In years past, all the bloggers were big on sharing links. Links to interesting articles, links to other blog, links to anything interesting. Curated lists of links were a common, often weekly post. That seems to have died down through the years, but I think it’s something we should revive.
So, without further ado, here’s a starting list of interesting and useful Canadian personal finance websites.
Blogs
- Million Dollar Journey – one of the bigger old school bloggers, a Canadian documents his progress to save a million dollars. He’s far exceeded that goal now, but still an interesting read.
- My Own Advisor – Mark Seed, an Ottawaian (I guess that’s not a real word) who talks about investing using a dividend strategy.
Forums/Discussion
- Reddit’s Personal Finance Canada sub – Very active, lots of stuff going on. Can be toxic at times, and you can absolutely receive bad advice here (people will post incorrect stuff as if it were a fact). Still, an interesting read to see the news and what’s going on.
- Financial Wisdom Forum – also can be a bit toxic at times, and take everything with a grain of salt.
Financial Professionals
- Canadian Couch Potato – Dan Bortolotti is a former Globe and Mail journalist turned high net worth financial advisor. On his blog he discussed investing for the rest of us.
- Money Coaches Canada – Canadian money coaches, flat fee not for investing, but to help you get your budgeting, finances, and savings under control.
- The Term Guy – Canadian life insurance broker focused on term life insurance. Their website includes online life insurance quotes from about a dozen Canadian life insurance companies.
I’ll add more links as they come to me.
