While we hope for flowers and sunshine as we’ve officially entered Spring, we know there will be another snowfall around the corner for all of us in Calgary.  Despite the weather forecast, we are all looking forward to the warmer months ahead. 

"Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder."

Our early experiences with money play a role in shaping our financial beliefs and behaviours as adults, often influencing our decisions in ways we may not consciously realize. This article explores how these formative money memories- whether positive or negative – can impact everything from spending habits to investment choices. While these lessons can be valuable, it is important to question whether they still serve us well in our current financial lives. By reflecting on and, when necessary, reshaping these ingrained beliefs, we can make more intentional financial decisions that align with our present goals and values.

Arcade Adventures

Sometimes, you just need an afternoon off to unleash your inner kid – and that’s exactly what we did at the arcade! Four women, lots of games. From high-speed racing showdowns (Mario Kart), intense ghost hunting (Pac-Man) and some impressive dance moves (Dance Dance Revolution) – we had lots of fun! Let’s just say, some hidden talents were revealed! Despite all our efforts, we didn’t get the prizes we wanted – but the fun was definitely worth it!
