Canadian Personal Finance Blog

Yes, I have taken an extra day for the long weekend to make it an extra long weekend, which is just fine by me. Luckily I got lots done as well? Is that really a vacation day? Guess not.

Christmas is Next

It used to be when I worked in downtown Ottawa I knew Christmas was coming because the men’s apparel section in Eatons disappeared and the Toy section expanded into that space. Now that I don’t work downtown I don’t have as obvious a sign, but I await the first “holiday” flyer with great anticipation. What will be this year’s BIG SPLURGE item? How about your Mortgage, or Credit Card Debt? Yes, just call me Uncle Scrooge McDuck!

Last Quarter of the Year

How go your financial plans for the year? This is the closing quarter so keep up the good work, or see if you can save a few that you thought were lost (goals I mean). Maybe start your plan for 2008 now, or at least plan it now.

Back to work for me tomorrow, and maybe a more in depth posting, but for now, I am enjoying my last few hours of vacation!

Remember it is important for the workers to control the means of production on this day to celebrate the working proletariat! There is your Marxist rant for the year, enjoy it folks.

I am that lazy this weekend, that I go with a hack-kneed (sp?) expression like that as my posting on a Monday. Hey, I have been writing a lot lately, so enjoy the time to go and check out some of my older writings.

Happy Labor Day

Mmmm… Turkey, a butterball I’d like to point out. For my Canadian readers, I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. For anyone in the states, don’t’ worry, I celebrate your Thanksgiving as well (any excuse to eat turkey and watch football is ok by me).

We had our turkey yesterday, but today is a good day to remember what we are Thankful for in this life. We are all blessed with many wonderful things. Remember to click my Feed The Hungry button too. One way to show your thanks is to give to others. Enjoy the day –C8j
