It’s 5:12AM and since there is no one to vent to, I will vent to my blog. I just went upstairs to grab my cell phone when I noticed, through the window, that the interior light of my car was on. I looked closer and my trunk was open. At first I thought I had [...]

With the many expenses of our trip this summer, Rita and I are trying our best to spend our money wisely. When it comes to food, this expense can make or break the bank. You can either spend hundreds of dollars on fast-food and restaurants, or you can budget your money at the grocery store [...]

I received my cell phone bill from Rogers today and I was charged an extra $24 for using 80 extra minutes over my weekday limit! Considering I already pay ~$45/mo. for my plan and all of the company’s stupid fees I was pretty upset. Without hesitation I called Rogers and was connected with a billing [...]

Well, it’s over. I wrote my last exam of my undergrad today and I am officially in self-creation mode. Other than holding down a part-time job, I am pretty much a free man. So, here I am asking myself “now what?” It has come to that point where my future is pretty much an open [...]

Just a few moments ago I signed up for a high-interest savings account with Citizens Bank. With an interest rate of 3.5%, their Ultimate Savings Account offers the average person a great way to set money aside when they don’t have enough to invest in something larger like a mutual fund but want to have [...]

A friend of mine pointed me to this video and I thought it was too good to pass along. Have a look, it really makes you think.
My thoughts: we are so obsessed with “progress” and the improvement of technology, but does the quality of life necessarily increase with these changes? Is there a point where [...]

Do you ever feel like you just need to get a grip on your life? Are you frustrated because you have too much debt, too little time, and just aren’t realizing the dreams that you want to realize? Join the club.
It seems like the majority of people I talk to have something that they want [...]

It’s not the typical Friday night of a 21 year old; tonight I am sitting at the dining room table writing an essay about the media’s influence on Canadian foreign policy while sipping a glass of wine. Who needs dinner and a movie when you’ve got this wonderful combination? Desperate times call for desperate measures [...]

Here is a short book review I wrote for my program’s newsletter at school…
The Alchemist: One for Every SJP Student’s Bookshelf
“To realize one’s destiny is a person’s only obligation.”
–from The Alchemist
Have you ever asked yourself, “What the heck am I going to do with my life”? With my fourth year of university coming to an [...]

Sure this is a generalization, but research shows that, overall, Americans don’t really know that much about the world. 77% of people with some college education can’t point out Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, or Israel on a map. Nearly half of 18- to 24-year-olds don’t think it is necessary or important to know where countries [...]

Have you ever asked yourself this question? Do you ask it on a monthly/weekly/daily(!) basis? Well, I have begun to ask myself this very question and decided that I better get in-check with my finances. Since I wrote my post called 6 Reasons to Track Your Finances, well, I haven’t tracked my finances. Why? 2 [...]

I know, I know, I’m 26 days late but I have finally gotten the pictures from our New Years trip to Algonquin Park into the gallery (click images to make them larger).
In case you didn’t read my first post about this, Rita and I decided to do something a little different for New Years this [...]
