Hi Gail!
Love all your money lessons and shows. Do you have any suggestions as to how to improve a credit score for young new-comers to Canada? They have student loans and making monthly payments but are always denied credit cards etc as they have only been in Canada a few years.
How can you start a positive credit score/report when you are new to a country?
Thanks!

I don't understand how you calculate the amount of savings? If I make $1600/month with 15 year left to work. how much do I have to put away per month to reach $500,000 in 15 years?
What would I put my money in? I lost a bundle in the stock crash a few years back and now only put into GICs.
On your shows you talk about having a million when they are ready to retire. I would like to know how you are calculating that.
Thanks for your help.

When I was planning to move out of my parents house and start renting my first place, I used your budget sheet to make sure I could afford everything, even when my boyfriend would go away for school and I would have to pay all of the bills on my own. Thank you for making it easy to say "yes I can afford it" and be right

Just wanted to say thank you. I had a couple of student loans that were haunting me for years. When I finally decided to make an effort to pay them off I didn't know where to start. I was being hounded by collection agencies and starting to feel the pressure. I started watch Princess and Till Dept Do Us Part, and was able to come up with a plan. Not only was I able to pay off both loans in less then three years, but I found money that I dinn't realize I had. No more living from pay cheque to pay cheque for this girl. I even have money going into a savings. I still have a lot to learn, and have started setting little goals for myself, to keep me motivated, and on track.

Not a comment, but question please.
A little embarressed to ask, but...
How do I figure out a average on my Hydro bills? Or
any other expenses.
Is there a formula on how to do this?

While we all love Gail and her approach, when signing the guestbook, it makes good sense NOT to put in your email address, home address or phone number...The only thing you really have to enter is your name. Keep yourselves safe!!

I was in Uxbridge Ontario with my wife and her schoolfriend and dropped in at a Book store and found your book: Money Rules. I bought it and will go over it many times in the future. Great book!!

Hi Gail,
I love you no nonsense advice regarding fiances. I am not a good money manager and I have tried a variety of methods. One thing that I have come to use readily is my phone and apps. Is there an app for my iphone that works like the jars or at least a spreadsheet system that keeps track of spending. Any suggestions.
