Money Moves: Conversations about Investing

There’s no way around it: kids can be expensive. So, how can you prepare for the cost of having them? How do you budget the needs versus wants? And how do you impart financial knowledge to them as they grow up? In this episode, Melissa speaks with Bridget Casey, founder of the millennial personal finance site Money After Graduation. They share their personal and professional money tips. It’s never too early (or too late) for important financial lessons.

If you asked the Money Moves team a year ago, this isn’t the life we expected we’d be living. All of life’s unexpected turns have the possibility of financial ramifications. Are you ready for that? In this episode, Melissa gets personal about how her savings fund helped their family in unexpected ways over the last six years. Plus, we hear from Niranjan Vivekanandan, the vice president of term investments and savings at RBC, who delves into everything you need to know about saving and preparing for the unexpected.

This episode is all about what you need to know as a first-time homebuyer. Melissa reflects on buying her first home and speaks to a recent first-time buyer out in Nova Scotia to find out how she made it happen. Then, we hear from Odeen Ecclestone, a Toronto-based real estate agent to get some insights from one of Canada’s hottest housing markets. Plus, Melissa speaks to RBC’s Ian Kwan about what you should do if you’re thinking about buying.
