And with the support of worksheets and website resources this is a book that will actually get people into action and really start living the life they want.

RSP or TFSA – which one should you choose?
UNSTUCK – How to Get out of Your Money Rut and Start Living the Life you Want
by Karin Mizgala and Sheila Walkington
(Excerpt from: Chapter 11 – Don’t Give Up on Retirement Yet)
It’s true that a lot of people are shying away from investing in RSPs, citing disappointing markets, big mortgage payments and newer TFSA options. Statistics Canada reports that almost 90% of tax filers were eligible to contribute to an RSP in 2010, but only 26% actually made contributions. Across Canada, the median contribution was $2,790.
In deciding whether or not it makes sense for you to invest in RSPs or TFSAs, here are some guidelines to consider: Continue reading

Can you have too many RSPs?
While you are in January planning and goal setting mode, take the time to review how many RSP accounts you have. If you have more than one, you probably have too many!
See what Karin Mizgala, CEO of Money Coaches Canada has to say in an interview with the Globe and Mail:
Posted in Relationship to money
2013 is my year to get smart with money!
These were the words that stood out from a recent conversation I had with a new client. She went on to say that although thinking about money make her anxious, she had decided that she was ready to shift her thinking and to take her finances to the next level. She was tired of frittering away her money on little things and never having money available for unexpected expenses or for vacations. 2013 was her year to change how she “did” money!
If this is your year to change how you manage, organize or think about money, I invite you to check out a great line-up of educational events coming up in January and February.

The power behind the plan
UNSTUCK – How to Get out of Your Money Rut and Start Living the Life you Want
by Karin Mizgala and Sheila Walkington
(Excerpt from: Chapter 6 – Getting What you Really Want)
Dreams and goals have power. When you dream, you think creatively about the life you would like to live. When you set goals, you tell yourself and those around you that you are working towards something that is important to you. When you set goals to attain your dream life, you are saying “I’ve finished waiting—I’m going to make this happen.” Continue reading
