I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I’m not that great with math. Crazy to think since I have an undergraduate business degree, an MBA and I worked for one of the top accounting companies. Yet, here I am! It’s not that I don’t enjoy it, but there are some concepts that aren’t as easy for me to grasp. \u00a0However, my husband, who also has the same credentials as I do, is a math “nerd” (in the best way possible). \u00a0He can calculate the most obscure equations in his head within seconds. \u00a0So when it comes to managing our household finances, I leave it all up to him. \u00a0Sure, he’s asked me to join him when we meet with our financial adviser, but I’m not really involved. \u00a0I choose to focus my time and efforts into the 100 other things that I have going on in my life instead.<\/p>\n

While that’s not ideal, and household finances should be a joint venture, that’s our reality. Unless of course you consider the fact that I spend our money and my husband saves our money as a way we balance out our contributions to the house. Kidding aside, I am the one in the relationship that selects our banking institutions and credit cards. \u00a0However, those decisions weren’t based on an exact science. In fact, I selected both based on word of mouth. While that is typically a great way to make some purchasing decisions, it’s not necessarily the best way to base one’s financial decisions. That’s where services such as financial planning<\/a> come in and you’ll soon see why it’s a game-changer for your finances.<\/p>\n The question is, where to find a reliable, non-biased analysis? Recently, RateSupermarket.ca<\/a> published their 2015 Best of Finance Awards<\/a><\/strong> which ranks the hardest-working credit cards and banking products in Canada. Now you (and I) can become savvier when it comes to managing our personal finances. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
