Student Lines of Credit
Student lines of credit are another way for students to pay for the post-secondary education, if they cannot get grants or loans from the government.
Death of EPost, More Madness, and #BestMoneyStories
It’s becoming evident that Canada Post’s Epost service is losing its appeal among customers. I received a note from Bell, stating that they will no longer be using Epost to send my bill, and that I should retrieve it from their website instead. As a major client of Canada Post, it’s possible that Bell’s move might inspire other companies to abandon the service. I don’t hold the service in high regard, personally, as it doesn’t integrate with Outlook or any other email reader.
The March Madness Tournament is known for producing unpredictable and exciting results due to its win or go home format. The recent upsets have left many brackets in shambles. It’s unfortunate that the Buffett Bracket, which was a lucrative offer by the Wizard of Omaha for anyone who could predict a perfect bracket, isn’t happening this year due to legal issues. The chances of that is:
To calculate the total number of ways to fill out a bracket take the total number of possible outcomes for each game (2) and multiply it out 63 times: 2 x 2 x 2….x 2, or 2^63. The odds come in at one in over nine quintillion – odds that don’t seem very promising.
And my favorite team at March Madness? The UC Irvine Ant Eaters with their 7’6″ Center Mamadou Ndiaye, great team name and a mountain in the middle, wow.
Do you have your taxes done? It is time to get it done, no time to lose on this important task. It’s also Palm Sunday this weekend, so if you were thinking of going back to Church, might want to start this week, and beat the Easter rush.
My Writings for Week Ending March 7th
Only in Ottawa would you have folks so excited about a hockey game that they throw hamburgers to celebrate (and the players eat them):
- So my First Real Post from 10 Years ago, was more of a warning for the folks who might read my ideas, not to follow the advice, and please don’t sue me for that advice or opinions.
- So the Best Financial Decision Ever that I made, I was worried might be the biggest blunder I might have ever made, but luckily it ended up working out quite well for me and my family.
- Over on LinkedIn I updated an older story back from when I was hunting for a new job Your Facebook Page IS Your New Reference, and it is still very true today, many employers do extensive Internet searches on candidates.

Spring has Sprung, Ten Years, The Madness and #BestOfThisWeek
Spring 2015 started out as a snowy time, but the snow eventually did go away. How many times I celebrated writing this tome.
Thank You TD
Thank you TD for giving me a bill paying tool that tells me the last time I paid a specific Bill. ALways quite helpful.
Ten Years and Still Going
After ten years of writing here, what have I learned? Not that much really, but it has been fun and that is the main reason.
