Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
While flowers and dinner are lovely, one of the most everlasting things you can do for your relationship is get on the same page financially.
As you might know, money is one of the leading sources of stress within a relationship. With some simple planning it really doesn’t have to be.
Whether you're newly together or have been sharing finances for years, February is a great time to have an honest conversation about:
• Your shared goals (home, travel, retirement)
• How you should split your day-to-day expenses
• Any debt each person is carrying
• And how your emergency fund is looking
It doesn't have to be a heavy conversation, even a casual 15-minute chat over dinner can make a big difference.
If you'd like a simple framework for starting your joint financial planning conversation or need help setting up a joint budget, we're always happy to help!

We wanted to give you a heads up that the GST/HST break that the federal government put into place in early December comes to an end on February 15th, 2026. So, if you notice your grocery receipts or kids’ clothing bills looking higher than usual, you aren’t imagining it.
Items that Qualified:
• Food
• Beverages
• Restaurants, Catering, or other food/drink establishments
• Kid’s Clothing & Footwear
• Children’s Diapers & Car Seats
• Kid’s toys & Puzzles
• Video game Consoles, Controllers, and Physical Video Games
• Physical Books & Newspapers
• Christmas/ Holiday Decorative Tress
While that tax break provided some short-term relief, many Canadians are now feeling the "rebound" as prices return to normal. Now is a great time to do a quick 10-minute audit of your monthly spending.
If you are looking for resources or a simple spreadsheet to track your expenses, feel free to reach out to us and we’d be happy to help.
