The Book Is Here

A 12-week beginner's guide to personal finance and confident investing.

I promised no spam, but this one is a milestone.

The Book Is Here

After years of writing and months of clean-up, it is what I always meant it to be — a book for busy people, updated for 2026.

Clear, concise, practical.

Tiny but mighty.

Inside, we walk through money together. How to organize your cash flow. How to set up your accounts. How to step into investing with your eyes open.

The investing chapters go deeper. Why investing matters. How to think about your choices. How to place your first trade without freezing at the screen. How to keep a record of your contribution room. And how to rebalance your portfolio.

I go over the basics of RRSP, TFSA, RESP, RDSP, and FHSA for Canadians. For my American readers, I connect each to your closest counterparts — Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, 529 Plan, and ABLE Account.

When you’re ready to invest, you will not be alone in it. My voice and the weekly activities will be right there with you.

See you inside,

XO, Mel
