It’s been a while since the last time I wrote something about personal finance so I think it’s an appropriate time to revisit. The budgeting concept has been very strictly enforced in my wife and I practice as we know the inportance of keeping things tight within the household budget. The idea is to review…

I managed to squeeze in another purchase this month by accumulating a new Reit in my portfolio, with the addition of Sasseur Reit which I purchased for $0.705 today.
