Here's Canada's population growth rates since 1946. The 2020s have clearly been quite atypical, to say the least. #cdnecon

Happy 21st Anniversary With over 20 years of personal finance blogging, this site has evolved from a broad collection of thoughts into a focused financial and personal journal. Initially covering everything under the sun, the author now writes selectively about family and finances, disabilities (especially the RDSP), and unique financial insights. While monetization was never a priority, the blog remains an open letter to family and self about money. Looking ahead, the focus is on rewriting and optimizing older content, using AI tools for SEO and social media automation. A growing interest in Money & Dementia will bring new perspectives, shaped by personal experiences with a loved one’s decline. Whether you’re here for financial wisdom or personal reflection, this blog continues to share meaningful insights for those navigating life’s financial challenges. Keywords: Personal finance blogging, RDSP, family finances, financial insights, SEO optimization, money and dementia, financial storytelling
