Not the coffee and magazine shop in Halifax, which is a great place to kill some time between appointments. What I mean here is what you do on a day in day out basis. Are your daily routines helping you get ahead, tread water, or allowing you to fall further and further behind? This should […]
By this I don’t mean your phone, power or cable bill. I mean Hurricane Bill. He is coming here to Nova Scotia and you should get prepared. Surf over to the National Hurricane Centre’s web site, and by the way going surfing at Lawrencetown beach may not be the best idea. Another source for great information […]

We all love to buy, but generally we don’t like to be sold. I like to compare it to driving, unless I am in the driver’s seat it’s just not the same. Let’s just face it we have all been sold to at one time or another. It’s just the experience of the sales process […]
Chances are if you have not said it in your life time you have had it said to you. However in this instance I am using the expression to refer to the state of the economy. Is it you or the economy that has the biggest effect on your financial future? Be very careful how […]
Every where you look people are obsessed with this so called recession. It took them forever to declare that we were in one. Now everyone wants to be the first to say that we are on our way back out. However if you speak too soon, and without the proper amount of facts, the animal […]
It’s an attitude as well as a work ethic. Some would rather put off till tomorrow what they do not want to do today. Funny thing is that these same people are the ones with next to nothing in savings, buried in debt and living pay check to pay check. The one’s who do it […]
After spending the beautiful weekend with my wife and kids playing at the pool and seeing adults wearing much less than they should, it’s back to work tomorrow. I am using forecast in this instance not to describe the weather, which was wonderful, but to talk about a forecast in the sense of a prediction. […]
According to Wikipedia it means mathematically the entirety or all of something. Lot of people know it and say it but how many of us actually give 100%. By this I mean day in day out on a consistent basis. If this was the case, we would not be complaining that we need to loose 20 […]

Call for desperate measures. What if a tragic event happened in your life (like death of a spouse, loss of employment or divorce) how would you handle it? Are you prepared for it financially. Would you have enough money? Would you have to borrow from the bank, friends or family, or have to liquidate assets. […]
So that is what you are thinking, but you don’t have the guts to say it or lack the exit plan to leave just yet. So what do you do? What are you passionate about? Can you get paid to do it? Do you have other people who you support? Will they be negatively affected […]
