December 16, 2020 06:00 - 53 minutesYou know how I came up with the title for this episode? It was actually from a listener who shared with me that she never knew the power of personal finance (and financial literacy) before she discovered books, blogs and podcasts like mine.

254 Investing for Your Future After Becoming Debt-Free - Jully-Alma Taveras, Founder of Investing Latina
November 25, 2020 06:00 - 53 minutesWe’ve all seen the stats…if you started investing in your teens you’d end up significantly wealthier than if you wait until your 20s or 30s. But most of us have no idea where to start or even have the confidence to invest our first dollar before we’re fully ready. Well, as my next guest Jully-Alma Taveras (a.k.a. Investing Latina) shares in this episode, you’ll never be fully ready. And that’s ok! She started investing at 19 and now in her 20s, she’s much further ahead on her financial journe...

250 Budgeting for Your Best Life - Mykail James, Founder of BoujieBudgets.com
October 28, 2020 05:00 - 56 minutesMaybe talking about your spending shouldn’t make you feel bad? Maybe a hobby doesn’t have to become a side hustle?

October 14, 2020 05:00 - 39 minutesI almost never slide into anyone’s DMs, but if I do…it’s to beg them to be on my podcast. So when I saw some news articles online talk about Dan Price, CEO of Gravity Payments, and the effects of the $70,000 minimum wage increase he implemented 5 years ago (a story that went viral globally!), I thought this was my chance to just ask and see what happens. And it worked! Not only that, Dan has since written a book called Worth It all about his journey of becoming an entrepreneur, going from no ...

September 23, 2020 05:00 - 49 minutesWell, that was a much-needed break that I needed from the podcast…how about you? This year has been intense to say the least. And it’s still going. I ended Season 10 on what I thought was a hopeful note. Amongst all the chaos we’re experiencing, I do believe there is also a lot of light.

May 20, 2020 05:00 - 53 minutesMoney influences us all in different ways. Our childhoods and backgrounds specifically have a big impact on how we think, feel and manage money later in life. But ultimately, money is just a tool. It’s up to us to decide how to use it to write our own money story. And my guest Tara Falcone knows this all too well.

Is Right Now a Good Time to Invest? - Money Minute with Jessica Moorhouse
May 01, 2020 17:19 - 7 minutesIs right now a good time to invest? Yes! But also...so was a 6 months ago, a year ago, 10 years ago (you get the picture). Remember this famous Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese Proverb The same goes for investing!

237 Managing Your Money in Uncertain Times - Katie Dunsworth-Reiach, Author & Co-Founder of Smart Cookies
April 15, 2020 05:00 - 37 minutesLife is crazy sometimes. Back in 2009, when I was struggling to find a full-time job after university thanks to the Great Recession, I got an on-call job as a teleprompter operator for Global News thanks to my dad putting a good word in for me (he’d worked there for over 20 years). It was honestly a god send because it meant I could earn a little money, pay off my student loan and start saving to eventually move out of my parent’s basement. Anywho, while I worked there (and I ended up keeping...

April 08, 2020 05:00 - 36 minutesI can’t believe it’s been over 2 years since I’ve had Chris Guillebeau on the show to promote his book Side Hustle, and of course to share his expertise about side hustles.

March 18, 2020 05:00 - 48 minutesSo…it’s been a crazy few weeks (understatement of a lifetime)! I almost never do “timely” podcast episodes. I typically record all my episodes a few months or weeks in advance, so it’s hard to do an episode that is about what’s going on in the news and it still be fresh or on trend by the time it’s published. But, since what’s going right now with COVID-19 and the stock market is something I have never seen or experienced before, I knew I needed to have an episode to talk about it. That’s why...
What's Going on with the Stock Market (and How You Should React) - Money Minute with Jessica Moorhouse
March 13, 2020 05:00 - 7 minutesSo...what the heck is going on with the stock market right now? Because everyone is freaking out from all the headlines, Twitter hashtags and conversations around the water cooler. Here’s the thing, we are currently experiencing a market correction, not a crash. That being said, this market correction could lead us into a bear market, which means interest rates and stock prices may sit at a lower point than we’ve experienced for a while. That’s okay. It’s part of the natural market cycle. We’...

What Is RRSP Season? - Money Minute with Jessica Moorhouse
February 14, 2020 06:00 - 4 minutesWhat is RRSP season? And why is every bank, financial institution, robo-advisor and discount brokerage telling you "Quick, the deadline is looming!
