Why Visa Points and Visa Dollars are Worthless
I just wanted to write a quick post about my experience with my Coast Capital Savings Visa Desjardins and the ‘visa bonus dollars’ program they have. First, as an FYI, if you do not pay $30/year annual fee you get .05% of purchases converted into bonus dollars instead of the whopping 1%… For the longest time we couldn’t figure out…
Is a House a Great Investment?
This is a SUPER video to demonstrate how you have to be very careful when you buy a home and talk about it as an ‘investment’. It may be one of the *worst* investments you could make. Please note that even though this video is excellent, it doesn’t talk about other very important factors like the fact that you have…

Goodbye 2014! Hello 2015!
Well, as the Lord God explicitly laid out for me, 2013 was a ‘year of pain’, 2014 would be a ‘year of recovery’ and 2015 is expected to be a ‘year of gain’. The first two have played out exactly perfectly to a tee. 2015 is a mysterious mystery which lies before me and I’m like a man about to…
Target Canada (Target Brands Inc) is Totally off the Mark
Wow. It’s pretty rare that something happens in the corporate world that is so pathetic that it blows my mind, however, Target Canada (Target Brands Inc) has done it. My friend Paul told me that he was unable to view the products that Target sells on their website. I refused to believe him and didn’t even bother checking. Finally, he…
Apple: Shiny on the Outside, Rotten in the Centre
It’s not like you don’t know this yet, but some some days I get so saddened watching people buy into a bad deal that I feel inspired to write about it. I will likely be reprimanded by my wise friends for wasting my time, but I still like to think that some people just act out of ignorance and if…
My Divorce Phone Call with FIDO (Freaking Incompetent Deception Organization)

FUQ! F-UP! F-U! ARRG!

So I’m using this contact management system for my sales job. During the course of my job (and if you are in sales or many other businesses…
The Secular and Spiritual Need for a Team
This topic has been on my heart a lot and seems to pop up all the time in entrepreneurial discussions and spiritual discussions. In business, it seems there are people who want to start up a company but want to do everything themselves. They want full ownership of the company and want to make sure that all gains for their…
