Cashflow Explained

What is Cashflow? Basically Money In, Money Out

How much you earn determines how much you spend.

How do we determine where the money goes? We have obligations, needs & wants.Do you know how much you need to meet these expenses?

What about Debt? What type of debt do you have? How much debt do you have? Is it good debt? (borrow to invest and earn an income) Or is it bad debt? (borrow to consume or to spend on stuff that depreciates in value or wears out) Who is helping you best manage your debt? (Who do you go to for advice on the proper use of debt?

Why do you spend the way you do? What is the motivator? Are you an impulse spender? Do you have a budget? Or do you have a spending plan?

Do you know the difference between Working Cash Flow and Active Cash Flow?

Who do you go to for help to regain control over your cashflow? I would like to suggest that it’s not the current institutions who are currently in control of it. Who would that be? Canada Revenue Agency, Banks, Insurance Companies, Wayfair, Amazon, Credit Card Companies, Walmart, Best Buy, EBay?

You can earn more money. You can spend less money. You can keep more of what you earn. You can save your money.

Every dollar you spend should be a conscious decision. Credit cards and debit cards make this hard to achieve. Listen up. You will learn something today that you may not have heard before.

Devaluing the Dollar

What can we do to protect ourselves from the continual devaluing of the Canadian dollar? The past year of the government aid to the Canadian people has brought a HUGE devaluation of the dollar as compared to other years. What does this mean for us? What does it mean for our grandchildren? How can we, as everyday citizens, mitigate our risk against what is happening and the decisions being made by our government? This episode goes over some of the options we have, some of the actions we can take, and what to work towards in the future.

Crypto! How is it good or bad?

What do we say about cryptocurrencies? Well, there is a lot out there about it and a lot of people who will sing it's praises to the rooftops. For the most part, we are talking in this episode about the technology relating to currencies (and not about it's other uses). What are the pros and cons? How is it different than the standard currency of a country? And how can we position ourselves to maintain control of our wealth in the years to come (regardless of how the adoption of crypto currencies ends up). Take a listen!

Debt Unification - One of the Best First Steps

One of the best first steps in getting your finances under control and moving towards being financially independent is the idea of Debt Unification.  Many other people call this same term "Debt Consolidation", but we prefer the term Debt Unification. In this episode we discuss what that entails and why you'd want to do it. We also discuss the pitfalls of debt unification in terms of what might go through a persons psychology when they suddenly have empty credit cards and lines of credit.
