Financial Literacy Month
November is Financial Literacy Month and the Quebec CPA Order is taking this opportunity to remind everyone that having a solid grasp of their personal finances is important.
This year, we’ve prepared an information kit specially designed for couples. No matter where you are as a couple or family, a healthy financial situation is the starting point for many dreams. This information kit has simple, practical tools that you can use to better understand your financial situation and feel confident when discussing it with your partner.
Financial balance in a relationship does not necessarily mean splitting everything 50-50. Having a 100% informed discussion about your couple’s finances is not always easy, but it is necessary.
