I couldn’t believe my ears when my insurance agent first told me.

Are you in the market for a new car? Will you be buying a new vehicle this year?

We have great news for you. I looked around to find the top cars of the new year. I also have bad news. I don’t plan on buying a new car for a few years. So this article is about me getting excited for cars that I won’t be driving (unless I go for a test drive).

You love your yard. You want to create a welcome retreat from the world, an oasis where one can read a book or enjoy time with friends and family. The only problem is you’re short the big bucks needed to create the perfect landscape.

You worked hard, cut back, and saved up. You can finally afford to make a down payment on that home. You’re now living in your first home. You’re now on your own and responsible for your own decisions.

The issue of home insurance comes up. What do you do? What should you pay?

Are you a festival junkie? Do have a calendar countdown app on your phone with all your festival fun programmed in? The Calgary Stampede usually gets all the credit when people think about outdoor shows in Alberta, but there’s a lot more going on in our little town.

You’re in a unique place after college. For the first time in your life you’re actually in control of your schedule. You can do whatever you want. You can spend your money on whatever you want.

With that being said, I’ve seen too many friends get distracted and fall deeper into debt after college. I don’t want this to happen to you. I want you to be better off than the average person in their 20s.

Good morning. Don't you just love summer? The sunshine, the fresh air, the taste of home grown veggies and the smell of fresh cut flowers. I do. I live in the middle of downtown Montreal and I don't even have a balcony, let alone a garden, but that's never stopped me from trying to grow my own flowers and vegetables. The one thing I always miss about my childhood home (other than my mother's chocolate chip pancakes) is having a garden.

Is your home protected? Do you have home insurance?

If you’re a new homeowner then you’re likely wondering as to why you even need insurance. You’re trying to cut back on the expenses and you’re debating insurance. I get that.

Well, insurance is one of those things that you don’t think you need...until you need it. Things happen and life throws us curveballs when we least expect it.

Backpacking is more than just a rite of passage for twenty-somethings between high school and college, it's a growing trend with people from all walks of life. Get it? Walks of life. You walk when you backpack. Haaaaa. Yeah.
