When a financial product is more affordable (or even free), banks aren't too keen on promoting it or helping you access it. Why? Because they want to make money. Banks are also very good at manipulating consumers into thinking they're getting a ‘deal' when they're really paying a hefty price. So, how can you know when it's truly free money and when it's a ploy? Enter Alan Whitton (aka Big Cajun Man). On today's podcast, Alan gives real examples of false ‘free' financial services and products to help us make more informed banking and investing decisions. Alan also explains how RDSPs and RESPs work and how to access income-based benefits in the two plans. Tune in for lots of practical advice!   Resources:   Canadian Personal Finance Blog: https://www.canajunfinances.com RESP & University Expenses Page: https://www.canajunfinances.com/RESP/ RDSP Information: https://www.canajunfinances.com/RDSP Alan Whitton on Twitter (@bigcajunman): https://twitter.com/bigcajunman Alan Whitton (Canajun Finances) on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/canajunfinances

Week 17 of my COVID-19 series is a solo episode where I talk about my experience being a parent during a pandemic. I don't pretend to know what it's like to be a single parent, have more than one child, or have older children, but I go through what it's been like for me since Henry was born almost 18 months ago.

Many Canadians don't realize that the government has an investment plan designed specifically for Canadians with disabilities. The Registered Disability Savings Plan exists to help disabled Canadians with their long term savings, but it can be difficult to understand. Alan Whitton is the founder of Canajun Finances, where he writes extensively about the Registered Disability Savings Plan, and RESPs as well. He joins me this week to explain the ins and outs of the RDSP, as well as the Disability Tax Credit. You can find the show notes for this episode at https://maplemoney.com/alanwhitton Do you bank with a member of CDIC? If so, your eligible deposits with that institution will be protected up to $100,000 in each of their coverage categories, in the event of a bank failure. Didn't know that banks could fail? CDIC has handled the failure of 43 of its member institutions since it was established in 1967. Guess how many people lost their protected deposits during those failures? Zero. Not a single dollar under CDIC protection was lost. Find out more about CDIC coverage and check to see if you bank with one of its member institutions by visiting https://www.cdic.ca

Alan Whitton aka BigCajunMan has been writing about finance, child disabilities, RESPs and consumerism on his blog Canadian Personal Finance Blog for over a decade. He's a homeowner in Ottawa who's married with four kids. He has been featured in the Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star and MoneySense. In my interview with Alan, we discuss dealing with double digit mortgage rates, why downsizing doesn't always make sense and the right way to help adult children buy their first homes.

Financial technology, or fin-tech, has come a long way. Much more than just a budgeting app, now you can do your banking, money management, investing and even borrowing, online. In addition to apps, fin-tech companies are following the chatbot trend. On today’s show I talk with Alan Whitton, (known as the Big Cajun Man), who has spent 35 years working in the tech industry, about whether chatbots are good for us financially and security issues around fin-tech in general. Alan interestingly points out that there isn't a lot of fin-tech companies helping people get out of debt. Most fin-tech companies go where the big money is - and that's selling new stuff.  There are very few apps that tell you to prioritize savings, create an emergency fund, or pay off debt.  Instead, we hear about robo-investors and companies like Borrowell that make a lot of money offering 'free' credit scores to entice you to borrow more. Are chatbots just a sales pitch, or can they really help us?  Tune in for more on today’s show.

Registered Disabilities Savings Plans are geared towards helping families and individuals who are living with a disability. RDSPs can only be setup for someone who is eligible to receive the Disability Tax Credit. If this is for your child, you can only begin making contributions after your child is diagnosed with an eligible disability. This is one of the main reasons RDSPs aren't as commonly used, or as frequently discussed. On this week's podcast we're welcoming back Alan Whitton, the voice behind the Canadian Personal Finance blog. This is a subject close to Alan as he and his wife found themselves having to set up an RDSP for their son. After familiarizing themselves with the ins and outs of the Disability Tax Credit, they sought help from their doctor to obtain it. On today’s show we discuss how they work, who is eligible, and what happens if you have an RDSP and file bankruptcy.

For more than a decade the "go to" source for Canadian personal finance information has been the Canadian Personal Finance Blog operated by Alan Whitton, more commonly known as the Big Cajun Man (listen to the show to find out where that name came from; having met him to record this podcast, I can confirm that he is a big guy). The Big Cajun man has accumulated the best resources on the internet on RDSPs, so next month he'll be back to do a full show just on that topic.  On today's show we addressed a very common issue: What can you do when you lose your job? Alan worked for the biggest company in Canada, Nortel, for 20 years, and he survived many rounds of layoffs until, at age 47, he was laid off.  Even though everyone knew the company was in trouble, layoffs are almost always a shock.  The Big Cajun Man tells us what it was like to live through that time, with a wife and four kids, and he explains how he survived 11 months of unemployment before starting a new career. On today’s podcast he gives practical advice for surviving, and then thriving, after a layoff.
