If you are living on an average Canadian income, how can you afford to buy a home and start saving for retirement, even in a city like Vancouver or Toronto with the richest real estate in the country? This is the question that every Canadian is asking these days, especially in Vancouver where the most homely bungalow is selling for well over $1 million. Living in Metro Vancouver and with expertise as a practicing Certified Financial Planner professional, Christine Conway shows you how to do it. Speaking from her own experience, Conway lays out a practical plan that the average Canadian can follow. The key is to pay down debt quickly to avoid getting caught when interest rates rise which can make the payments on your mortgage increase, and avoid mounting interest payments that can exceed the original value of the home. | The Debt Free Lifestyle by Christine Conway, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
