Do you trust advice from a rich man more than from a poor man? Why? If I was a rich man, I wouldn’t tell you how to get rich, but that is me.
The season of Easter is here, time for you to restart, renew and reestablish things in your life.

Stats Canada noted last week that Food Prices Continue to Rise especially in the area of fresh fruit and veggies.

It was my son’s birthday this week, and with that I revealed one of the reasons for The Origins of the Canadian Personal Finance Place. It hasn’t turned into the cash cow I had hoped, but it has been cathartic.

Food prices are always volatile, and in 2016 they continue to bounce around.
