editors’ notes
a
re you too busy to manage a home? Perhaps you’ve done the homeownership thing, and want to unshackle yourself from the costs of upkeep and home maintenance?
Most everyone these days is looking at ways to de-stress and simplify their lives, and renting rather than owning one can be one of the easiest ways to get relief. When you really think about it, it’s an option that may take some getting used to! Needless to say, when you’re renting a home, your “to-do” list will likely look very different than those from your homeownership days. Whether you’re a life-long renter or a homeowner in need of a change, this issue of Renters Guide is for you. We’ve got some great advice on renting and decorating in the issue. Check it out! Your new “to-do” list is waiting.

t
he first time I moved, I had no idea what I was doing. My first place was a great little junior one-bedroom. It didn’t need much furniture – just a futon sofa, two little side tables/coffee tables a kitchen table, some stools for the kitchen island and a little black-and-white TV. I thought I’d just drive my stuff over in loads and have a friend help with the big stuff. I had no idea how many loads it would take for all the pots and pans, dishes, toiletries, pictures, knick-knacks, books, cat supplies... Just my clothes and shoes ended up being a carload on its own. It was in a trendy area, above a store, on a main street. On three separate occasions I ended up getting parking tickets because I couldn’t park in front of my apartment in rush hour. Oops. My second move I rented a van. It took forever. I wasn’t very good at packing a van, and because I underestimated how much stuff I had, I needed to make two trips. I ended up paying a surcharge for keeping the van late, but I did manage to avoid getting parking tickets. My third move I rented a truck. I had lots of friends help. No tickets, no surcharge, but the food and beverage bill for the helping hands added up. By my last move I got smart – I hired a moving company. Moving day is never easy. The organization and preparation it takes to have a move go smoothly takes some effort. It’s one of those things that gets easier with experience – but is never easy. It’s one reason we have articles that offer expert advice in Renters Guide – if you’ve got to move, might as well take advantage of all the experience the pro’s have. Ready to make the move? We’re here to help, with more than just moving day. Our magazine and website, TheRentersGuide.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments, informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Henry Farm
Don’t be fooled by the name, this is prime urban living!
W
by Ivan Sandoval
hen your residence is atop a valley looking down to the world below, suffice it to say that you are living on prime real estate. As the name suggests, the neighbourhood of Henry Farm on the top of the Don Valley was initially a farm property that belonged to George TheRentersGuide.ca S. Henry who was Premier of Ontario in the 1930’s. Now, houses, apartment buildings, townhouses, schools and TheRentersGuide.ca parks have come together to create this tight-knit community in a high-demand part of North York.

Check out these listings: Homestead 130 Parkway Forest & 85/95 Forest Manor 647-495-8366 25 Parkway Forest Dr 647-493-5410 125 Parkway Forest Dr 647-493-5411 80 Forest Manor Rd 647-493-5412 1751 & 1761 Sheppard Ave 647-493-5413 The Area Henry Farm is located right where the Don Valley Parkway and Highways 401 and 404/DVP meet. The 401 marks the southern border, while Sheppard Avenue marks the northern border. The east Don River marks the western border before hitting Leslie Road while Don Mills Road marks the eastern border. Henry Farm is nestled within several other unique neighbourhoods including Bayview Village, Don Valley Village, Graydon Hall and the Parkwoods. All of these areas have significant rental populations, no doubt due to the fact that they are all close to highways and public transit, including the Sheppard subway line and Oriole GO Station. Shopping Henry Farm is located adjacent to Fairview Mall, one of the favourite shopping destinations in the GTA. It boasts over 270 stores and services. Fairview also includes a theatre and several restaurants and cafĂŠs. Directly behind the mall you can find the Fairview Library and Theatre, providing area residents a valuable amenity.
TheRentersGuide.ca
For daily needs, residents can walk across Don Mills to Parkway Forest Plaza, which includes a grocery and
TheRentersGuide.ca
pharmacy, and is located beside Parkway Forest Park, one of three parks in the area. Havenbrook Park, which borders the 401 and the Betty Sutherland Trail are the other two greenspaces available to Henry Farmers. Living in Henry Farm There is plenty of activity and an ideal mix of urban and suburban in Henry Farm. While the abundance of parkland and the Don Valley offer escape to lush greenspace, all of the urban amenities are also quite easily accessed from this location. Well-serviced by TTC, this area has both 24-hour bus service and access to the subway. Getting downtown is just as easy as escaping the city heading north. While boasting an excellent mid-town location Henry Farm offers the best of both city living and suburban escape. Within Henry Farm there are both townhouse and apartment rental options. The area immediately surrounding Henry Farm includes a lot of mid-sized apartment buildings. While the area appeals to all, from urbanites to families looking for a quiet community there really is something for everyone – even the Premier of Ontario!

finances
How to take finances from mine and yours to ours, at any age Ready to say “I do” to joint finances? Here’s how to combine dollars and cents at any life stage.
F
irst comes love, and then comes…a joint bank account. Whether a couple is cohabitating in their twenties, getting married in their thirties, or remarrying in their sixties, at some point in any serious relationship the conversation about joint finances will surface. Regardless of life stage, successfully integrating finances requires open and honest communication to determine how to best combine and plan for the future together.
According to research from TD Canada Trust, which surveyed adults in committed relationships, the top three personal finance products that Canadians combine with their partner are a joint bank account (64 per cent), a mortgage (60 per cent) and a joint credit card (50 per cent), compared to only 36 per cent of couples who have a joint financial plan.
“Start by discussing debt, saving, spending habits, financial goals, and credit history to determine if there is anything that may affect the ability to secure future loans together,” said Farrell Jones.“Next, work together to create a household budget that meets the needs of expense and debt management and has a little left over to put towards the collective financial goals.”
“A common first step in combining finances with a partner is a joint account for shared household expenses, and like other aspects of the relationship, communication is key to keeping things harmonious,” said Janice Farrell Jones, TD Canada Trust.“It’s important that both parties have a clear understanding of household finances - from day to day spending to long-term savings and investments - and all aspects of each individuals finances - from everyday banking to credit card management - to set the framework for a strong financial future together.”
Paying down student debt and saving for a home in the future, for example, are common goals for many couples in their 20s. As with any financial goal, it’s important to discuss and align on key considerations like timing, affordability and overall expectations. In the case of home ownership, couples should also make sure they agree on whether they are buying for the long or short-term as it will have a financial impact down the road.
TD Canada Trust provides some advice that may help in maintaining financial harmony when integrating finances with a partner at any life stage: The 20s TheRentersGuide.ca Combining finances is often a first for many couples in their 20s, whether it’s renting an apartment together or working to pay down existing student debt. When and how to share money will always vary depending on an individual couple’s financial situation and relationship, but TheRentersGuide.ca communication is always key.
The 40s Paying down debt, raising kids and saving for retirement with many financial priorities, streamlining is essential for couples looking to combine their finances in their 40s. “First and foremost, couples at this life-stage should focus on what will make life easier, financially, together,” said Farrell Jones.“Consider working with an expert to make sure each individual financial strategy aligns with the other to maximize savings potential TheRentersGuide.ca and keep all of the household financial priorities on track. Couples can also further streamline by making savings automatic with preauthorized transfers into a TFSA, RSP and a child’s RESP.”
TheRentersGuide.ca 22G
Some couples may choose to merge certain aspects of their finances, while retaining individual accounts for additional saving or discretionary spending. Whether a couple decides to combine everything, keep everything separate, or somewhere in the middle, it’s important that both parties are ultimately working towards the same financial goals. The 60s Likely, many couples in their 60s have a solid financial base, but with fewer peak income earning years remaining, it’s important to have a clear picture of what retirement looks like and what it will take, financially, to get there. “Spending time with the grandkids will have a much different price tag than travelling the world, so alignment on the retirement vision is essential,” said Farrell Jones. “If there is not enough saved for the type of retirement a couple wants, they should work with an expert to help determine how much more needs to be saved and ensure each individual financial plan complements the other to maximize savings and investments.” Whether married or common-law, couples should also ensure their retirement savings strategy takes advantage of spousal RSP contributions to help reach their retirement goals faster while lowering income taxes now and in retirement. About the TD Canada Trust Love & Money Poll: TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group (www.environics.ca) to conduct an online custom survey of 4,564 Canadians aged 18 years and older who are currently in a committed/serious relationship. Responses were collected between January 10 and 25, 2013. About TD Canada Trust: TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers, providing a wide range of products and services from chequing and savings accounts, to credit cards, mortgages and business banking, to credit protection and travel medical insurance, as well as advice on managing everyday finances.

Making apartment buildings healthier,
ONE STEP AT A TIME B y Te d Whi tehead
A
s Ontario’s leading advocate for quality rental housing, the Federation of Rental-housing Providers of Ontario (FRPO) is continually looking for ways to improve the quality of life of apartment dwellers and staff in the province.
The organization created the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) to help apartment-seekers locate professionally operated and maintained buildings. Landlords and apartment managers whose buildings are enrolled and qualify agree to maintain stringent standards. Tenants also have responsibilities in keeping their quality of life healthy and vibrant. The push for environmental friendliness and healthier living has a place in the today’s rental residences and can be achieved in many ways with the help of renters. Obeying the Smoke-Free Ontario Act of 2005 is one example. Under this Act, smoking is not allowed in the common areas of apartment buildings such as elevators, hallways, stairwells, parking garages, laundry rooms, lobbies and amenity spaces. Smoking in individual apartments is not TheRentersGuide.ca regulated, but some renters today are choosing to smoke only outdoors on their balconies or outside the building. “Respecting the rights of everyone,
smokers and non smokers alike, TheRentersGuide.ca
28G
leads to a healthier, safer and more harmonious living environment for all,” says Mike Chopowick, director of Policy Matters, Federation of Rentalhousing Providers of Ontario. Most people understand that outdoor air quality is affected by things such as smog and the exhaust from vehicles, but may not realize that indoor air can actually be a lot worse. This is because residents live in proximity to commonly used products that may be toxic and pollute the air that they breathe. To avoid this scenario, tenants can do simple things such as switch to unscented cleaning products, and if they paint their walls, they can use low-VOC paints. As time passes, we see new materials and techniques on the market that contribute to Greener, healthier, more sustainable living. Looking to the exterior, some buildings now have Green roofs with plant material that absorbs water and is easier on the city’s storm system. Low-growing succulents are one example of plant life that helps. On some of these roofs, rainwater is collected to use for irrigating the landscaping. Plants and trees have a great impact on the environment in filtering toxins. There may be spots around apartment buildings where well-placed trees
can even provide shade and reduce cooling costs in the summer months, and switching to non-toxic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers for the building’s landscaping is to everyone’s benefit. FRPO and the Greater Toronto Apartment Association (GTAA) have been assisting the Centre for Equality Rights in Accommodation (CERA) to develop voluntary guidelines and associated educational resources to promote healthier apartment buildings. As these guidelines are developed, they will be added to the Certified Rental Building Program (CRBP) that provides apartment-seekers with a tool to help find professionally operated and maintained buildings. Based in Toronto, the GTAA represents the interests of active and concerned firms participating in the multi-family rental housing industry. Visit crbprogram.org and frpo.org

Want style? Add Tile
An easy and rental-friendly DIY project! Renovating is all the rage these days. Tv show after TV show chronicling new bathrooms, new floors, new everything! It’s enough to give rental residents some serious reno-envy! One of the most popular and easy do-it-yourself reno projects is the tiled backsplash. Elegant, stylish and functional, it’s become a true favourite. But what property management company would let you start tiling your backsplash? That’s a no-no – unless you Smart Tiles.
36G
Smart Tiles are a quick and practically mess-free project that can be done in your apartment. They’re the renter’s friend when it comes to beautiful backsplashes – and other areas that could do with a punch of colour or tile style.
right over existing tile for a quick fix to change up a dated look.
A veneer that looks like tile, a Smart tile captures the look with a great polished finish. The product is sold in 10-in. by 10-in. sheets and has an TheRentersGuide.ca adhesive backing. Easy to clip to size and easy to mount on any flat surface, they’re very forgiving and easy for even the most novice do-it-yourselfer. They can go on a painted wall or even TheRentersGuide.ca
It doesn’t need messy grouting or sealing like actual tile, and needs no machines to grind corners to fit pieces around the fixtures. When it’s time for a change or time to move on, it’s just as simple to remove from the wall as it was to put up. Using a hair dryer, heat up the tile until the adhesive softens. The sheets peel away very easily.
The adhesive is strong and will resist water and peeling – it’s been designed for the demands of the kitchen and bathroom so it can take humidity without any worry.
Available in 19 styles that come in six different series, including: Classic, Subway, Murano, Designer Series, Minimo and Bellagio, finished looks come in a variety of trendy colours and patterns that look similar to stone, porcelain, metal and glass. Reasonably priced – especially since there are no tools, grout or sealant costs – it’s available at the major reno/ hardware stores. Find out more at www. thesmarttiles.com and follow Smart Tiles

avoid common
packing mistakes by Dan Hopkins
M
ore than 4 million people moved residences in Canada last year, many of whom did the packing themselves. For some, it works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.

moving
Here a re a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see is people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight. Use this rule of thumb: the heavier the item, the smaller the box. Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings. 2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you have lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.Often, we hear of renters who think 40 or 50 boxes will be enough, and then realize they need upwards of 80, two days before moving day. 3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the movers arrive. Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move a customer’s belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each others’ way. This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items such as chairs, lampshades, cushions, etc; we place these items in the ‘attic’ (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure.
TheRentersGuide.ca Next, we create a ‘box wall’ stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the attic in place. We then stand plastic TheRentersGuide.ca
wrapped mattresses against the box wall and secure everything with tie-off straps to keep belongings from getting jostled during the move. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on and, this decreases the capacity of the items that can be moved at one time. It also eats up precious time and, therefore, money! 4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes move them to the front of your apartment and stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them by the door, organized and ready to go, instead of having movers go back and forth to each room can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box. Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time and money.
5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety. So, when it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way. Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

The power of colour
The colours you choose can dictate the feel of your home – and your mood by yanic simard photos by Brandon Barre
62G
C
olour is a multi-billiondollar industry. It is also the most powerful aspect in the design world. It can change the way you’re feeling, stimulate thought, increase your appetite – it’s really quite phenomenal. You’re drawn to colours that you like when you’re shopping for clothing because you know you’ll feel good when you’re wearing them, and the same thing goes for interiors. Statistics show that most people spend about 90 per cent of their time inside, a large portion of which is in their own home. If you live with colours that make you feel good, it will make for a better quality of life. Deciding which direction to take in terms of colour is where many people tend to panic. My advice is to look through several magazines, tear out the pages that have elements you like, put them all in a folder and, once you have at least 20 different style images, analyze the colours that appear most often. This is a great way to get inspired and decide on colours for your own space. Paint Particulars I am very particular about colour selection and when I design a space, I like to keep the walls through any open areas in a consistent hue. My entire place is painted in Benjamin Moore’s OC-23, Classic Grey. It’s a very soothing colour that really adapts to the other colours around it – like a chameleon. It’s a nice hue to wake up to in the morning and to fall asleep to at night. The tone of it varies throughout the day with the amount of light; it’s brighter in the day and much richer in the evening. When you’re choosing your paint colour, remember: it’s just paint. It’s not permanent and can be easily changed if you’re not happy with it. People always forget that you can TheRentersGuide.ca get sample cans from the paint store. Pick up a maximum of three different testers that you like, paint sections of
TheRentersGuide.ca
each on different walls (or paint large sheets of white Bristol board and stick them up), and live with them for a few days. (If you give yourself more than three options, trust me, you’ll never decide). Then narrow it down to your favourite two, and then finally pick the one. Get Used to It Choosing a colour palette should never be an impulsive decision; you should take time deciding so you know you’ll be comfortable with it. Once you finally do paint the walls, you might still wonder if you selected the right colour. However, keep in mind that you have to give yourself the chance to live with it. Big changes take time to adapt to. For instance, if you’re going from burgundy to off-white you can’t expect to get used to it within the first few hours. No-commitment Pieces Pillows, accessories and other accent pieces give you the chance to have fun with colour, since they’re ‘non-committal.’ I’ve used hints of blue and green throughout my interior. It’s nice to have your entire residence consistent in terms of colour because then you can move pieces from one room to the next and you’ll never have to worry about making sure it coordinates. Just remember that choosing colours for your home won’t happen overnight. It’s a process that starts with getting inspired; the rest will fall into place. It should be fun, not painful. And if you find that you really can’t do it on your own, it’s probably time to hire a good designer to do it for you.

City of Toronto launches blog as resource on heritage conservation districts The City of Toronto is currently studying five potential HCDs, comprising about 2,000 properties. The five areas being studied are: • Historic Yonge Street: Yonge Street between Davenport Road to the north and Carlton Street to the south, including areas west of Yonge Street on Carlton Street, Wellesley Street, St. Joseph Street, St. Nicholas Street and Irwin Avenue. • Garden District: from Allan Gardens south to Moss Park between Jarvis and Sherbourne Streets
T
he City of Toronto has launched a new blog to help Torontonians learn more about the Heritage Conservation District (HCD) studies and plans happening throughout the city. The blog is called Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto.
“The new blog will be a resource to learn about milestones, events and ways to participate in the heritage conservation district studies and plans currently underway in the city,” said Councillor Peter Milczyn (Ward 5 Etobicoke Lakeshore), Chair of the Planning and Growth Management Committee. “This is an example of how we want Torontonians to be better informed and more engaged in our city.” Each HCD study or plan has a dedicated section in the blog where readers can find detailed background information, study area boundary maps, read community consultation presentations and use feedback forms. The blog also has historic photo galleries and a page dedicated to answering frequently asked questions. “This is a really exciting initiative that creates a meaningful way for us to share our work with the public, while also creating TheRentersGuide.ca a vehicle through which we can collect feedback that will in turn shape our work,” said Jennifer Keesmaat, Toronto’s Chief Planner. The Heritage Conservation Districts in Toronto blog will be updated regularly to ensure that anyone interested in these studies has access to all of the latest information. TheRentersGuide.ca
• St. Lawrence: from Adelaide Street south to the railway corridor, between Yonge and Parliament Streets • Queen Street East: Queen Street East from the Don River to DeGrassi Street • King/Spadina: between University Avenue and Bathurst Street east of Spadina Avenue, the study area runs between Queen and Wellington Streets. West of Spadina Avenue, the study area runs between Adelaide and Front Streets. Each area is subject to two phases of work – an HCD study followed by an HCD plan. HCDs are enclosed by a boundary and designated under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act. Once an area receives the HCD designation, the heritage designation helps manage change and growth within the historic neighbourhood. District plans are designated to protect and maintain heritage value and character. More information is available at hcdtoronto.wordpress.com. The blog is maintained by Heritage Preservation Services, City Planning Division. Toronto is Canada’s largest city and sixth largest government, and home to a diverse population of about 2.8 million people. Toronto’s government is dedicated to delivering customer service excellence, creating a transparent and accountable government, reducing the size and cost of government and building a transportation city. For information on nonemergency City services and programs, Toronto residents, businesses and visitors can dial 311, 24TheRentersGuide.ca hours a day, seven days

decor
Find the essence of autumn with your décor
A
As temperatures begin to drop and your home becomes more of a haven than ever, adding autumn touches of décor is a great way to get excited about the seasonal transition. Sally Morse, director of creative services for window fashions company, Hunter Douglas, offers the following tips for fall decorating: Natural Accents – Bring fall indoors with you. Because natural elements are earthy and neutralizing they will complement whatever your décor style happens to be. Try filling a vase with dry arrangements or a large bowl with pine cones for a festive and eye-catching centrepiece. Hanging a fall foliage wreath on the outside of your front door is another great way to bring in the new season. Lighting – During the summer months it’s easy to take for granted the TheRentersGuide.ca abundance of natural sunlight. However, as the daylight recedes in the fall months, it’s a good time to start thinking about investing in new window fashions that enhance your natural lighting. One way to do this is with Hunter Douglas Silhouette window shadings, which feature soft fabric vanes suspended
between sheer fabric facings that work to draw light deep into the room, thus maximizing daylighting efficiency. Layering – Turn your home into a cozy retreat by bringing out the throw blankets to place on couches or on the foot of beds. From hues of burnt orange and forest green to chocolate brown and gold, draw from autumn’s robust colour palette and add throw pillows with rich patterns and colours around the house. NC

finances
Financial advice increases your wealth New Canadian research has proven convincingly that having a financial advisor helps people increase their wealth. People who’ve had a financial advisor for four to six years have more than 1½ times the savings of people that do not have an advisor but are similar in all other ways (such as age, income levels, and education). The longer people have had advice, the more their levels of savings improve. Those who’ve have had a financial advisor for seven to 14 years have twice the savings of those who are not receiving advice.
I
After 15 years or more, people with financial
t’s been a “chicken and egg” question for years: Do wealthy people seek advice, or does advice increase a person’s wealth?
advisors have closer to three times the savings of those who do not have advisors – mostly because simply having an advisor encourages people to save regularly and save more.
TheRentersGuide.ca That leaves one less “chicken and egg” question for us to ponder.

Paint Your Apartment
How to
by Jane Herman
N
othing gives a room a lift like a fresh coat of paint. And changing the colour is the easiest decorating touch in the world. But painting your apartment – even just one
room – is a lot more work than you might imagine. So look into it carefully before you attempt it.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
If you’re contemplating painting your apartment, speak to your landlord first to find out what the company policy is regarding painting, especially if you have a vibrant colour in mind. Many property managers have a schedule for painting their units and yours could be due. Most companies paint all the rooms in a standard neutral colour like an off white, which makes it easier to maintain as well as re-rent. The key to any successful painting project is preparation: Move any furniture in the room away from the walls and cover the floors and all the remaining furniture with plastic or drop cloths. Next, remove any pictures, mirrors, window treatments and electrical light switch plates. Loosen the ceiling plates of hanging light fixtures and cover them as well. Use a mild soap and water solution to wash any surfaces that are soiled or may have an oily residue from hands or cooking. Mask any surfaces not to be painted such as door handles with non-sticky painter’s tape. Clean the baseboards and tape them as well, overlapping the drop cloth. Spot prime any surface markings with a good primer to prevent the stains or marks from bleeding through the finish coat. Sand any rough surfaces with fine sandpaper and remove any sanding dust with a vacuum and damp cloth. Examine wall, ceiling and trim surfaces for nail holes, cracks or other imperfections. Fill the holes with spackling compound and wipe the spatula over the area until smooth. Priming is an important step that many amateur painters think they can forego. Priming helps improve adhesion of the final colour, block flaws and give the finished colour a uniform appearance and maximum sheen – in short, a professional look. The type of primer you’ll need depends on what was on the wall before you start, as well as the colour you want to put on the wall. Painting a lighter colour over a darker one requires a good priming. If you’re painting a dark or vibrant colour over white using a tinted primer can save you coats of paint. Check with your paint dealer to make sure you purchase the right type of primer for your room. It is common to use a gloss or semi gloss for doors and trim, an eggshell or matte for the walls and the least reflective type of paint for the ceiling. Matte paints are more forgiving of flaws on the wall while the higher the gloss the easier it is to clean and wipe down. If you are painting the entire room start with the ceiling and then paint the walls. Begin at a corner of the room, TheRentersGuide.ca using a two to two-and-a-half inch angled brush and apply a three-inch strip of coating along the perimeter where the wall and ceiling meet. If you’re not
TheRentersGuide.ca
comfortable with this technique, tape the edge with painter’s tape to achieve a perfect line. Do one section of the ceiling at a time. Use a roller to fill in the interior of the ceiling. Pour paint into a tray and slowly roll the roller back and forth to remove excess paint. Roll the width of the ceiling rather than the length. An extension pole will help you reach the ceiling comfortably Using the same technique, paint the walls along the baseboard and around the door and window trim, one wall at a time. Use a two-inch sash brush to paint the window sash, then the rails. Be careful to avoid painting the sash tracks. Leave the sash open until the paint has fully dried, removing any paint from your window panes with a taped razor blade (be careful not to scratch the glass). Fill in the walls will a roller, rolling the paint in a W pattern, and then spreading the paint to fill in. Roll from floor to ceiling to blend and finish each section. Work in small sections so that the paint doesn’t begin to dry before you can fill in the section. Let the first coat dry and then check to see if you need a second coat. Let the walls dry for 24 hours before painting the trim. Apply painter’s tape to the edge of the wall to ensure a clean job. If you make a mistake you can remove the wet paint with a damp rag before it has time to dry. Once you’ve finished painting, you’ll need to clean up, and dispose of any leftover paint. Clean brushes with solvent, squeezing out as much paint and solvent as possible. Rinse the brushes in solvent, then wash in soapy water. Rinse and let dry. Wrap and store in heavy paper. Disassemble the roller and submerge in solvent. When most of the paint has been removed, wash with soap and rinse thoroughly. (If you have used latex paint, substitute soapy water for solvent). You may want to save a small amount of paint for touch-ups. Close the can, mark with masking tape and store under your kitchen sink or in your storage locker. Used paint never gets discarded in the trash or poured down the drain, ensure you dispose of it properly. Your neighbourhood paint dealer can also be of a great deal of assistance and may have some great suggestions. Good luck!

e sure of the look you want, and you won’t have to spend big to create a knockout window treatment. Just like clothes – you don’t have to buy Chanel to have the Chanel look.
“If you’ve moved into a new home, you may be on a strict budget for a while”, says Mary Dobson, spokesperson for Levolor Window Fashions in Canada and CityLine guest expert.“But go ahead – dress up the windows any way you want. There’ll always be a budget version of your chosen look.”With help from Dobson, here are a few more pointers: • Pleated shades are making a big comeback right now. They are practical, they come in close to 100 different fabrics, and they offer performance features, all at a price that won’t raise your eyebrows. Imagine using just pleated shades for starters, then as the cash flow improves, dressing them up with drapes and a beautiful rod. • Wood blinds look great and are a favourite. They come in a range of neutral colours and slat sizes. Another choice you have is between real wood and the look of real wood. And, once again, with the passing of time you TheRentersGuide.ca may chose to frame wood blinds with ready-made drapes for a rich, traditional window. Roman shades are perfect for “show-off” windows. Once expensive, because they TheRentersGuide.ca
had to be custom-made, Levolor now makes them far more affordable with over 30 fabrics to choose from. You could select the latest luxury materials or you could select something like a funky stripe for the guest bedroom. “Or look at the simplicity of roller shades, which also come in a variety of fabrics, colours and patterns,”Dobson continued.“I really like Sheerweave—a techno savvy , translucent material that filters light without concealing the view. Get your colours right, create a look that works and your first house guests will wonder whether you won the lottery,”she said.“Your budget doesn’t really matter, it’s all in the TheRentersGuide.ca look of your window.” A closer look at the latest in window fashions is available online at levolor.ca.

What to look for in an apartment By Jane Herman
A
re you feeling a little overwhelmed by the challenge of trying to find an apartment? Even wading through all of the ads and listings in Renters Guide can be daunting, unless you understand how they are organized. But where do you start? The first criteria in your decision should be price: How much can you realistically afford to spend per month? Most financial planners recommend that your rent (not including extras such as parking, hydro, cable, etc.) should amount to less than 30 per cent of your monthly income. This may be hard to achieve, but thinking about how much you can spend on rent will also help you to set up a budget. Include all expenses you’ll be responsible for each month (food, utilities, telephone, transportation, laundry, parking, etc.) and other, annual or variable expenses, such as clothing, moving expenses, renter’s insurance, savings, recreation, entertainment, etc. The more you spend on rent, the less you’ll have available for other things. Next, determine what area you want to live in. How will you determine where to look? If you are new to the area, you may want to live near friends or relatives, within a certain commuting radius of work or school. If you have children, do you want to live in a particular school district? Are parks and play areas nearby? Is proximity to the transit or a major highway may be a priority Is the area convenient to shopping, library, recreation facilities, entertainment, restaurants, etc. What are the traffic patterns in the neighbourhood? How is the traffic at rush hour? How are the noise levels in the area at different times of the day, and would this be a factor in your decision? With these factors in mind, make a list of several different neighbourhoods in which you could look: Area 1: ________________________ Area 2: ________________________
TheRentersGuide.ca
Area 3: ________________________ Type of accommodation: Many apartments are in highrises. A highrise building is one that is six or more storeys, has elevators, security, laundry TheRentersGuide.ca
facilities, and, frequently, sports and/or recreation facilities and other amenities, as well as efficient electrical, heating and plumbing systems. A walk-up or low-rise would be less than five storeys high, may have no elevator and few conveniences. However, the rent would generally be less at this type of apartment than at a highrise building in the same area. Other kinds of apartments you could rent include: A basement apartment is a basement in a house that has been converted to an apartment. It may have a separate entrance. The apartment may have its own bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and heating system, or it may share those amenities with the rest of the home. A low rise apartment building may also have basement apartments. A duplex, triplex or fourplex is a group of two, three or four apartments together in the same building. Apartment Features Search through the Renters Guide listings to find those that match your criteria. They are organized by area. You should also use Renters Guide companion website, hometrader.ca. It is an excellent source of apartment listings, also organized by area. You can also find potential apartments by walking around or driving through the area you have chosen, or through word of mouth. If a friend or relative is happy living in a particular building, chances are you will be too. When you go to look at apartments, inspect them thoroughly before you sign the lease or give a first month’s rental deposit. Some landlords have a condition checklist on which to record details upon move in and move out. Be sure to inspect walls, floors, bathroom and kitchen faucets and fixtures, appliances, windows, doors, etc. Make sure you note such things as the condition of the property and the building. Note the size and location of the closets. You may want to take along a tape TheRentersGuide.ca measure to see how your furniture might work in the space. If you go through the process carefully, chances are you’ll be more satisfied with your decision after you move in.

Rental Agreements What You Should Know Before you Sign a Lease
W
hen you rent a home or apartment in Canada, the landlord will usually ask you to sign a written rental agreement. This legal contract is also often called a “lease.”
Under the laws of each province and territory, tenants and landlords have certain rights and responsibilities whether they have a written agreement or not. Nevertheless, a written lease agreement can help spell out all the terms you and your landlord want to have covered and agreed to. You may also wish to seek legal advice before accepting the terms. To help you know what to expect, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers the following list of terms that can be found in most rental agreements: • The names of the landlord and tenant(s). • The address of the home or apartment you are renting. • The monthly rent you agreed to pay, with or without utilities, parking, cable television or other services. • The date when the rent is due (for example, on the first day of each month).
TheRentersGuide.ca • The amount and terms of any rent, security or damage deposits you agreed to pay.
• A list of which repairs or upkeep will be your responsibility. • The term of rental period (most rental agreements are usually for one year, but some may be month-to-month or week-to-week). • The conditions for ending or canceling your lease, including financial implications and the amount of advance notice you must give the landlord if you decide to move out (for example, 60 days notice). • The rules or restrictions for subletting the property. • The amount the landlord is allowed to increase the rent in the future. • Any other specific restrictions (such as whether or not you can smoke in the home and whether you can have boarders, pets or a waterbed, etc.). • Details on when and how the landlord can enter your home or apartment. • The procedure for making changes to the contract. • A method for resolving any disputes or disagreements (for example, disputes about late rent payments, damage to the property or eviction). • Contact information for both you and your landlord in case of an
emergency (usually including a phone number, fax and email). For more information or a free copy of CMHC’s Guide to Renting a Home, call CMHC at 1-800-6682642 or visit our website at www. cmhc.ca.

Packing Tips and List Tips to make your move a little easier. Packing TiPs
❏ ❏
Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores.
❏
Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.
❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏
Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.
❏
Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.
❏
Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack
Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.
Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed. List the contents of the box on the side of it. Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home. Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less. Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint-Don’t pack all your books into one box!)
general moving TiPs
❏ Disconnect and bundle cords on television and stereo components. Label each cord with masking tape and a description of where to connect it.
❏ Plan and measure where you furniture will be placed in your new home. It’s helpful to draw a layout of your new home and sketch in the major furniture pieces.
❏ To save time on moving day, move your boxes from the basement, upstairs, or attic to the main floor prior to the move date. Consider carrying items from the back yard to the front yard or garage ahead of time.
❏ Keep your phone connected through moving day to stay in touch with friends, family and the moving company.

Loss Prevention
Insurance is great, but prevention is better
T
hey say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Think of insurance as the cure (sort of) to a number of bad things that could happen to you or your family. Yes, if you have a fire or a theft, insurance will help you pick up the pieces. But most people who have lost their homes in a fire — even those with great insurance coverage — will tell you that they would prefer if it had never happened in the first place.
Insurance gives you financial peace of mind. If you have the right coverage, no theft, fire, accident or hurricane can leave you broke. However, there are certain things that insurance cannot fix. For example: If your wedding ring or a priceless family heirloom is stolen in a break-in, insurance may cover the actual market value of the item, but the sentimental value cannot be replaced. If you suffer a fire and all your family photos are destroyed, you will feel a tremendous loss, even though the photos have no TheRentersGuide.ca monetary value. Insurers are in the business of compensating people when they suffer losses. Being so close to so many human tragedies,
TheRentersGuide.ca
insurers are passionately committed to loss prevention. They know that it is better to avoid suffering than to try to make up for it. If your home is uninhabitable for a period of time, you may need to move to a hotel or even a new, likely furnished, apartment. Some tenant’s policies will cover additional living expenses you incur during this time, such as meals (if you are in a hotel) and extra rent or room charges. Be sure to ask your insurance representative if you have this type of coverage, so that if disaster strikes you can focus on putting your life back together without worrying about the added costs. For more information talk to your insurance representative about your tenants’ insurance needs. The Insurance Bureau of Canada offers information for consumers to help make them aware of their insurance needs and assist them in understanding the types of insurance available. They are the national industry association representing Canada’s private home, car and business insurers. Its member companies represent 90 per cent of the property and casualty (P&C) insurance market in Canada.

quicktips
A lot on your plate?
These quick chores won’t make you late Time is very valuable To busy parenTs wiTh acTive lifesTyles. Between work, school and family plans, the big rush to get everything accomplished leaves little time to tackle basic household chores. One room that can often be neglected in all the hustle and bustle is the kitchen, yet it’s also the area of the house where all the activity happens. And when visitors come over, everyone tends to congregate in the kitchen - so it really needs to be an area that you can keep clean without a lot of hassle. To accomplish all the traditional kitchen chores without taking a lot of valuable time, consider these time savers: * Set aside a different area in the house for the collection of mail, school homework and work projects. Because the kitchen is often a gathering area, it’s a good idea to keep these items in another storage area so you can easily use the kitchen to cook when needed. It also makes a quick pick up much easier when unexpected visitors stop by. * Keep food covered in the microwave. A covering - like a dampened paper towel - can help prevent heating food from splattering all over your microwave and leaving a baked-on mess. If you do experience a food spill, clean it up immediately. This will help prevent the need to spend valuable time scraping and scrubbing the microwave to remove these difficult messes later. * Condense dish time. Only run your dishwasher when it is full to save water and energy. You can do this effectively by using Cascade Complete Action Pacs, which remove stuck-on food and greasy messes up to 24 hours later, guaranteed. So let the breakfast and lunch plates sit in the dishwasher until after your dinner without worrying if TheRentersGuide.ca they will get clean. The Cascade Complete Pacs are also powerful enough that you can skip the pre-rinse. Really. You can stop running the faucet and rinsing he dishes before TheRentersGuide.ca you put them in the dishwasher. Just
scrape off any scraps, and put them straight in the dishwasher. Skipping the pre-rinse can save up to 2,600 gallons of water per year (based on 12.5 gallons of water used to pre-rinse, at four loads per week). * Planning can save valuable time. If you plan your family’s meals once a week, and do all the grocery shopping in one trip, you can help save time and money on the purchase of groceries alone. Prepare a list of all the meals you’ll be making, the snacks you’ll need, and don’t forget the breakfast items. From this list, develop a grocery list and then head out to the store. This organization can also help keep your refrigerator cleaner. That’s because food items stored in the fridge will be consumed in
a timely manner, preventing accidental spoilage which could result in a mess to clean up. Making small changes in your kitchen routines - like only running the dish washer when it’s full and not prerinsing dishes, or condensing the number of trips you take to the grocery store each week - also helps improve your environmental footprint, in addition to helping you to save time. And each small change you make as a family helps lead to a big environmental impact.

Women
ARE KEY FINANCIAL DRIVERS
F
or more than a century the financial services industry has focused on men as the primary target for individual insurance and retirement savings. The tide has changed as women have surpassed men in their educational careers. A Statistics Canada report from 2007 stated that 61.5 per cent of undergraduate degrees and 54.6 per cent of master’s degrees are held by women. As a result, women have become the dominant economic force in our society. According to Mike Aziz, vice president of sales at Desjardins Financial Security, women’s purchasing power extends to all areas because they tend to control of most of these decisions for themselves, their families and other dependents. In fact, women influence: • 91 per cent of home purchases • 80 per cent of health spending • 90 per cent of financial decisions Actually according to a study by the Boston Consulting Group, Canadian women control 67.2 per cent of all household spending. That’s a lot of purchasing power in our economy. “What’s interesting is that while many women today are able to assert their TheRentersGuide.ca independence through their lifestyle and career choices, many still find personal financial planning to be very stressful,” said Janey Leslie, a certified financial planner with Desjardins Financial Security. TheRentersGuide.ca “Statistically, women live longer than men,
they play a key role in family care-giving and decision-making, but they are often in a more vulnerable financial position. So, it’s essential that women create a financial plan that can support their current and future needs and lifestyle.” Getting started: • First, think about what you would need financially to protect your family in case of an emergency like an illness or a job loss. • Second, know where your money’s going. Review your budget to identify any wasteful spending and make a goal of paying down your debt once and for all. • Third, create a savings plan for your retirement and for a rainy day • Fourth, review your life insurance coverage. Products like disability insurance, extended medical insurance and critical illness insurance allow you to focus on healing instead of your cash flow.

I LIke, I TweeT, I PIn, I Do David’s Bridal Poll reveals rising use of social media for Canadian weddings The rules of wedding eTiqueTTe are quickly changing as more couples are using social media for announcing, planning, and celebrating weddings, according to a David’s Bridal poll of 1,262 Canadian brides released recently. With a quarter of those surveyed getting engaged over the holidays (28 per cent), weddings seem ready-made for social media sharing – or oversharing, depending on how you look at it – and we may be seeing more couples logging into Facebook from the ceremony, reception or honeymoon. TheRentersGuide.ca
“Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting times for a couple, and it’s only natural that some brides want to share the news and all the details with their friends, family and followers via social media channels,” said Victoria Rucks, district manager at David’s Bridal Canada.“While some brides are more private, our poll shows that social media may be turning a traditional wedding on its head as many use various TheRentersGuide.ca
tools and apps to not only plan their big day, but are also integrating it into their wedding.” With 45 per cent of couples now setting up both special wedding sites and online registries, it’s clear that social media is valuable to those polled. Newly-engaged brides are also turning to social media to get inspired with wedding ideas (62 per cent), source vendors via Facebook (43 per cent), download wedding planning apps (35 per cent) and manage RSVPs online (24 per cent). Ms. Rucks added,“In David’s Bridal stores across the country, we are seeing TheRentersGuide.ca more of our brides seeking social tools for collaboration and inspiration so they can create a personalized wedding
TheRentersGuide.ca
celebration. Our brand promise begins with helping Canadian brides find the dress of their dreams and it continues with providing a variety of digital tools that support them with everything from budgeting, to sharing photos on Pinterest, to assigning tasks to the bridal party – all while staying connected with friends and family.”
Top Trends for social Brides Aside from helping to plan their weddings, David’s Bridal has pulled together the top trends for how today’s Canadian brides are using social media for everything after saying “yes” until they say,“I do.” The new norm for announcing engagements: When asked about how to share the news of their engagement, the majority of Canadian brides think it is okay to announce via Facebook (68 per cent), email (67 per cent) or text (59 per cent), but they draw the line at Twitter and Instagram as approximately six in 10 thought it was tacky to announce using these media sources. Couples stay online on their Wedding Day: While the majority of brides don’t plan on logging into their social networks on their wedding day (58 per cent), a whopping one in five (21 per cent) plans on staying connected and sharing their news with everyone on the big day. The New Honeymoon: A honeymoon retreat may no longer be a time to disconnect from the world. Surprisingly, one-third of brides plan on logging into their networks during their time away and one in five plans to share status updates. Almost half the brides (43 per cent) are sharing photos of their honeymoons online. Brides update their Facebook status TheRentersGuide.ca quickly: While only five per cent of brides updated their Facebook relationship statuses within minutes
TheRentersGuide.ca
of saying yes to their fiancés, nearly one in five (18 per cent) did so within hours of getting engaged and another 15 per cent updated the day after. The large majority (43 per cent) updated their status within the week. At the same time, over one third (36 per cent) of newlyweds updated their relationship status on Facebook the day after their wedding. Over half (52 per cent) did so within the week of saying,“I do.” Pinterest is on the rise: While blogs and wedding sites are the most valuable tools for brides as almost all (91 per cent) went online to these sites after getting engaged, Pinterest seems to be an increasingly important resource for Canadians brides. When planning their nuptials 42 per cent pinned photos on wedding boards and 48 per cent used Pinterest sharing boards Sharing the love – and photos: The large majority of brides are anxious to share wedding photos on Facebook, with almost eight out of 10 (79 per cent) planning to do so and 43 per cent are planning on posting honeymoon photos. Other plans for sharing the love include informing guests of wedding registry information (one in five respondents), sharing wedding inspirations (13 per cent) and showcasing the wedding video (11 per cent). Tradition rules for invitations: Brides still like the formality of wedding invitations as almost one in four thinks paper invitations are necessary for all wedding activities. Another half of Canadian brides (47 per cent) have mixed feelings about using paperless invitations. They believe it’s okay for wedding-related activities, like showers and parties, but not for the actual wedding. Only 15 per cent of respondents thought it was totally fine to go completely electronic. Future potential of technology at
weddings: Live streaming of the wedding may be a rising trend for Canadian weddings. While only nine per cent responded that they streamed their wedding to have everyone involved, 30 per cent are open to the idea. You may also see a Twitter station at your next reception, as 14 per cent of respondents said they wished they knew about it or thought of it before. In the coming years, using these technological tools may continue to grow among brides.
about david’s Bridal: With over 60 years of experience dressing women of all ages for life’s special occasions, David’s Bridal understands the importance of providing brides-to-be with a vast selection of exquisitely crafted bridal gowns and bridal party dresses. Known for outstanding value, fashionable designs and the ease of one-stop shopping, there are more than 300 David’s Bridal stores located across the US, Canada and Puerto Rico. Working with a knowledgeable bridal consultant, a customer can try on a wide selection of gowns and dresses in her size with the added convenience that most styles are available to take home the same day. davidsbridal.ca 1-877-851-2743.
about david’s Bridal poll: Methodology: An online survey was conducted from November 14th to 26th 2012. Email invitations were sent to a random sample of Canadian brides whose event date in David’s Bridal system was between February and October 2012. A total of 1,262 women responded toTheRentersGuide.ca the survey.

a Favourite Way to Save RRSPS aRen’t juSt foR RetiRement anymoRe B y Gai l Vaz -Ox lade
t
here was a time when the only thing a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) was used for was saving for retirement. The advisor-mantras,“Never touch this money” and “An RRSP is a long-term investment” echoed through the pages of the popular press. And, for as long as RRSPs were just for retirement, investing the assets accumulated were a simple exercise in balancing your willingness to take some risk against the kind of return you expected to earn.
TheRentersGuide.ca TheRentersGuide.ca
But RRSPs aren’t just for retirement anymore. The government allows you to use your RRSP as a savings plan for a down payment on a home. It allows you to use your RRSP to finance your on-going education. And those who wish to raise a family or go on sabbatical have long employed the RRSP as an income-averaging tool. It’s even used as an emergency fund by those who have suddenly found themselves unemployed. It would be fair to say that the RRSP has become Canadians’ favourite savings account. The problem with an RRSP being all things to all people is that its wider scope, its greater flexibility, its move from a hands-off-don’t-ever-touch-the-money retirement plan to a you-can-use-itwhenever-you-can-justify-it savings account is that the process of identifying your investment strategy has become more complex. Most people say they don’t have enough money to maximize their RRSP and set aside a non-registered emergency fund, which at least in part, explains the overlap between retirement savings and other types of savings that often takes place within an RRSP. One of the first questions you have to ask yourself when you’re trying to choose investments for your RRSP is,“When am I going to use this money?”If you’re using a portion of your RRSP savings as your emergency fund, then you’ll need to keep that portion of the RRSP assets fairly liquid so you can get at the money if an emergency arises. And if you’re going to tap your RRSP within the next year or three to buy a home, that money isn’t destined for long-term investment. You’ve got a short- to medium-term investment horizon and must choose investments that suit. So you’ll have to forgo equities in favour of a more conservative investment portfolio. Since you don’t have the time to wait out the bumps in the road that are part of the equity-investment experience, you’ll have to settle for less return.
TheRentersGuide.ca Being clear on how you plan to use your RRSP dollars is especially important when those dollars are being contributed to a spousal plan or the contributing
spouse could find money withdrawn from that plan taxed in his or her hands. That’s because the rules for withdrawals from a spousal RRSP state that if money is taken from a spousal plan within three calendar years of a contribution to ANY spousal RRSP, that money could be taxable in the hands of the original contributor. And that of course would completely defeat the income-averaging strategy the couple had set out to use. Make spousal contributions by the end of the calendar year, as opposed to the first 60 days of the new year since spousal contributions are measured on a calendar year basis. If you delay your contribution until January, you’ll end up extending the withdrawal period by another calendar year. If you’ve recently lost your job, you may be thinking of using your RRSP as a source of income while you search for another. That can be a good plan, particularly where you received a severance that is eligible for rollover to an RRSP. Keep a portion of any severance you’ve rolled to your RRSP fairly liquid until your probation period (at a new job) is over. Did you get laid off late in the year? Try to hold off taking withdrawals from your RRSP until the new year if you think you may be in a lower tax bracket. Most advisors agree you should rollover as much of your severance as you’re eligible to. For those people who have more severance than rollover room, this would be the time to catch up all that carry-forward room. Perhaps the toughest part about using your RRSP for myriad purposes is keeping track of which of your RRSP dollars are for what. Here, consolidation may work against you. Instead, consider opening up a separate RRSP for each of your purposes and file your statements based on what you’re trying to accomplish. So all those Bank of Montreal statements would go in your “Home Ownership RRSP”, while your TD Canada Trust statements would go to your “Retirement RRSP.”Separate accounts will not only help you stay focused on the purpose for which you are saving, it will allow you to keep your time horizon in perspective.
As you get closer to your objective for that plan your investment horizon changes and so, too, should your asset mix. If you’re planning to return to school seven years down the road, you might remix your portfolio at the five-year, three-year, and one-year marks. Finally, while the money in your RRSP is your money and you get to decide how to spend it, it’s important not to sacrifice your long-term goals for short-term ones. It’s easy to get focused on a single objective to the exclusion of all others. But to be balanced, you need to be taking a look at what you want your savings to do for you long-term, as well as shortand medium-term. So, if you’re saving for a home, instead of putting this year’s total RRSP contribution into your“Home Ownership RRSP,”consider dividing it equally between home ownership and retirement. Yes, it will take a little longer to get into your dream home. But when you do, you won’t be behind the eight ball in terms of retirement planning.

Stretch your meal ideas
C
with mozzarella
heese is a staple in the diets of many Canadians and thanks to the wide variety of options available, is easily incorporated into everyday meals and snacks. Some cheeses, such as stretch mozzarella, have unique melting and stretching abilities that help create a memorable dish to share with friends and family. With many uses beyond traditional Italian fare, here are some tips for enjoying stretch mozzarella with your next meal. Start with the best. Amongst all the different types of mozzarella, the best type for cooking is â&#x20AC;&#x153;stretch mozzarella,â&#x20AC;? such as Mozzarellissima by Saputo. With a mild, buttery flavour and superior melting and stretching ability, it will take-on and enhance the flavour of many dishes. Mexican, Italian-style. Replace cheddar with stretch mozzarella in Mexican lasagna, burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas to put a new twist on these fiesta favourites. Soup it up. Sprinkle shredded stretch mozzarella on your favourite soup and enjoy the buttery strings of cheese with every spoonful. Hamburger al formaggio. Topping your burger with a slice of Mozzarellissima adds a melt-in-your-mouth quality, and enhances the flavour of burger toppings.

Teach financial discipline
in your household
W
hether it’s welcoming home your adult child after graduation day or helping them pay off their credit card, parents feel the need to help their grown kids financially well into adulthood, which coupled with personal payments, retirement savings, and even elder care, can put a strain on anyone’s finances.
“High youth unemployment and increasing post-secondary education costs means many young people are more likely to rely financially on their parents well into adulthood,” says John Tracy, a senior vice president at TD Canada Trust. “As a parent, you want to help if your children are struggling financially, but it’s important your support does not compromise your own financial stability and retirement savings goals.” Tracy provides his advice on how boomer parents can practice tough love when it comes to family finances: • Get a plan and budget accordingly – Visit a financial advisor to develop a plan. With this plan in place, you will know how much TheRentersGuide.ca you need to save every week to help achieve your dream retirement. Refer to your plan before lending a financial hand to your children. Remember, your kids have decades left in the workforce to earn money, but you TheRentersGuide.ca likely do not.
• Pay yourself first – It’s vital that you prioritize retirement savings in your peak earning years, so you have enough saved to help live the lifestyle you want when you retire. Remember, if you can’t support yourself in retirement, then you risk shifting the financial strain onto your children instead. To make saving easier, consider automating your savings with a regular, pre-authorized transfer into your RSP. • Have open and honest conversations – It can be difficult talking about money, but it’s harder if you avoid it. Don’t assume that you are on the same page as your adult children. Be clear on what you are and are not willing to support financially. For example, if your child has moved back home, will they be responsible for paying rent or covering any household expenses?
TheRentersGuide.ca • Be a role model – Gradually shift your role from financial aid to financial coach. Help your kids establish a plan to get their expenses under control and pay down debts to take some of the financial strain off of you. NC TheRentersGuide.ca

Three steps to get back on
financial track O
ver the last several years, boomers who could retire are choosing instead to keep working. Some people prefer to stay active and engaged by tackling new challenges. But for others, this trend is truly financial: they either can’t afford retirement or they need more time to get back on track financially.
“Retired people today are living longer, more dynamic lives. So it’s important to have a solid financial plan for retirement,” says Michael Aziz, regional vice-president of sales investment products at Desjardins Financial Security. “Today, mature workers are often working well into their 80s. This provides them with a great opportunity to solidify their retirement plans, ensuring that their transition is financially sound.”
TheRentersGuide.ca
Since retirement can last up to 30 years for the average retiree, following these easy steps will help boomers become better prepared:
1
Estate planning. Preparing an estate plan is an important way to ensure that family and beneficiaries are taken care of financially. This plan protects savings against inheritance and probate taxes.
2
Fine tuning the retirement income strategy. At the age of 71, retirees must collapse their RSP accounts into a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF). Since asset preservation is critical, it’s very important to carefully select a RRIF product that offers growth and flexibility.
3
Worry-free retirement funds. The Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) product pays the contract holder a guaranteed and predictable retirement income for life, based on the age at which the first withdrawal is made. This means that investors have the flexibility to choose when withdrawals are made in order to maximize the guaranteed income they would like to receive.
“By implementing these essential strategies, they will find that their transition into retirement will be built on a solid financial foundation,” says Aziz.“And this truly is the secret to a happy and prosperous future.”
