Let’s face it. The world is set up for couples. From Noah’s Ark to Bumble, it’s all about pairing up. Sure, there are benefits to staying single, like sleeping on whatever side of the bed you fancy, but added financial security isn’t one of them. For singletons, few things are as annoying as “smug marrieds.” Not only do these couples flaunt their cozy togetherness, but they get access to financial perks only available to twosomes.

Saving for your future (including retirement or any large purchases) is an important financial goal which requires discipline and includes tax strategies. Two of the most popular ways to save for retirement in Canada are the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Popularity among Canadians for RRSP is higher given that it is a great way to reduce taxable income and save for retirement, while TFSAs often take a back seat. While each has their advantages and limitations, both can be used to maximize savings and compound tax benefits

Ellen Roseman speaks with Michael Bartz, host of the In Over My Head podcast, about his tiny house and lowering his environmental footprint as well as living simply and frugally.

Ellen Roseman chats with Shaun Maslyk, CFP and host of the podcast "The Most Hated F-Word" about our money-stories and how they affect our relationship with money. He mentions Dr. Brad Klontz and the four money-scripts or subconscious beliefs that we develop as young children about money. 

Air travel during a global pandemic is akin to gambling. With airport congestion and labour shortages, there's a good chance that your flight will not take off on time.

Suppose you find yourself facing a significant delay in your flight or cancellation. Will the airline make sure you have another travel arrangement? If that's not possible, will you get your money back in the form of the original payment? Or will you have to settle for a time-limited credit for future flights? Finally, will you be compensated for your out-of-pocket expenses?

You have more rights under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), which took effect on December 15, 2019. The Regulations require airlines to give refunds and pay compensation if your flight is hit by disruptions that are within the airline's control.

In this episode of the MoneySaver Podcast, Ellen Roseman speaks to financial educator Kelley Keehn about her new book "Rich Girl, Broke Girl".  They discuss past mistakes, women and wealth and the issues that surround women and money.
