Saving in your 20’s
I was inspired to write this post after reading about this so-called “50/20/30” rule that the Internet is trying to teach 20-somethings. I am here to help you Get Real. Some of you may know, I am currently taking my Canadian Securities Course, which is an in depth study of investing, retirement planning, taxation on … Continue reading
Being Present
What is important to you? What makes you happy? What brings you the most joy? My challenge to you this week is to stop planning. Stop worrying. Stop stressing.

Or big? There’s something great about both. The sun setting means another day has passed. Memories … Continue reading
The “Yeah-but”.

My Day-to-Day Itinerary of Backpacking SouthEast Asia.
Since arriving back from my travels, I have gotten a weekly email (at least) from someone asking me more information about how I do it, where I went, prices of things, etc. While I was in Southeast Asia, I wrote a journal every day. I wrote about my experiences, but most importantly I noted which … Continue reading
2014; JUST DO IT
