This post is sponsored by H&R Block Canada, but the views expressed are entirely my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog. It’s that time of year again – cue ominous music – tax season. Filing taxes online in Canada is not the most comfortable experience, there’s always that niggling little bit of uncertainty that you …

It’s income tax season and for the vast majority of Canadians, that means a chance to do a little extra spending.

It’s the new year, and that means tax season will soon be upon us. Are you ready? Got all your receipts? Ready to claim all of your deductions to get the biggest return? If you’re like the majority of Canadians, you’re shaking your head no, but that’s alright, there’s time. Before you go to file, make sure to know what …
Since it’s almost the end of the year I thought I’d take a moment to look at how I’ve done on my goals for 2014. This year was my most ambitious year yet in terms of goal setting. Overall I planned to save $23,000, and with some well timed tax returns and other windfall money, along with $7,500 in freelance …
My emergency fund is done! It took me 20 weeks, but I managed to take my emergency fund from $2,610 to a fully completed level of $10,000. I completed this 2014 goal of mine on Friday after receiving some long awaited freelance income, as readers of this post know. This goal was almost as important to me as paying off …
Normally a post like this would be accompanied by a screenshot of my Mint.com account proudly declaring that my rebate was processed, but since ING Direct changed its name to Tangerine, Mint.com has decided it’s not going to load transactions from my accounts anymore. Get on this anytime Mint, I’d love to have my tracking software back please. So no …
My tax refund is here! Wahoo! This tax refund is not as impressive as the ones I’ve received in the past, because I’m sadly out of tuition tax credits this year. My days of mondo tax returns are over. (*tear). That said, I’m still super duper pumped to be getting a lump sum of cash deposited into my account! I …
*Throughout this post, when I say “my income”, I mean our income, as my husband and I have combined finances.* While 2013 was my year of paying off debt (actually it was more like my second year of paying off debt), 2014 is my year of saving. I’ve talked a bit about my savings goals in previous posts, but for …
If you spend enough time in the personal finance blogosphere, you start to develop a bit of a warped view of what “everyone else” in your social circle is doing with their finances. Myself, I tend to think that “everyone” is debt free, has a religiously tracked budget, and is working towards ambitious net worth goals. When things like this …
2013 is almost over. I thought that 2012 was a great year, but I can officially say that 2013 was even better. I’ve been extremely busy try to tie up loose ends are work before the year flips over, and as a result the end of this year has totally crept up on me. I don’t even have my Christmas …
