National Capital Financial Bloggers Association Meets Again
Last night, the National Capital Financial Bloggers Association convened to discuss the pressing financial issues of our time. We enjoyed some drinks and chicken wings, but make no mistake, our discussions were serious and informative. These meetings are invaluable for expanding my knowledge of personal finance and hearing firsthand accounts from other financial experts.
Please read these sites, they constitute an excellent financial planning and investing base to work from.
My Writings for the Week ending November 9, 2007
- New Housing Price Increase Decelerating? Housing Price Increase Drop That is a confusing way of saying that the increase in new house prices is slowing down.
- Canadians are Investing More Discover the world of investing and make money work for you. Learn how to research and choose the right investment options for your needs.
- Buying a New to Me Car Buying a used, or new to me car is always a process fraught with a great deal of research and still you may be tricked into buying a lemon.
- Friday Random Thoughts Unemployment is eroding parents’ retirement plans, but is there anything one can do? Read about Kippers and how my daughter ran 10 Km, the tax cuts, Tim Horton’s Quickpay Card, and Digital TV on my blog.
Random Musings for a Friday
- The Loonie continues it’s roller coaster ride with it peaking around $1.10 US on Thursday and now a down turn being seen on the markets for Friday. Are you cross border shopping yet?
- Stats Can says that Canadians are Investing More but where, is a better question?
- The Canadian Capitalist talked about using the TD E-Series Mutual Funds in your RESPs, that I really need to look into.
- I am off to a Pseudo Wedding Reception in Southern Ontario, so I may have some statements about the relative costs and is it a good idea to bankrupt yourself at the start of a relationship (or your parents)?
- A major topic of conversation with the bloggers was the price of cars and how to buy a car. I am getting a “new to me” car on Monday, and am I getting a good deal? I have no idea.
