‘Till Debt Do Us Part Is Ridiculous and Humiliating
Opinion What to do with 15 minutes to kill over a quick lunch and nothing good on TV? I’m scrolling through the 800-channels-but-nothing is on digital universe, when I come across a title that says, “’Till Debt Do Us Part.” It didn’t exactly sound scintillating, but...
Setting Up An Online Store
There are four essential components that make up on online store. The first one is a catalog or list of the goods or service you are selling, the second is a shopping cart or area in which people can see what they are purchasing, third is a secure connection and the...
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
In the spirit of my recent rash of political commentary articles (rash and politics just seem to go together so well) I thought I would give a shout out to a recent idea proposed by a Liberal Party in Canada. Ok, so it isn’t THE Liberal Party of Canada (federal), but...
Sports, Bread, and Circuses
The Romans had a simple theory, the idea was that the millions of people in the empire wouldn’t look around them and get mad at their decaying standard of living as long as they had “bread and circuses.” There are definitely parallels to be made today. The Native...
Why Cutting The GST Was Great Politics and Terrible Economics
As some of you may have picked up on I tend to have a slightly right of center bias on economic issues (not social ones I should quickly point out). I tend to believe in many of the bedrock foundations of fiscal conservatism such as a balanced budget, the...
Picks, Shovels, and Rent
There is an old saying that during the gold rush, it wasn’t the guys who found the gold that got rich, it was the businessman that supplied the picks and shovels. I’m wondering if a similar situation is not developing right now as North America embraces its energy...
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...

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...
