The best bank account should manage itself
– moneysense.ca
Between long hours at work and day-to-day responsibilities at home, finding time to take a break, catch up with friends or even squeeze in a workout requires serious time management skills. So it’s easy to shrug it off if you’re a couple of weeks late on that last Internet bill or get accustomed to swallowing the occasional overdraft fee when the rent cheque is cashed. And while an individual penalty charge doesn’t seem like a big deal, those small costs can add up in surprising ways—and they might actually be standing between you and your financial goals. Since hiring a personal assistant to keep you organized isn’t realistic for most Canadians, it’s good to know that simply choosing the best bank account for you can both help you stay on track so you aren’t losing your hard-earned money to unnecessary penalties and interest payments, as well as help you make the most of the money you keep.

Canada’s Best Credit Cards for People with Bad Credit 2020
– moneysense.ca
Conventional wisdom may lead you to believe that if you have bad credit, you should swear off credit cards. But if you want to improve your credit score you’ll have to show you can handle credit responsibly—and the only way to do that is (you guessed it) to have a credit card. Used properly, it can actually be a helpful tool to assist in rebuilding bad credit—and, luckily, there is a whole host of products catered to people with poor credit scores. While these often come with higher interest rates and lower spending limits, they can be a good starting point to re-establishing a good credit score, which in turn will help you get approved for loans, a line of credit, or even a mortgage down the line.Best credit cards for bad credit in Canada
