Happy Friday!

Wow. That week went quick. I spent most of it on the road which was a real shame because we have snow here in Ontario. Yes, snow within a week of Halloween.

I don’t know about you but I’ll be enjoying a little extra R&R this weekend. Psych! I’ll be spending the whole weekend working on the course. I am seeing some light at the end of the tunnel so expect some exciting updates soon.

In the meantime, here are three personal finance stories to enjoy this weekend
