Date: January 1, 2015 Time: 9:37 a.m. (well, it was a late night after all…) Ok, now what? As the clock ticked over to start 2015 we are once again on the verge a new period – a new year.

One of the things that I love about my job is that I get to have interesting and passionate conversations with Canadians regarding money, personal finance and fiscal responsibility. We all have a relationship with money – sometimes it is a good relationship – sometimes not.

I was a bit puzzled, so I decided to resort to the best question ever asked by a four year old – “Why?”
