Financial tips I wish I knew early in life :-)

  • Know how credit card works
  • Open an TFSA(Tax-Free Savings Account)
  • Start to invest early
  • Don’t having your money all in chequing account



Waterfall approach:

Emergency fund:比如说三个月的生活费.

Employer matching:
Employer matching of your 401(k) contributions means that your employer contributes a certain amount to your retirement savings plan based on the amount of your annual contribution.

Compensation(赔偿) package:
Summaries of the methods employers use to pay their employees and the amounts they provide.

Wealthsimple tax calculater.

插入吐槽之:
聊到Financial goals的时候,大部分人都说买车买房,少数有travel的愿望,再再少数还有位说child education, tuition fee(further education), early retirement,最后是financial freedom.
感叹买车买房算人生共有的一个boss关卡.
