Like many other people, as I’ve grown older, my income has increased. Think of it as climbing the corporate ladder. Making more money is great, but I still embrace a frugal lifestyle. It’s not like I’m the cheapest person out there, I just like being smart with my money. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t [...]

The American Express Business Gold card is one of the best travel credit cards in Canada, but often gets overlooked because it’s a business card. What most people don’t realize is that you don’t have to have a business to apply. Sure, it’ll ask you for your business information, but you can put in anything [...]
