EP262 Taking Control of Our Money with Kelley Keehn

Sep 27, 2022

Kelley Keehn believes everyone has money problems. That’s as true for millionaires as it is for people who spend years trying to pay off their student debt. However, these last few years have been especially challenging for everyone. With the pandemic and the current state of the economy, it can be difficult to know what to do to secure your finances. So, in this episode, Kelley will be joining the show to share her tips for navigating these uncertain times.

Listen in as Kelley explains the importance of reviewing your spending so you know where your money is going and why it is essential to keep an eye on your debts. You will learn why "buy now, pay later" isn’t necessarily a great idea, why you should open the lines of communication with the CRA, and how to make your budget work.
