Zach asks an integral question for our financial plan. What happens if we get sick or hurt? What do our group benefits do? What can we do if we don't have group benefits? Listen in as we do a quick overview of some of the pitfalls of group benefit disability and how impactful an illness or injury can be to our financial health and plan. Many of us don't think about it or believe it will happen to us, but we see GoFundMe's every week. These issues derail our financial plans, making all the work and saving we did all for not.

Zach takes a look at the key benefits and structure of the soon-to-be First Home Savings Account rolling out in April, 2023. The Federal government has created this investment account to help those looking to get into the housing market achieve a downpayment. This new tool can even be leverage by people who may not intend to use the funds towards a down payment, by transferring the money over to their RRSP at the end of the 15-year limit.

Zach discusses what it means to "pay yourself". Let's change our mindset when it comes to money and how our cash normally flows. Challenge yourself to save a bit from every payday and see where it gets you. How much do you need in emergency funds?  How do we save for a down payment? Let's totally redeem ourselves and save THEN spend, not spend then save.
