The British tradition of the Christmas Cracker is something I plan on continuing. Today, we will celebrate the horrible puns found in the Crackers, with these Terrible Financial Crackers. Inside Christmas Crackers, there was a… Read More »Some Terrible Financial Crackers
There is actually 12 days of Christmas Debt, that you should be avoiding this year (and every year). Budget and don’t splurge, start the new year happy.
Christmas is finally here, and we can then unleash the orgy of spending known as Boxing Day/Week/Month! The sales will start on Christmas Eve, and will continue until there is no snow on the ground. Boxing Day sales used to be interesting, when I got money for Christmas, but now, they bore me. Luckily inflation is here as well!
When did giving a car for Christmas become a thing? One year we got a Vic-20 and I thought that was a huge extravagance. I was planning on giving everyone a Bitcoin, but that got a little out of hand a bit too quick.
Winter is here, to quote Game of Thrones. Days will start getting longer in the Norther Hemisphere but still look for the Debt White Walkers, Rising Dragon-fire Interest rates and the Foreclosure Wildlings, which are now loose.
The White Walkers Want Your Money

The past few weeks I have spoken with a few folks, and answered some email from people who are getting very discouraged about the DTC policy changes (apparently) at the CRA. With this in mind I wrote Apply for the DTC Please as a reminder that if you don’t apply you will never get the Disability Tax Credit.
Also, at the end of this post is something most of my readers have been waiting for, my top 3 Christmas Music Songs of all time. Yes, I do have a soft Christmassy side too.
CLICKBAIT ALERT: 2018: The year of a Bankruptcy caused by Bitcoin? Probably. (Could also be the year of the Real Estate caused bankruptcy, but that's not as click-baity).https://t.co/wK64NemrkJpic.twitter.com/kwtuNlHJMz
