Resources

A collection of blogs, books and resources that I've found useful and happily recommend.

Million Dollar Journey: This blog for me was the OG of personal finance in Canada. I'm been a fan for over 9 years and learnt so much from watching this "ordinary" person navigate the Canadian system to a million dollars networth. Bonus points that he's an engineer like moi.
Tawcan: Another Canadian personal finance blog that I've followed for the last couple of years. I like the lifestyle view especially as the author is also a visible minority with parallel cultural values and experiences.
My Own Advisor: A great blog to raise some challenging and insightful financial plans
GenY Money: I started following this blog thinking I was a gen Y baby, alas I had my alphabets mixed up. Gen X kid here aka amorphous! I still love the female angle to personal finance and really relate to a lot of the content especially the dividend updates.
A big shout-out to this monster list of women in the financial independence movement.

Ratehub: For a quick overview of interest rates across financial institutions in Canada
Get Smarter About Money: An unbiased advisory website by the Ontario Securities Commission
Websites of the big banks and insurers contain a wealth (haha that's a pun) of information
Taxtips and Turbo Tax for answers to some of the more basic tax questions

Your Money or your life. Change how you look at a life time of earning and spending
One Up on Wall Street. Simplify your stock market choices
The Wealthy Barber Returns. Written by a Canadian for Canadians
The Millionaire Next Door. Lifestyle choices that millionaires make and what you can learn
Rich Dad Poor Dad. Rethinking adversity to leverage
Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do. Read this as a teenager and it totally shaped how I followed my dreams and believed things that seemed unachievable were actually possible.
