Key Learnings from Last Year’s Workshops

Start Smart: Your Financial Literacy Journey

Reni Odetoyinbo’s financial literacy workshop, hosted by CPA Ontario, emphasizes the importance of starting early, mastering budgeting, saving, and investing, and taking actionable steps to build a strong financial future.

Goal Setting with the SMART Framework

The SMART framework helps you turn dreams into achievable goals by setting specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound objectives, then breaking them down, tracking progress, and staying adaptable.

Credit Cards: Good Debt vs Bad Debt

Credit cards can be powerful tools for building credit and earning rewards, but using them wisely—by understanding interest, managing debt, and protecting your credit score—is key to long-term financial health.

Money Gains: Key Takeaways

Understanding the difference between saving and investing, and using tools like budgeting and compound interest, helps you align financial goals with time horizons and grow your money wisely over time.
