Summary
This is the personal finance book I wish someone had handed me when I first landed in Canada. It's short, funny, and written specifically for how money works here — RRSPs, TFSAs, the tax system. No jargon, no American assumptions. Just honest, practical advice that actually applies to your life.
Who it's for
Anyone who's just arrived in Canada and has no idea how the financial system works here. Start with this before you do anything else with your money.
Why we loved it
🍁 It's actually about Canada - not generic advice retrofitted for a Canadian audience.
🧠 Honest about why smart people still make bad money decisions. The psychology chapters hit harder than the strategy ones.
💡 You can read it in a weekend. Short chapters, zero filler. I read it on a flight and immediately texted three friends to read it too.
🏁 The best explanation of RRSPs and TFSAs I've found I've read a lot of explainers. None of them are as clear as this.
