Welcome to my first Weekend Reading edition in June friends…summer is here…almost…not quite technically…but close enough for me. I hope you had a good week and here’s to an ever better weekend. Earlier this week I provided a few great ways to save on home and car insurance and Rob Carrick from the Globe and Mail was nice enough to mention my article about living off dividends.
Any big plans for the weekend?
We have “the usual” going on I guess. Some yardwork, some errands, some socializing planned and a bit of downtime. Hope you take full advantage of your weekend and see you here again next week when I will (this time) have my latest dividend income update ready.
Cheers!

Have a great weekend CBB 🙂
Great article by Money We Have. He proves that investing doesn’t have to be complicated. Tangerine and TD e-Series are two easy ways to invest.
Very true Sean, investing can be simple but is not always easy.
I’m telling you, you guys are missing out! Devalued, yes. Still worth it, yes!
Anyway, Aeroplan is a very polarizing subject these days. I’m glad people are quitting the program actually because it means less competition for reward tickets and is more likely to catch Amia’s attention and cause them to rework the program for the better.
Thanks for the link up!
LOL.
I still collect them Stephen, just not aggressively. All the best man and stay in touch this summer.

Yes, cutting wood and piliing it to dry so we have heat in the house for 2 winters hence.
Parallels can be drawn between this and both insurance and saving/investing for retirement :).
Ha. Good planning on your part Glenn. Thanks for the blog support as always and guidance.

I’m doing some golfing this weekend. Thanks for the mention.
Enjoy! 🙂
Thanks for the mention!
I don’t think I’ll ever be anything else than an index investor.
You never know Barry!
Both Air Mile and Aeroplan miles have been greatly devalued over the years. I’d rather collect travel rewards or cash rewards via credit cards now.
Have a good weekend Mark.
Same. My “miles” card is cash back. All the best!
Thanks for the inclusion, many folks should celebrate with a good cellular deal!
