When it comes to self-improvement, most of us have a hard time with follow-through—and whether you stuck to your Keto diet or not, there are likely items on your financial to-do list that just never get crossed off. One of the easy actions to delay is creating a will. After all, no one wants to think about their own mortality and, unfortunately, a legal will is one of those things that becomes crucial only after you’re gone.
More than half of Canadian adults—57%—don’t have a will. And of those who do, many are out of date because life events like marriage, divorce or the arrival of children haven’t been factored in. If you pass away without a will (what the courts call “intestate”), it doesn’t mean the government can take your money—that’s a common myth. It does mean they get to decide how your assets will be distributed, and you may not have say over who takes care of your children.
So, just like every responsible adult needs life insurance, retirement savings and an exercise routine (thanks a lot, slowing metabolism), creating a will is a key “adulting” milestone…

Starting University in Fall 2019? Get an Early Start to Cut Costs
– ratesupermarket.ca
Pursuing higher education is exciting — but as any new student knows, it comes with a price tag. If you’re planning to start university in the fall of 2019 you’ve probably already done some number crunching. But your savings don’t have to be restricted to breaks on tuition through scholarships or bursaries. You can plan on how to reduce your living costs before you even set foot on campus.
Save on Textbooks
You may have heard you can save money if you avoid the campus bookstore. But the number of options to get your class materials may surprise you. As soon as book lists come out, start hunting for the best price. You can rent an online copy, buy a used text, or share with a classmate. Often, your professors are good sources of information about where to get the best money on books. They usually understand new book costs are prohibitive for some students.
Plan Your Future Travel
Your winter break may be months away, but you already know you are going home for the holidays…
