Emergency Fund

Read the Money Sense article on an emergency fund.

I am retired and I still have an emergency fund. It is for the unexpected happening. I last used it when I need to pay for physiotherapy because of a sore back. I sat at my computer too much during the last lock down. You never know when you are going to need some extra funds.

Life is cyclical. Economically, we have expansions and contractions. We are lucky that there has not been a contraction since 2008. We are probably in one now. When you have an emergency fund you will have a lot less stress during economic contractions. I also had another source of income besides my job when I worked. I invested in dividend paying companies and this certainly made economic changes much less stressful for me.

On my other blog I wrote yesterday about Waterloo Brewing Ltd (TSX-WBR, OTC-BIBLF) ... learn more. Next, I will write about Keg Royalties Income Fund (TSX-KEG.UN, OTC-KRIUF) ... learn more on Friday, December 2, 2022 around 5 pm.

Peter Sweden - Substack

Another newsletter on Substack is one by Peter Sweden. I like to get all different points of views. I like to know what people are saying.

I want to take some time and write about writers on Substack. All the ones I read are on Substack have referenced by others on Substack. However, you can go on Substack and signup to read authors by category.

I started to read Substack authors after I saw an interview that included Bari Weiss and she talked about Substack. I looked at what Bari Weiss had to say on Substack first. She has various people write in her Substack and for ones I liked, I signed up for their Substack newsletters.

Low Interest Credit Cards

This article on Money Sense suggests that if you run a credit card balance you should get a low interest Credit Card. That is not a bad suggestion.

However, I do think that it is a very bad idea to run a credit card balance. I never do. I pay my credit card off every month. If I need money for a big item, I used my Line of Credit.

0% in 30 Years

There is an interesting article from Mauldin Economics and Thompson Clark about investing in China. Investors in the largest Chinese ETF have seen no positive return in 30 years. I get daily emails from Mauldin Economics and they are always interesting.

By the way, I would never personally invest in China. I do not do foreign investing. I currently mostly invest in Canada. The only foreign investment I have is a small US index mutual fund.
