Best of the Best: Father’s Day Edition

The weather is gorgeous today, and it is expected to be just as great over the weekend. Just in time for Father’s day! Personally, this weather is ideal for a nice BBQ! Anyone up for a little BBQ this weekend?

Best Around the World

The Financial Highway published a great article asking whether “Saving that Money worth the effort?“. I loved this article because it laid out all the facts, and really makes you think whether it is or not. Personally, I do find it is worth the effort once there is a goal in mind .

My Own Advisor published a great article titled “My Plan for a Prolonged Low Interest Rate Environment“. There is a 4 step plan that is in the article that definitely seems like a solid plan for anyone to follow.

Rewards Cards Canada published a great article explaining Mobile Banking and a Cashless Future. As you all know I love this topic and the facts given are great. I also like that there is a small infographic included in the post as well.

At Money Smarts, Mike wrote an article titled “Home Buyers – Is 20% Down Payment Always Better?“. For anyone considering purchasing a home, this article gives great information that everyone should know. Definitely something that every potential homeowner should read!
