The stresses of money

Money sucks. Eloquent right?
I'm currently in the process of arranging to pay back all of my student loans. And trust me, there's a lot of them. It's stressful. What's even worse, I'm not using the schooling at all. And won't ever. For multiple reasons that we will just not get into right now.

I didn't get scholarships or bursaries or anything of the sort. What I did get is the pressure to apply for numerous student loans. And I did. I worked very little during college, that you can't even count it. So basically $50,000 thrown away. Ya, fun times. Sense the sarcasm?

My girls both have RESP's set up. And once I finally apply and receive H's birth certificate, both will be getting a savings account set up as well. I want to teach them about money and the smart ways to work with money and save it. I want them to know all about bursaries and scholarships and everything else that will make sure that they aren't paying for student loans for years to come; All the stuff that I wish I knew and was much more educated about. Unless they're gonna be doctors, because I don't know if we could finance all those years ;)

I think there's lots of information out there. You don't need to be a straight A student nor do you need to be living in poverty to receive "free money". It's out there, you just need to look!! Lesson learned.
