Money According to ____: An Introduction

-

Today I had to hit “refresh” on my blog. I am trying to spin it as a plus as I wanted to take things in a slightly different angle anyway. For those of you who may, on the off chance, be looking for one of the older posts, I am sorry!

I want to say “for as long as I can remember…” but that is not true. So, instead, I will say…. For a while now, I have jokingly had life segments (I cannot think of a better way to describe this) with friends and family that I call things like “Science according to Tara” or “Business according to Tara” (aka the Business Spanish course I taught at U of T). There were also segments such as “Dating according to Grandad,” which was a huge crowd pleaser, and “the Adventures of Mystery Chicken Night,” which often resulted in my taste buds and stomach taking a hit – but I digress!

Because of these interesting and amusing little episodes here and there, I thought it might be a good idea to redo the blog in a similar style. In a sense, it will be purposefully random. I hope to share interpretation of real-life financial planning matters but through different perspectives and contexts. (If you would like, you can even write in to share YOUR thoughts on financial planning!) I think this will show how so many experiences in our daily lives have a way of impacting our thoughts, behaviours and feelings around money – and life in general. I also hope that maybe, just maybe, it will help you sit back and reflect on how you are tackling your own approach to financial planning.

What do you think? Are you excited for this change? Do you have anything to share?

Hi, again! Long time no post. I figured I’d also add some extra thoughts here without torturing you with another video of Link (if you haven’t seen that – go check out my Instagram or my facebook page !) and I just yet. Also, this is more of a “work in progress” thing, so probably better to keep off camera before I start dropping swear words as fillers. Another super important and super current thing to contemplate in terms of the whole kids and money dynamic has been floating around my brain lately. I just honestly can’t come up with a firm “this is the best answer” solution to this. Probably because it really varies so much from case to case.   We’ve talked a bit about pandemic cash flow, we’ve talked about kids. But, have we talked about kids and pandemic cash flow? Nope! Until now that is…. and this is the reason I really don’t have a full theory on how to approach it because we haven’t exactly lived through many pandemics. So, one question I’ve heard a few times is “

Okay, guys… I’ve been meaning to make more blog posts since the New Year and, honestly, life just kept getting in the way. And now, life is REALLY in the way for a lot of us in the most difficult possible sense as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. So, I figured I needed to just put some time aside and write the sh*t that needs to be said. So, without further ado…. “Money According to Covid-19.” I will likely break this down into a few segments/posts over the next little while because, as much as it is a major health crisis, it is also having some pretty big financial impacts as well. So, first things first… let’s tackle cash flow! Yes, you heard me right. I know some of you may be thinking “wait – what? Cash flow? Where does she think this magical stuff is flowing from when the world is essentially shut down…” but hear me out. This is actually why cash flow is super important and part 1 of this “Money According to Covid-19” series. Whenever you are trying to figure out your
