@codydberman Procrastination... I'm fine with my current job. I should probably start a budget. I'll set up an investing account eventually. Retirement is decades away.

I began my career with @sobeys in 2000. As part of my first role, I put together this newspaper ad. The "for over 20 years" also served as a prediction for how long that kid on the right would stay with the company.

Now that I've moved on, I'm looking forward to putting more effort into my passion for helping people with their personal finances at @MapleMoneycom, @RetireHappyBlog, and @getrichslowly.

On Friday, @cafreeland announced details on the Liberal's #AffordabilityPlan and @CTVNews had me on right after to give my thoughts. https://t.co/46nAyFQucs

@nichepursuits I love Link Whisper, a lifetime sub would be awesome!

[Tom Drake @TomDrakeCanada]

@RoadmapMoney Of course! It would be great to pick his brain, and worst case, you got a beer!

Watching game 4 of the Battle of Alberta with the boys. Created a blue and orange smart light scene in the movie room to rep our @EdmontonOilers!

You're coming everywhere, @tomsegura? FALSE. Why no Calgary? I thought Norman would be enough reason to come! I'm disappointed in you.

When you get snow overnight and have a Baby Yoda pinata carcass lying around from yesterday's birthday party... Baby Snowda!

@studenomics Are you in Alberta? You're not allowed to come here without meeting up with me.

Thanks, @NYTimesWordplay, for destroying Wordle on your first day. They've claimed to have fixed the streak and distribution not showing up since moving it to their site last night, but it sounds like certain browsers and devices still have issues, including mine.

@ScottKwas @MixedUpMoney The restaurant used to be a swingers club and they kept the phones installed and working. No hookups, but you can still dial a table for a random chat!

[Tom Drake @TomDrakeCanada]

@Jazzy_gurl21 @MixedUpMoney So, @GrizzlyHouse has an interesting past as a swingers club. The phones were so you can call another table to hook up! The restaurant kept the phones installed and working. So what happens now is, after a few drinks, you find it fun to call other tables and chat with strangers.

[Tom Drake @TomDrakeCanada]

@Tawcan @MixedUpMoney Oh, I have your name tattooed on me too, but it's only visible when I'm in my speedo.

[Tom Drake @TomDrakeCanada]

@wander_wealth @MixedUpMoney Haha, good question! It was an amazing meal of alligator, ostrich, kangaroo, and more, at @GrizzlyHouse in #Banff. https://t.co/rhFbiTmqZU
