In today's episode, I talk to a mortgage specialist who loves to educate borrowers on how to shop for the best financing for their income and their needs.  Ross Taylor of Ross Taylor Mortgages is a two-time national award winner, specializing in difficult mortgages and first-time home buyers. You can find his financial literacy articles at his website (AskRoss.ca). Here are the top five mistakes he sees home buyers make: 1) They don't pre-qualify themselves for a mortgage with a lender before shopping. 2) They overpay for a house in a hot market, not anticipating that a pre-approved mortgage may not be issued if the house is appraised at a lower value. 3) They underestimate their one-time closing costs -- such as land transfer taxes, PST on high-ratio insurance premiums, adjustments for property taxes and condo fees, utility hookups and moving costs. This CMHC brochure will help you keep track of them all. 4) They underestimate the cost of living in their own home. Mortgage payments, property taxes and condo fees are the obvious ones. But then there is also heating, hydro, water, cable, internet and home insurance. 5) They sign up for a five-year fixed-rate mortgage with a major bank. This means they may be setting themselves up for very large prepayment penalties if they have to break the mortgage before the term is up. This can wreak havoc on your finances. It's vital to understand your lender's mortgage prepayment penalty before you sign up. In this episode, I ask Ross Taylor about a number of issues he's written about at his site: -- How to find money for your mortgage renewal when interest rates have soared. Should you consider cashing in your savings, such as RRSP or RESP assets? Should you think about selling your property in order to downsize to something smaller you can buy or to find a lower-priced property you can rent? Here's an article by Rob Carrick of the Globe and Mail on a Vancouver couple who engineered a sale of their four-bedroom home. Then, with the proceeds from the sale and a cash top-up, they bought a new three-bedroom townhouse in which they could live mortgage-free. -- What are alternative mortgage lenders? -- What are high-ratio mortgages? -- What are common myths about co-signing for a mortgage? -- Should you convert your variable-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan when you can't afford the higher payments? Here is the article Ross wrote about this dilemma. 

The 2024 Canadian federal budget has been unveiled, with a particular focus on affordability and housing this year. But the 430 page plan covers a wide gamut of other spending details – from defence, tax hikes, generational fairness and much more. Making sense of it all can be overwhelming.We'll cover all the key points of this year's budget and explain how it will affect your wallet and financial prospects. A team of Globe and Mail journalists – senior political reporter Marieke Walsh, real estate reporter Rachelle Younglai, Report on Business reporter Mark Rendell and personal finance expert Rob Carrick – join The Decibel to explain what you need to know.Questions?

As human beings, our brains are wired to solve problems. This can make long-term investment strategies, like passive investing, surprisingly challenging, especially if you're not accustomed to the ups and downs of the market – it can feel pretty unintuitive to stay the course when your instinct is to take more active steps to solve the problem! So, how can investors remain firm in their strategy and not get spooked by market changes? Joining us today to unpack this question is financial journalist, Nicolas Bérubé, whose new book From Zero to Millionaire: A Simple and Stress-Free Way to Invest in the Stock Market serves as a guide to investors on how to grow their wealth and achieve good portfolio diversification at a low cost. We talk with him about the contents of his book, his observations on financial media and its effect on investors, how to stay committed when making long-term investments, and more. We also spend the top half of the show discussing a popular idea we've seen posted by influencers online, namely that investing in stocks will give you a return of 10% or more per year on average, and the flaws in their arguments. Tune in for a deep dive into investor psychology, financial media, and much more!   Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:42) A breakdown of the flaws in the trending online theory being posted by influencers claiming that investing in stocks will give you a return of 10% or more per year on average.

(0:41:05) Unpacking the difference between investing in the stock market and playing in the stock market and the importance of having an infinite vision when investing.

Join Dave Popowich and Faisal Karmali as they talk to Rob Carrick, Personal Finance Columnist at The Globe and Mail, about a survey showing that parents are now having to help their adult children afford to live in their homes, not just buy them. Also on the show, Rob Cross, Life Coach, Speaker, and Author of Flip Your Thinking to Ignite Your World, discusses how questioning the way you think can help you achieve the life you want.

Not all journalists get to live their beat, but Rob Carrick does. His personal finance column in The Globe and Mail is one regular guy's attempt to make sense of the world of money. He's married with two 20-something kids and constantly figuring out ways to spend and invest intelligently. He asks the same questions you would and applies his experience and contacts to get answers. He got his start in financial writing back in the early 1990s when he covered the Bay Street business scene for The Canadian Press wire service. A few years later, he was transferred to CP's parliamentary bureau in Ottawa to cover consumer affairs and, later, the federal Department of Finance. He left CP and joined The Globe and Mail as investment reporter in 1996. He mentioned to his boss at the time that we didn't do much personal finance coverage at The Globe. The paper's Personal Finance column was launched shortly afterwards, with him at the wheel. What a trip it's been for Rob covering personal finance over the years. Rob's seen three bull markets for stocks, a couple of recessions and stock market crashes, one global financial crisis, the incredible rise of the housing market, soaring personal debt loads and an ever-present worry that Canadians aren't saving enough for retirement. Rob knows there's infinite personal finance content available these days online, in print and on TV and radio. Come to Rob for his experience, his willingness to challenge stale consensus thinking and, most of all, his ability to make you say after finishing one of my columns: “Now I understand.” In my interview with Rob, we discuss: His book "How Not to Move Back in With Your Parents” The Bank of Mom and Dad Top mortgage tips for first-time homebuyers Expenses that may surprise first-time homebuyers Why you shouldn't judge a bank by its hyped-up rate The First Home Savings Account (FHSA)

In this episode, we welcome back one of Canada's most trusted and widely read financial experts to discuss the state of Canadian personal finance. Rob Carrick is a columnist for The Globe and Mail, where he has brought his boots-on-the-ground perspective to readers for more than 20 years. He also co-hosts the Stress Test Podcast, where regular Canadians offer real-life perspectives on the biggest stress tests that their personal finances face in the wake of COVID-19. Tuning in, you'll find out which issues are at the forefront of Rob's readers' lives. Next, he shares his perspective on GICs and ETFs and draws a comparison between affordable housing today and the mutual fund market of 20 to 30 years ago. We talk about the lack of comprehensive advice that Canadians are receiving from their planners, the state of affordable housing in the country, and why so many Canadians say they are giving up on home ownership altogether. We also compare housing returns to the stock market and discuss successfully using a reverse mortgage, the non-financial challenges faced by retirees, and more.

In this episode, we hear from Cody, a 33-year-old living in Hamilton, Ont., who is frustrated at not being able to achieve many of his financial and life goals despite being a fiscally responsible adult.

When it comes to personal finance, 2021 was another year to remember, but not necessarily for the right reasons. Interest rates remained low and government COVID supports continued for the most part. But inflationary pressures hit hard, and Canadian families from coast-to-coast felt the impact from increased prices on everything from vehicles to gasoline and groceries.

But as populations and climate emergencies rise, experts tell us that urban densification is the necessary path forward. So what do cities have to do to retain the middle-class? And how, exactly, does the middle-class break their addiction to personal space and redefine “making it” when it comes to acquiring housing?In this episode, we hear from Jennifer Keesmaat, Toronto's former Chief City Planner and founder of Markee Developments, on why she thinks rental units and high-quality public spaces will do the trick. Plus, Rollin Stanley, former General Manager of Planning for Calgary, details how governments all over the country should get imaginative with their heritage buildings.

Today's guest is Alex Grodnik from Wall Street Oasis which easily one of the largest and best sites out there, for anybody looking to have a career on Bay Street or Wall Street. Alex also hosts their podcast which is called “Moving Up”, but what's also really interesting about him is he actually quit his really well-paying job on Wall Street to start his own business, so I thought this would also be a great episode for anybody who's maybe a little dissatisfied with their job, and is considering a career transition. We talk about why he decided to quit, his top advice for somebody looking to earn some money on the side through their own business, how he's learned to handle rejection really well and use that to propel his career, and much more. It was an absolute blast to talk to Alex, the interview went great, and I'm sure you'll like it.

A lot has happened this year, so much so that I honestly didn't remember it all until I took some time to write everything down. And even then I'm not sure if I got everything. A lot of changes are coming in 2017, which I alluded to in this episode, but I won't be sharing any of that until season 4 in January. So until then, I wanted to spend some time to reflect on all the positive things that have happened in my life and all of the things I've accomplished in 2016. To recap, here are some of the things I mentioned in this episode: I rebranded from Mo' Money Mo' Houses to just me — Jessica Moorhouse. I interviewed some of my all-time favourite money expert: Rob Carrick, Gail Vaz-Oxlade and Bruce Sellery. I launched my Listener Series for the podcast, to allow podcast listeners a voice so they could share their stories and advice for other listeners. I made the most side hustle money I ever had (and I've been blogging for 5 years people!). I started freelance writing again. I was able to finally afford to invest in my business. My husband and I bought our first place together. I've had the most media mentions I've ever had this year. In the month of November alone, I was featured as a personal finance expert on TV, the radio, a print magazine, print newspaper and online. I did two public speaking gigs. I launched the free Rich and Fit Challenge with my business partner Jaclyn Phillips, and got almost 500 registrants. I hosted and organized my first event — the Millennial Money Meetup. My husband and I vacationed in Paris (one of my bucket list destinations!). I had a blast in Portland for a girlfriend's bachelorette party, then went to her beautiful wedding right on the ocean in Vancouver. I got over my fear of talking to people. I got over my fear of being on camera. I made some amazing new friends. I got my NEXUS card. I got life insurance for myself and my husband. My husband and I got a will. My husband and I celebrated 3 years married and 3 years in Toronto. I started my Money. Life. Balance. Facebook group. Ya, that's a lot of stuff! I really do hope that 2017 is a bit less crazy, but I doubt that it will be. One can hope. One thing that did keep me very busy in 2016 though were all the resources I created. I never promote them as much as I should, but I've created some great spreadsheets and checklists to help you with your money or organizing your life. Make sure to check out my resources page to download them for free. Other than that, I'm a bit sad that this is the last episode for the season, but I've got a great season 4 ready for you in 2017. The first episode for season 4 will air on Wednesday, Jan. 11, so make sure to subscribe on iTunes or subscribe to my email list so you don't miss an episode! And again, I know I mentioned this a few times in the episode, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart thank you for your support. Without your kind reviews, comments, tweets and emails, I wouldn't be as motivated to keep making this show better and better. I can't wait to share the new episode I've already recorded for the new season, so until then, have an amazing holiday season, Merry Christmas, and have a fabulous New Years!

Generation Y and Mindless Home Buying With Special Guest Rob Carrick

Rob Carrick, Personal Finance Columnist for the Globe and Mail helps Kelly break it down 

I discuss the biggest money matters for millennials, such as student loan debt, unemployment, going back to school, and buying a house with personal finance columnist Rob Carrick from The Globe and Mail. Long episode description: I was incredibly nervous to interview Rob Carrick from The Globe and Mail for this podcast episode. I’ve been reading his words for years and when it comes to personal finance, he really knows his stuff. But since Rob is such an awesome guy, when I cornered him at the Canadian Personal Finance Conference this past fall and begged him to be on my podcast, he was kind enough to say yes.  Highlights from this Episode I love this episode so much because we talked about one of my favourite topics — millennial money matters. As a millennial who’s mission it is to help other millennials understand the core concepts of personal finance so they can take control of their lives and prosper, well it was more than a treat to talk to someone as passionate about educating Generation Y as I am. We start off with discussing two of the biggest downfalls of post-secondary students: budgeting and taking on student loans. The facts are that students don’t budget (hey, I didn’t even know what a budget was when I was in university) and they take on student loans without truly understanding what it means to be indebted. It’s no surprise that most university grads are drowning in debt and don’t know how to manage their money. On top of that, many students are going to university because they believe that’s the right step to take in order to have a successful career down the road. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case anymore, and many graduates are having a hard time finding a job in their field and have to get a professional certificate for an applied skill just to get their foot in the door (myself included). Another big topic we discussed was housing. I wrote a lot about my experiencehouse hunting in Toronto last year, but in the end I backed off and chose to continue renting instead because it just didn’t look like a good investment. It may have been 10 years ago, maybe even 5, but that just isn’t the case anymore. It was for Generation X and the Baby Boomers, but I agree with Rob in believing that more millennials need to proceed with caution when it comes to investing in property.   Shownotes: jessicamoorhouse.com/33

Today's guest is Rob Carrick, the personal finance columnist for the Globe & Mail. When the Globe announced they were going to start a financial boot-camp, Rob discovered that the most urgent concern for Canadians is debt, and they told Rob that they are in debt because they can't control their spending. On today’s show Rob talks about debt for both seniors and Gen Y, and he gives is thoughts on why it’s better to save for retirement as compared to paying down your mortgage.
