I can’t believe that I’m no longer in college. When I was a student I thought that college would never end. I never thought that the weekend would come. Now here I am in my late-20s writing about student credit cards as I think back to my first days with credit.

Are you excited to finally get on the road? Do you finally have your license in your hands?

I have a late birthday (December 26th), so I was the last one of my friends to drive. I know how it feels to wait around for an eternity waiting to drive. I hated it. I had to see my friends drive to school while I was stuck on foot patrol walking everywhere. I couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel.

When I finally started driving, I realized that it wasn’t cheap and that I was in for more than I bargained.

Wedding planning is like a second full-time job, if you've ever planned a wedding you know exactly what I'm talking about. Putting together a massive event with all the moving parts can be overwhelming for even the most capable bride-to-be.

You love your yard. You want to create a welcome retreat from the world, an oasis where one can read a book or enjoy time with friends and family. The only problem is you’re short the big bucks needed to create the perfect landscape.

You worked hard, cut back, and saved up. You can finally afford to make a down payment on that home. You’re now living in your first home. You’re now on your own and responsible for your own decisions.

The issue of home insurance comes up. What do you do? What should you pay?

Are you a festival junkie? Do have a calendar countdown app on your phone with all your festival fun programmed in? The Calgary Stampede usually gets all the credit when people think about outdoor shows in Alberta, but there’s a lot more going on in our little town.

Nobody wants to have their car stolen.

There are ways you can minimize the risks of this, of course. You’d be surprised how many people I know who don’t normally lock their car. Parking inside of a garage or indoor area helps as well.
