Most Canadian personal finance content is written by marketers, not by people who have actually lived through the things they describe. I want LandedMoney to feel different. Here is how I work.
Who I write for
Anyone in Canada who wants clear money help. That includes newly landed immigrants drinking from a firehose of unfamiliar systems, established immigrant families who never fully figured the system out, and Canadian-born readers who were never taught any of this in school. The door is open to all of you.
Who I am
My name is Quang Huynh. I was born and raised in Canada to Vietnamese-Chinese immigrant parents. I am not a financial advisor and I do not pretend to be. I am the kid who grew up translating bank letters and CRA notices for his family — and I write things down here so other families have something my parents never had.
How articles get written
Every article on this site goes through the same process:
- Real question first. I write about questions my own family asked, or questions I see Canadians asking in forums and community groups. Not what a keyword tool tells me will rank.
- Primary sources. CRA, Government of Canada, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, and the actual bank or product page. Not other blogs.
- Plain language. Grade 7 to 8 reading level. Short sentences. Real examples. No jargon unless I explain it.
- Honest about limits. If something is complicated, I say so. If I do not know, I say so. If you should talk to a professional, I tell you.
- Updated when things change. Tax rules, bank fees, and government programs move. Articles get a “last updated” date and I revisit the important ones.
What I will not do
- Write a positive review of a product I would not use myself.
- Hide that a link is an affiliate link. See my affiliate disclosure.
- Let a company review or approve an article before it goes live.
- Pretend to be an expert in something I am not.
- Use scare tactics or fake urgency to push you toward a product.
Mistakes
I will make them. When I do, I fix the article and add a note at the top so you know what changed. If you spot a mistake, please tell me through the contact page.
Why this matters
Money decisions inside any Canadian household are not just about money. They are about whether your parents trust the system enough to use it. Whether the next generation gets to make choices instead of just surviving. Whether a family that has been quietly underpaid by the system for years finally claims what is theirs.
That belief is what the site is built around.
