#1 Income


It is important to have a clear understanding of the various deductions on your paychecks, which encompass taxes and items like CPP, EI, as well as health and dental plans. These deductions gradually diminish net income and can have an impact on retirement savings, debt repayment, and other financial objectives. It is crucial to grasp the intricacies of pay stubs and take-home pay in order to make well-informed financial choices.

 

#2 Saving


Due to inflation, saving money has become increasingly challenging, as the cost of everything has risen. This video presents strategies and advice aimed at addressing this situation. Saving money is crucial, regardless of your age, as everyone will eventually need to retire. By adhering to the suggestions in the video below, it is possible to transform your mindset and behaviors related to saving money, ultimately making it easier to achieve long-term financial objectives.

 

#3 Spending

#4 Investing


The next video in our series delves into the fundamentals of investing, various investment types, and the accounts accessible to Canadian investors. The discussion covers stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs, shedding light on potential risks, and rewards. We explore different account options available to investors, including non-registered accounts, TFSA, RRSP, and RESP accounts.

Investor education is very important due to the multitude of options available, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages so be sure to conduct thorough research and seek guidance from a financial advisor prior to making any investment decisions.

 

#5 Protection


Personal insurance serves as a vital financial tool, safeguarding loved ones in the event of an unexpected death or your income due to illness or injury. Three types of insurance merit consideration: life insurance, critical illness insurance, and disability insurance. Life insurance grants a beneficiary a specified sum upon the policyholder's passing. Watch the video for more valuable information on protecting your wealth and loved ones with insurance.
