Are you working on a plan to become debt-free but are paying a lot of interest on purchases made on your existing high interest card? A balance-transfer credit card, which allows you to move the balance from your current cards over to a new card with a lower interest rate (some as low as 0%) can be a good strategy. Just keep in mind that these great balance transfer offers are time limited and when that period ends—often after only six months—the rates go back up.

A guide to the best robo-advisors in Canada for 2021
– moneysense.ca
The robos have invaded. What was once a little-known investing tool for tech-savvy investors is now so commonplace, everyone from newbie savers to retired boomers using robo advisors to help manage their money.
While advisors and traditional fund companies still manage the majority of money in Canada, with people paying more attention to fees and with interest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) increasing, robo advisors will only see their assets under management continue to rise. According to the research aggregator Statista, Canadian robos will hold an estimated US$8.1 billion in assets under management in 2020, which, it predicts, will rise to US$16.6 billion by 2023, for a 26.7% compound annual growth rate.
As time goes on, these companies are also getting more sophisticated in their offerings. Some robos now offer chequing accounts, others let you pick stocks or buy insurance or offer real-life financial advice. You can invest in all kinds of accounts too, including tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs), registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs), registered retirement income fund (RRIFs), registered education savings plans (RESPs) and others…
