EQ Bank High Interest Savings Account
EQ Bank
If you’re keeping cash in a regular savings account you’re leaving free money on the table! Most big banks these days will pay you an interest rate of 0.01% (that is a very sad rate my friend). EQ Bank is a Canadian online bank that offers a much higher interest rate at 2.5%!
This is one of those personal finance hacks that isn’t too good to be true.

How To Win Grant Money
Over the past 7 years I’ve started 3 separate businesses. All of these businesses were financed by government grants that I found, applied for, and won. If you have a business or side hustle idea, then you should definitely be looking into applying for grants to get your idea off the ground!
What nobody realizes about most grants is that they NEED more people to apply to them. They want to give you the funding (that IS their job) as long as you present a solid plan and follow their grant guidelines professionally.

How To Save Money On Your Taxes
When you tally up where your money goes over the course of your life, you’ll find that taxes are most likely going to be your single biggest expense. On top of that, many of us pay far more money in taxes than we need to.
We’re told to ‘budget’ our necessary living expenses, to ‘reduce our subscriptions’ and ‘stop buying lattes’, but why does nobody tell us about how we can reduce the expense of our tax bills by thousands of dollars a year in order to keep more of our own money?
That’s some serious financial gatekeeping bullsh*t if you ask me.
Most of us are woefully unprepared to navigate our taxes when we graduate and enter the world of adulthood. This guide to tax deductions will help you begin learning how to save money on taxes, so you can keep your money and use it to become wealthy!
