Ugh, this is in my neighbourhood! I heard it's supposed to get up to 1.75/L this weekend. Like this ridiculous heat wave isn't enough... #ThursdayThoughts

Children as young as 3 can learn about the concept of money and how to identify coins and bills, while school-age kids can learn the difference between needs and wants, and how to budget for something special. More tips by age group: https://t.co/hMQwvQCWpA

[Catherine Lopez @CCS_Catherine]

@MelanieLockert I think something similar could be said on other people's opinions on how you spend your money is irrelevant. We've all got our own money history and we are all dealing with it in our own way.

@mint Costco!! Ugh, my weak link.

@moneyaftergrad Personally...it was great even though my family (with my 2 toddlers) got COVID 😓We spent less on the frivolous stuff. But I can see where some people really had it tough or is still having it tough during this pandemic ❤️

[Catherine Lopez @CCS_Catherine]

RT @mymoneycoach_ca : Hubby & I have 11 bank accounts - 2 Chequing & 9 Savings, I love organizing my bank accounts like file folders for my money. I'm left with what I'm allowed to spend in my chequing and everything is tucked away. #wednesdaythought #money #SavingsTips

[mymoneycoach.ca @mymoneycoach_ca]

Getting #organized puts us in the driver's seat when it comes to our #money. This can keep us from facing some #financial challenges. Check out the link below for more details.

@jessi_moorhouse @nationalpost It also doesn't sound fun if it means potentially pushing retirement until I'm 90 😅

[Catherine Lopez @CCS_Catherine]

RT @nationalpost : Um, is it weird that all I can think about when I see the headlines of this article is how much MORE $$ we need to retire if we were to live to 150?!

[National Post @nationalpost]

Could a human possibly live to be 150-years-old? https://t.co/qCnehLGJ0E
