Flex your money muscles
– moneysense.ca
Last year, we started with a simple question—can a one-year makeover solve your money problems and put you on the road to financial success. MoneySense has always believed that it absolutely can—provided you have committed to some planning and prioritization. And that’s how the #MoneyFit club was born.
We invited our readers in January to take an active role by writing to us and explaining in a few sentences why they needed a personalized money makeover with a MoneySense Approved Financial Advisor. We got close to 400 letters and, in the end, chose two couples and a single person with financial concerns that anyone can relate to. We paired them up with top certified financial planners Jason Heath, Rona Birenbaum and Heather Franklin to guide them through their money issues monthly. (Get the #MoneyFit newsletter for your own weekly guidance.)
One thing is certain. All have learned a few money lessons along the way. Here are our #MoneyFit readers’ final stories.
