Women, Money and the Will to Waive Hands

 

Kerry K. Taylor is the sole blogger on Squawkfox.com. She writes about a lot of things with topics ranging from frugal living to getting a job, from holiday shopping to travel and fitness. If it relates to money and how to do something better, Kerry K. is probably writing about it.

However rather than telling you how big of a deal Kerry K. Taylor is, why don’t you just check out her blog, you will probably like it. (click the image below for financial straight talk).

Kerry K. Taylor was our very first guest on the Because Money Podcast, check her out here in this marathon of an episode:

Making things happen… Thanks for connecting with us here, we hope you enjoy the show!

What a great episode with our very first guest on the #BecauseMoney Podcast. Kerry K. Taylor who tweets @squawkfox and blogs at squawkfox.com joined us and we talked about everything! Seriously… Everything.

Summary

Seriously, we covered a lot in this episode, from what does living frugally look like to handling the dynamics of family at Christmas and dealing with gift giving. If you haven’t already check out Kerry K. Taylor’s most recent blog post, this got some air time in our conversation.

Probably the best tweet of the evening was shared by Noel D’Souza quoting Kerry K. as saying…

 Some of the other other topics we covered included:

  • Scarves and Spam Bots
  • Consumerism around Christmas time “taking a holiday diet”
  • Teaching your kids the value of things
  • Minimalism, living within you means and enjoying small things
  • Does one toy in mean one toy out?
  • Thoughtful year round gift giving
  • Tactics on Saving money at grocery stores

The general feel of the conversation was around responsible family finance. Kerry K. Taylor brings home a lot of points… certainly knows her stuff. Well worth the extended timestamp on the video!

Home Buyers Plan.
RRSPs to fund a Downpayment? Good or Bad? Being that it is getting close to tax season (some argue tax season is already here), expect to see a lot more conversation about RRSPs. Of note lately is talk that the Home Buyers Plan is more of a downpayment loophole than anything.
