We are also sure that saving more money is another favorite that you will find on many go-getter's lists. If only there was a way to do both?... there is! Ditch that pricey gym membership which your lazy self always finds excuses not...
Black Friday deals are all around us. The temptation is very real with "save 40% off here, buy one get one half price there". How about we do one better and offer something that will grow in value helping pave the way to financial freedom? We, of course are talking about real estate. Home ownership is that asset that most Canadians want to have in their portfolio. Ok...
We're obsessed lately with Etsy.ca. There is just so many awesome stuff on it! One could totally decorate there whole condo with unique items found on Etsy.

For those of you who like to invest in the stock market then you know it hasn't been easy in recent days. Times like these are a great reminder on why one should have a diversified portfolio containing both real estate and stocks.

As the colder seasons approach I can't help but miss the warm feeling of a high quality plush carpet at my feet. Now I agree with most of you who think you can't go wrong with wood flooring. It does look great and in terms of resale it does help, but my feet still long for the comfort of carpet. I can hear you shouting "go invest in some slippers why don't you!"...but...
