Vacation Guide and the Million Dollar Burger

When was the last time you went on vacation and didn’t even think about work? If you’re like most people, it probably seems like forever ago.

Here’s an idea. Try turning off your mobile phone. Give one person at the office the phone number of the place you’ll be staying. Before you leave, offer to take that friendly co-worker out for a nice lunch or BBQ the week you get back — they get to pick the place if you don’t get a single call.

It’ll be one of the best lunches you’ll ever pay for.

Hey, there's still lots of summer left!  Make the most of it!  Try turning off that cell phone while at a BBQ with friends and family too.  At the end of the summer we can chat about how to be a financial role model for your child, until then, here's the recipe for my wife's "Million Dollar Burger".  It will be a huge success!

Mix:
2 lbs of Lean Ground Beef (or yummy lean Bison)
2 Eggs
1 Packet of Onion Soup Mix
1/2 Cup of Ketchup
1 Diced Onion
3/4 Cup of Crushed Boulton Vegetable Crackers
1/2 Cup of Grated Asiago Cheese

Makes 8-10 of the most delicious burgers you ever had.  That co-worker will love it, or you could sell them for a million bucks!!  We’ll help you invest and protect that $$$ if you do!

Enjoy the rest of summer,

6 Ways to Invest for Your Children's Success! (There's more than RESPs)

Congratulations!!!  Welcome to parenthood!   Everyone reacts differently to this phase of life.  We were shocked by how much unconditional love we had for our children when they entered the world – who else would you throw yourself in front of a bus for?  When Rowen, our first born arrived, we unwisely threw $10K into a scholarship RESP out of pure emotion.  5 years later that $10K is now $9373 due to fees and charges.  I’m writing this article so you don’t make the same mistakes we made, and to ensure you that there are several ways to save for your child’s success, even if post-secondary school is not in the cards.  If you are lucky enough to have $10k, there's a better way to invest than we did, but even $50 - $100/month can make a HUGE difference!! Option #1 – RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) – Growth Plan Pros:   Government matches 20%, 30% or 40% and investment can take advantage of compound growth. Catch : Grant...

Summer is here!!  Woot Woot!  What's your favorite summer activity? One of my all time favorite summer activities! Boating? Swimming? Fishing? Camping? Bonfires? BBQ's? Ensuring Financial Success? Wouldn't you agree that all your summer activities would be even more fun if you were financially independent?  Would your favorite activity be more enjoyable if you knew you were working towards your financial goals at the same time?  Imagine hanging out with friends and family while camping, at a BBQ, or catching that big fish and actually becoming wealthier, your net worth increasing instead of decreasing! True success is not only having wealth.  Focusing on wealth, health, AND relationships: the Trifecta will lead to true success .  Relationships and health generally increase during the summer months, unfortunately, wealth for most, decreases.   The reason for this decrease is not what you may think - it's not because of th...
