Why Credit Cards Are Dangerous For Students
I am on the record as having said that I believe students should sign up for credit cards. There are many reasons for this, but chief amongst them are the facts that you need a credit card to do anything online, and you also should have one in order to begin building...
The Easiest Way To Save 3k
I’m still waiting for the day that I overhear someone say “Crap! I saved way too much.” It does not and I’m confident it will not happen. That’s because we all want to save more. The problem is that it’s difficult, especially when you’re a recent college graduate just...
Why Give It Away?
So why spend dozens of hours of my life putting together an eBook on ETF investing – and then give it away? Purely out of the goodness of my heart of course :) No, in all seriousness, a large part of the motivation to do this eBook was the fact that I want to offer...
ETF Investing – Low Maintenance and Stellar Returns

If Everyone Always Wins How Do They Build The Casinos?
So you've watched the movie “21” (or maybe its much better ancestor – Rounders) and now you figure it’s time to go out and make some money on this whole gambling thing. Gambling is a weird phenomenon for human beings in my opinion. I mean, we walk into these...
Golf vs Cocaine Addiction
I’ve never been a big golf guy. I always preferred to play sports with a little more action like basketball, boxing and wrestling; however, I am apparently getting old. More and more of my friends are taking up a set of clubs and playing the sport of gentry...
RRSP Contributions vs Paying Off Credit Card
After the seasonal marketing push for RRSP contributions that we recently seen exert its pressures the last few weeks, it struck me just how single-minded the whole thing seemed to be. While it’s true that not enough Canadians are using RRSPs (only 5.3% of the total...
Respect For Online Degrees
I can’t help but wonder if the future of university and college campuses involves students never even leaving their dorm rooms (at least for common undergraduate courses). After all, how much more personal is sitting in a 500 seat lecture hall versus watching a...
Can We Just Admit We’re Cheap Already?
Hi, my name is Nelson, and I have a confession to make. HI NELSON! Uhh, hey everyone. I'm here because I'm an alcoholic. Sorry, wrong therapy session. I'm actually here because I'm a cheap bastard. It's true. How am I a cheap bastard? I'd count all the ways, but...
Happiness = Having Kids or Not Having Kids?
My long-time girlfriend and I recently visited some old family friends of mine. We ended up having a great time, but on the way home, we sort of had a sudden realization. The extremely comfortable lifestyle we had just witnessed could be all ours if we made one...
Becoming A Member Of The Yakezie Family
When we first started our blog here at My University Money (about 200 posts ago now) we weren’t sure how we were supposed to measure ourselves. We knew that we didn’t want to measure ourselves by how much money we made for a couple of reasons: 1) Measuring by dollar...
Change Your Answer Not Your Taste In Music
Picture this: You’re in college. It’s 9:00 in the morning. Your brain isn’t fully functioning just yet because your roommate had some friends over night. Perfect scapegoat. It has nothing to do with the fact that you were up until 4:00 in the morning reading what you...
The Challenges Of Writing An eBook
I reported about a month ago that I was pushing off from shore and beginning my quest to pen an eBook worthy of your collective attention. I believe I have made some great progress along the way, and learned many lessons, but I must admit that it has not come...
What Makes A Good Student?
So last week we took a look at what makes a good professor or teacher. Perhaps equally relevant is the question of what makes a good student. Now obviously there is a difference between knowing what makes a good student, and being willing to put in the time in order...
Don’t Let Financial Anchors Weigh You Down
In my last article, we explored how our fear of regret could inhibit us from taking action. Let’s stay on the same psychological path but change things up a bit. Instead of focusing on our tendency to do nothing, let’s look at something that influences our minds when...
