March Madness, Taxes, Friday the 13th and #BestOfThisWeek
March Madness is not the only thing that can happen in March, there is also Tax preparation, and hoping for snow to melt too!
Thanks for the $2000 CRA
There is a Child Tax Credit? Not any more for us, as our kids are grown up, and not for you either, because these all go away.
Financial Daylight Savings
How would financial daylight savings actually work? It is an obtuse idea, just like daylight savings time. The day isn’t any longer.
Illness, K-Cups, Interest Rates and #BestOfThisWeek
Back in 2015 interest rates fluctuated little and usually only went down, ah for those heady days? Many other good finance stories, as well.
Debt Limiting Idea
Big Cajun Man expresses concern over the high debt levels in Canada, which are fueled by cheap interest rates. He proposes a radical, but unlikely to be implemented, idea to slow the ‘tsunami of debt.’ The idea involves using erasable tattoos that say ‘Debtor’ on the back of a person’s hands in exchange for a 25% discount on loan interest rates. This tattoo would be a condition for receiving the loan and would be removed once the debt is repaid. The author acknowledges its potential to drive people towards alternate lenders.
