DOLLAR EN E $ $ They didn’t teach me that in school... By Sue Grubac
I was a good student, studying diligently, believing that at the end of 13 long years of school I would be prepared for the real world. I learnt about the reproductive cycle for the five major classes of vertebrates (the mammals were most interesting!); I learnt about Reign of Queen Victoria (glad I never met her); I learnt all the rivers in Russia (never learnt the Canadian ones); I learnt how to write Haiku (that will never pay the bills!) and I learnt to add, subtract and multiply polynomials (among many other things) BUT no one ever taught me about money. I never learnt to balance a cheque book, I didn’t understand the rules of credit cards, I had no idea what a credit bureau was, they never taught me about investing and I had never made a budget. I graduated from high school with NO Financial Literacy. By definition Financial Literacy is the understanding of how money works in the world: how to earn money, how to manage money, how to invest money (turn it into more) and how to donate money to help others. Financial Literacy is the set of skills that allows us By definition to make informed and effective decisions with all Financial Literacy of our financial resources. is the
I learned Financial Literacy through the school of hard how money works: knocks; it’s not a route I’d recommend, the outcome isn’t guaranteed. I meet with people from all walks of life; I see a variety of nationalities, the young and the old.. The one thing they have in common is that they’re all struggling to manage their finances because their Financial Literacy is low. I can’t agree with them more when they say: “I wish I learned this in school!” understanding of
Financial Literacy is gradually being added to the school curriculum so I have hope that the next
generation’s Financial Literacy will be much higher than the current generation. For those of you who are unable to take advantage of the new school curriculum, stay posted, I’ll be bringing you for tips to improve your Financial Literacy over the coming months.

Personalized Mortgage Solutions That Work
25
Rising interest rates and you. Over the past few years it seemed every expert was telling us that interest rates would be rising, but after years of record low fixed rates, I think many of us stopped believing the headlines. With bond prices dropping and yields on the rise, those rates that are tied to bonds have shown dramatic movement over the past month. For the most qualified, the rates on 5-year fixed mortgages have increased from a low of 2.89% to 3.59%, and are potentially still rising. The term, “jumping on the band-wagon” now comes to mind. Seems we may be seeing it in the mortgage industry as well. In the past few weeks, there have been number of articles speaking to the virtues of variable-rate mortgages. Are variable-rate products quickly becoming the better option? Should you renew into a current ARM product at PRIME - 40(ish)or take the security of a fixedrate term in the fear that rates will continue to rise? Economists are predicting the Bank of Canada will hold the overnight rate steady into 2014. That said, take these predictions with a grain of salt as many of those same economists had already called for increases back in 2012 and 2013. Economic conditions change and so do outlooks and forecasts.
Relatively speaking, variable-rate mortgages are cheaper today at PRIME 3% Before making any final decisions keep in mind two last items. First, in late 2008 both fixed rates and PRIME were dropping. Today, PRIME is remaining flat for the time being while fixed rates are rising. Second, credit and lending guidelines have changed significantly in the past five years. Today’s borrowers are better qualified and have fewer opportunities to defer interest costs using extended amortization and lower down payment options. That said, our rate environment today compared to August 2008 is quite different since both variable and fixed rates do not seem to be dropping. To really understand the best option, it’s best to discuss these factors with your dedicated mortgage broker. I can review the various products available and can help you select the best one that fits your lifestyle and financial goals. In the end, market volatility breeds uncertainty but it also brings opportunity. This is an ideal time to talk mortgage strategy.

“Eliminate 75% of your Debt”
Ballance Consulting
Helping you Avoid Bankruptcy By Judy Stephan
Are you feeling suffocated by your debts? Is the financial hole you are digging for yourself just getting deeper as each month passes? Does the future seem bleak as if there is no way out? Finding tools for change so you can avoid bankruptcy, and learning how to manage your debt and still achieve those financial goals can be achieved for 99% of debt sufferers. We can start by taking your financial portfolio and restructuring your debts to reduce them with affordable and interest-free payments. Giving you the most important tool of selfawareness, by understanding your spending habits through debt counselling and education, YOU too can eliminate over 75% of the original debt like so many others including businesses. Debt elimination strategies include: • In-depth effective credit rebuilding and budgeting • Understanding credit cards and the theory of compounding interest • Earning extra income with legitimate write offs (it’s not what you make, but what you keep) • Having someone on your side that represents you, and never the creditors.

Being in debt, feeling overwhelmed by your financial obligations, and being constantly hounded by debt collectors can have a disastrous effect on your life, your relationships and your feelings of self-worth.

This will ultimately get you that fresh start and take back control of your life again!

The manager of a large office noticed one of his department heads had hired a new man, so the boss called him into his office for a little orientation speech. “What is your name?” he asked. “John,” the new guy replied. The manager scowled, “Look, I don’t know what kind of place you worked at before, but I don’t call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last names only - Smith, Jones, Baker - that’s all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?” The new guy sighed and said, “Darling. John Darling.” “Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you is...”
