JUNK RAFT
By Marcus Eriksen
Sixty-four days into their voyage from California to Hawaii on a raft made from plastic bottles, Marcus Eriksen and his friend Joel Paschal were in the middle of nowhere, running low on food.

They tried—but what they caught was “more and more plastic.”

How should I invest a $60,000 inheritance?

Q I will be coming into $60,000 in the next month or so. I will use about $10,000 to pay down my line of credit (LOC) and credit card. I already have a TFSA account with lots of room to add more money. I also have a small investment account with my bank, which has earned $44 on the $600 I put into the account five years ago. I am not very versed on financial matters so, where would be the best place to put the extra money? TFSA? GICs? A bond fund? I am six years away from retiring, but I plan to work well past age 65. I have no RRSPs and want to be able to have access to this money so I can draw on it intermittently if I need it. Your guidance would be appreciated.
