update your kitchen without a reno

When it comes to home improvement on a budget, the kitchen can feel like a nonstarter. Appliances, flooring and countertops are all expensive to switch out, and the amount of work is basically a renovation. But take a

4Rent.ca March 17–31, 2023

second look – you have kitchen DIY options that won’t break your back or your budget. Try wallet- and workfriendly updates to these areas:

cabinet colour

Replacing your cabinets is pricey and messy. But you’ll amaze yourself

with how much personality a fresh coat of paint can add to your kitchen. Brighten up dark doors to create a bright, clean and airy feel. Take plain white cabinets and drawers, and paint on a layer of mahogany sophistication. Feeling bold? Paint with a bright accent colour like red or blue

to really let that part of your kitchen pop. Switch out the hardware to a new metal and you’ll end up with completely new cabinetry.

the lighting

The great thing about swapping your lighting setup is that it will

enhance all your other DIY choices. Go with a central hanging light for a classic feel, or a set of track lights to put the spotlight exactly where you want it. Many kitchens have an unused light fixture in the ceiling, so you can even add a second set of lights without having to worry

about rewiring or tearing into the ceiling.

your faucet

DIY that makes an impact doesn’t have to mean everything but the kitchen sink. A new faucet is easy to install, and it can make a surprising difference to the feel of your kitchen. Look for one that matches form with function: a pull-down faucet will let you more easily keep the sink pristine, and if it uses Delta’s Touch2O, you can turn it on with a tap anywhere on the faucet and avoid messy handles during meal prep. A timeless design with a modern feel can fit into just about any kitchen.

fighting inflation, making the most of your purchasing power

Inflation is quickly raising prices of goods and services, and significantly impacting monthly budgets. But there are ways to help lessen the effects. The first thing to do is figure out where inflation is hurting your household budget the most, likely with gas and groceries.

To help offset high gas prices, plan your errands and routes to cut down on travel time. Set up a carpool for your daily commute or the kids’ activities, and take public transit,

bike or walk when the distance and weather permits.

For groceries, try to find in-season local produce, check weekly flyers for sales and plan your meals to avoid unnecessary waste. Further stretch your savings by growing your own greens, fruits and vegetables in a garden at home.

When substitutes aren’t available, find ways to mitigate costs. Rewards programs can help you save on future purchases and adventures. If you’re not part of a rewards program, look

for one that maximizes the money you spend, such as the BMO Ascend World Elite Mastercard.

Travel, entertainment and dining don’t need to be put on the backburner due to inflation. It’s been a long two years and many of us are eager to get back to the activities we’ve missed out on. Use your earned rewards points towards hotel rooms, flights and tourist attractions. With a plan in place and early preparation, you’ll be able to enjoy your summer holidays within budget. ■

credit ratings and why they matter

In the Canadian financial system, credit history is king. Without, it’s hard to secure most cell phone plans or rental agreements, which is why learning about credit and how to build a credit history is essential for all Canadians – especially newcomers.

Like many seeking their first credit card in Canada, newcomers might expect to receive a lower credit limit. This can be frustrating when it’s clear that access to a higher limit can help improve your credit score and is more efficient for larger purchases.

“Newcomers receive less support and education around credit than they would for other facets like finding a job or housing,” says Amit Brahme, senior director of the Newcomer and Cultural Client Segment

at RBC. “Something many of us who are used to the system overlook is just how critical credit education is to settling down in Canada.”

Since regularly using a credit card helps to build credit history – and credit history paves the way for future purchases, such as rent, purchasing a car and eventually owning a home – it’s worthwhile to seek a banking partner that provides access to higher credit limits with no credit history required.

here are the top three important things for anyone to learn about credit in Canada:

1. What it is: A credit score is similar to a report card for your finances that represents your credit riskthe likelihood that you will pay

your bills on time, pay back loans, etc. The higher the score, the more likely a bank or other lender is to approve a loan request. Loans can go towards things such as opening a business, continuing your education or securing a mortgage.

2. How it’s calculated: Multiple factors are taken into consideration, such as your payment history, the length of your credit history and your used credit vs. your available credit.

3. How to use it: Ensure all bills are paid on time and in full and, if possible, try not to max out your credit limit each month. To improve your credit score, it’s best to use up to 30 per cent of your overall available credit.

social life without overspending

Spending money on social activities can be overwhelming when everyday life feels unaffordable or you’re trying to save up for something special. Here are some ideas to help you live your life to the fullest without breaking the bank.

be the person who plans

Most social groups have people who are more active in creating plans for getting together. They come up with ideas, make reservations and calculate costs. If you step up in this capacity, you’ll have more opportunity to influence the final decisions. Next time you’re setting a date, suggest some options that are more af-

fordable for you, like an outdoor picnic. Then step up when it comes to deciding on logistics like which park or backyard you’ll meet at.

be honest with your friends

If you find you’re spending too much money going out with friends, tell them you need to mix up activities in order to save some cash. Chances are your friends are in a similar situation and will appreciate someone suggesting more affordable hang outs. And even if somehow they’re not, they won’t want you hurting your own stability just to get together. While talking about money can be intimidating, it’s worth discussing where you’re at with

your friend group so you can stop worrying.

take advantage of rewards

Redeeming rewards points can make lots of things more affordable and accessible. But not all points programs are created to be equal; be sure to choose one that makes the most of your spending by giving major points on everyday purchases like dining, gas, groceries and transit. The BMO eclipse Visa Infinite card for instance lets you earn five times the amount of points on purchases and even provides priority access to special events like complimentary winery tastings and advanced film festival tickets. ■
