social notes keeping #CUSMA exemptions could mean "he's not willing to blow up the N.A. supply chain."
Unpopularity from rising prices & Iran war also works in Canada's favor.

China slashes anti-dumping tariff on Canadian canola in final ruling | The Western Producer China on Saturday sharply reduced its tariff rate on Canadian canola seed in the final ruling of a 17-month anti-dumping investigation, following a thaw in relations between Beijing and Ottawa.

China's tariff on Canada's canola seed exports lowered from 75.8% to 14.9%.

Earlier reports indicated this was where the levy was going after the Canada-China deal in January.
