When I started this blog, I never intended to talk much about investing, but it’s become a topic that’s become quite popular with my readers.

**This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kijiji Canada. All opinions are my own. Baby Scarlett is 3 months old now and it’s been one heck of a ride. We’ve been fortunate in the sense that she hasn’t been too fussy of a baby, but as any new parent will tell [...]

She claims she's not an expert on personal finance — which is why it's easy for her to explain financial topics without getting too intense.
