It's probably true that nearly everyone has had a job that pushed them to the breaking point. When you've finally had enough, you quit and move on.

"Many of us have become pretty comfortable shopping online. That's good because it enables us to save money and it also shows that we're embracing technological change. At the same time, that comfort level can also expose us to identity theft and security breaches that can do a lot of damage."

"It must be great to be a landlord in most major Canadian cities these days. Other than the whole putting up with renters thing I mean.

After all, most young adults aren't exactly known for being responsible and organized - two key traits for a successful property manager.

I began my foray into personal finance through reading personal finance books.
