save when you’ve been able to keep your work hours, there are always some things you can do to stay on budget.

The key to getting through these financial challenges is to return to three money management basics.

Ryan Weiss, vice president, group customer product and experience at Canada Life, tells how:

identify spending

M

any of us have read the news reports that some families are saving more than ever during COVID-19. But lockdown has also triggered its own set of financial pressures (hello, online shopping therapy) and it can be easy to lose track of spending when we’re stressed. So how do the “savers” do it?

While everyone’s situation is different and it’s certainly easier to

Take a hard look at your credit card and bank statements for the last six months. Do you see stress spending? Over-indulging? Too much take out? We each have our own triggers.

Weiss suggests downloading a money management app to help monitor in real-time. Canada Life offers a free, third-party money management platform companies can add to their employee benefits packages.

It gives employees access to a no-fee spending account to auto-deposit paycheques, a cashback reloadable spending card and a money management app designed to simplify their personal finances.

make a budget

The next step is tougher. You have to budget for sensible spending targets and stick to them. Keep tabs every time you open your wallet. If your purchase will put you over budget, lock it down.

create an emergency fund

Weiss recognizes emergency expenses come up for all of us but cautions it’s easy to get in trouble with high interest credit cash advances or payday loans, so it’s best to plan ahead.

The insurer’s money management app benefit enables users to track their spending and round up purchases to transfer extra amounts to either their Canada Life tax-free savings account or registered retirement savings plan, or to a sub-account (a painless way to help build an emergency fund). They can even borrow up to $500 interestfree from themselves, with no additional charges, in the form of a threeday payday advance.

Life can’t always wait for payday, so be sure your short-term solution doesn’t create long-term problems down the road. ■ — News Canada

aking a healthy dinner every night can be tiring and tedious, and living with arthritis and other illnesses can make it much worse.

Here are six tips from the Arthritis Society to make mealtime easier.

helpful kitchen gadgets

There are many kitchen gadgets on the market that are specifically designed for people living with arthritis.

Make meal preparation something to look forward to by using it as an opportunity to try a new recipe or experience a new food. preparation

Before you begin cooking, organize your workspace and make sure you have all the items and ingredients you will need close by.

one pot or pan

Making your meal in one pot or pan will reduce the number of dishes you have to wash. Those that can be placed in the dishwasher (if you have one) are an added bonus.

batch cooking

Make many servings at a time, then store them in individual containers to help you save energy and

eat healthy. By preparing meals only once, you’ll prevent any unnecessary overexertion.

pre-cut fruit and vegetables

Today, there are plenty of options when it comes to fresh and frozen pre-cut fruits and vegetables. Removing the steps of washing, peeling and

chopping can help you save time and energy.

tips on how to

save money during a pandemic

W

e all know setting some funds aside for an emergency and life goals is important. But it can be hard to do, especially during a pandemic. Fortunately, there are saving strategies you can try even when you’re not raking in a ton of cash.

The first step is improving your financial literacy so you can feel confident about tackling your savings and money goals. Here are some other tips to consider:

pay yourself first

Many people have trouble saving because there is no money left by the time they pay everything else. One solution is to pay yourself first. That means taking money off the top of each paycheque to put into your savings account. After that, take care of your bills and other needs.

make your money grow

You probably already know that your debt gets bigger because you pay interest on it. The same idea ap-

plies to saving accounts and plans, but you get the interest. The amount you save grows.

Let’s say you put your money into a savings account or plan where you get 5 per cent interest. For every $100 you save in a year, you’ll get an extra $5.

check out government programs

The Canadian government has set up special savings plans to help your money grow more quickly. Depending on your goals and life stage, a Registered Education Savings Plan, Tax-Free Savings Account or Registered Retirement Savings Plan might work for you.

You can learn more about these government-approved savings plans and boost your money skills from ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Money Matters program. It’s a free introductory financial literacy program for adult learners that offers online courses and workshops. Learn more and access free workbooks and activities at abcmoneymatters.ca. ■

moving with dogs

BY CHUCK RESNICK

oving can be one of the most stressful events in life, so why should that be any different for your dog?

Here are 10 tips on how to prepare your dog:

10. never place them in moving trucks

Under no circumstances should you place your dog in the back of a moving truck. Even safely tucked in a well-ventilated pet travel carrier, the truck is almost always hot (even in winter) and of course, the doors are closed.

Dogs crave the attention of strangers and can create obstacles which will impede the move.

7. pack lots of treats

Have dog treats on hand for move day to keep him or her quiet. It’s also good way to get your dog to listen and obey. And, it’s a great idea to have water and nutritious human treats for your movers as well.

6. pack a separate box of your pet’s toys

Once at your new home, your dog may be frightened of the new surroundings, so, having familiar playthings ready will reduce stress levels.

‘If your dog will be 5. let your movers around during the know to expect fido move, let your movers If your dog will be around durknow ahead of time. ing the move, let your movers know You’d be surprised ahead of time. You’d be surprised how many men are how many men are afraid of dogs. afraid of dogs.’ Whether large or small animals, it

way to get your dog ready, more relaxed and calm for when the movers arrive. Depending on your dog’s age and size, draining his or her energy level may not be easy, so plan frequent walks. I know that a 30-minute walk barely makes a dent in our dog’s energy level.

2. use “mess” breaks

Make sure you let your pet out for “mess” breaks. Nothing will ruin your moving day experience more than a ‘surprise’ from your dog inside your new abode. Keep him or her on your property to avoid making a bad first impression on your neighbours.

1. have fun

Moving into new digs is a time to celebrate. Have the movers take a pictur of you, your family and your dog in your new home. What a perfect reminder of the day you just shared. ■

doesn’t matter. Also, there are movers that are allergic to dogs.

9. make a doggy date

4. don’t ignore them

8. give them space

3. keep them hydrated

Your dog will most likely want to play with the movers and probably everyone else, so take him or her to a kennel, dog spa or have a friend or relative dog sit at their home, before the movers arrive. Those will be the best places for your furry friend; then you can devote your total attention to your moving activities.

If your dog must be with you during your move, keep your loved one outside or out of the movers’ way.

After the move you will be busy unpacking, so don’t ignore your dog.

Take regular and long walks, if you can, to explore your new neighbourhood together or even short breaks from unpacking, to play. Time together will help your dog be better behaved during this change in everyone’s environment.

Don’t forget that your dog will be excited on move day and will need plenty of water. Exercise is the best
