Here’s a recap of our 2014 financial goals:
Continue putting $300 lump sum payments on our mortgage every month ($3,600).
Maximize both Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) ($11,000).
Increase Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contributions by $200 per month ($2,400).

– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – Express Scripts says its first-quarter earnings fell 12 per cent, as the nation’s largest pharmacy benefits manager posted lower revenue.
The company scaled back its 2014 earnings-per-share guidance to between $4.82 and $4.94 based on delays in several customer implementation plans, among other reasons.
The St. Louis company earned $328 million, or 42 cents per share, in the three months that ended March 31. That was down from $373 million, or 45 cents per share, in last year’s quarter. Adjusted profit was 99 cents per share. Revenue fell 8.8 per cent to $23.69 billion.
Analysts forecast, earnings of $1.01 per share on revenue of $23.83 billion.
