Financial Awareness:

Layoffs are a reminder that your employer is not your family.

Do your job well.
Log off on time.
Invest your money.
Use every benefit.

Loyalty isn’t a currency in corporate, being replaceable is the reality.

Financial Awareness:

7 credit score mistakes Canadians make without realizing:

Closing your oldest credit card, kills your credit history length

Carrying a balance thinking it helps your score, it doesn't. It costs you 19.99%

Applying for 3 cards in one year, drops score 30-45 points

Never checking your report, errors are more common than you think

Using 80%+ of your credit limit, crushes your utilization score

Co-signing a loan carelessly, you own that debt if they don't pay

Missing even one payment, stays on your report for 6 years

People think investing only works if you have a lot of money. In Canada, that is not true.

Registered accounts let you grow money even with small, regular payments. What matters most is starting and staying consistent, following the rules set by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

Let’s understand the accounts first.

TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account)
• Money you earn and take out is not taxed
• Good for short-term or long-term goals

RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan)
• Helps you save for retirement
• Contributions lower your taxable income

FHSA (First Home Savings Account)
• For saving toward your first home
• Contributions lower your taxes
• Withdrawals for a home are tax-free

RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan)
• For your child’s education
• The government adds FREE $500 each year

On my next post, I will share how you can start investing with small deposits.
