Do you know if you are owed money from a bankruptcy?

To help you find out if you are owed money from bankrupt debtors, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada maintains an Unclaimed Funds Database.

Avoid owning multiple savings bank accounts

A large number of people own savings accounts in several banks. Some are inherited from their previous jobs while some are opened to avoid tax deduction at source on fixed deposits. As the minimum average quarterly balance required to maintain these savings accounts increases in private sector banks, owing multiple savings accounts become a costly affair.

Forgot About An Old Bank Account? Find Your Money!

Have an old bank account that you never actually closed? Or maybe a relative died and you’re unsure if all their accounts were located to be given to those mentioned in their will? Luckily there is a simple way to search for money left in unclaimed bank accounts.

Save Money This Christmas With LED Lights

After thinking about it for the last couple of Christmases, this year we finally spent the money to get outdoor LED lights and an LED pre-lit Christmas tree. While LED lights can cost more upfront than traditional incandescent bulbs, this expense is easily made up for by the cost savings throughout their life.

Today's Quote:

70% of Americans don't have a will. If you have dependents, no matter how little or how much you own, you need a will. If your situation isn't too complicated you can even do your own with software like WillMaker from Nolo Press. Protect your loved ones. Write a will.
