– moneysense.ca
Earn 1% on your purchases is a typical line in many credit card ads. It sounds simple, right? We can assure you it’s not. The vast majority of credit cards are notoriously complex in their construction. Some cards have reward tiers, meaning you won’t earn that 1% until you’ve spent a certain amount, while others cap how many points you can earn.

It’s amazing how fast plants grow in just a few months. If only stocks grew as quickly.
Dividend investors are particularly fond of companies that grow their dividends. If you talk to old hands, you’ll probably hear about stocks they bought years ago that now pay giant dividends. But you can’t blame them. After all, there’s something special about owing a stock that pays more in dividends than it cost in the first place.
While dividend growth is vitally important to returns over the long term, it’s also a positive indicator in the short term. That’s because companies have a tendency to boost their dividends when their prospects are good. They hold off on increases when the outlook is poor.
