Why We Started This Work
Back in 2019, we noticed something troubling. People were getting financial advice that sounded smart but didn't translate to their real situations. Someone making ,000 in Halifax got the same budgeting templates as someone earning ,000 in Vancouver.
That's when we decided to focus on budget literacy specifically for Canadian contexts. We work with the actual numbers people face - mortgage rates that matter here, tax situations that reflect our system, and cost-of-living realities across different provinces.
Our approach isn't about perfect budgets or eliminating all spending joy. It's about understanding where your money goes and making choices that align with what you actually want from life.
