Reader stories

Share your story

The biggest money lessons I’ve ever learned came from families sharing what they wished they’d known. Yours might help the next reader land softer.

If you have a story about money in Canada — something you got right, something that cost you, something you wish your parents had known — I’d love to hear it. Newcomer, established immigrant, Canadian-born, doesn’t matter. Stories from every kind of household teach something.

I might use it (with your permission) in a Sunday Letter or an article. I’ll always ask before publishing, and I’ll anonymize anything you want kept private.

I’ll only use this to follow up with you. No newsletter signup from this form.
Minimum 40 characters. Maximum: as long as you need.

My promises to you

  • I read every story. Replies usually take 1-3 days.
  • I’ll never publish anything without asking first — even if you said it’s OK above, I’ll send you a draft for approval.
  • I’ll anonymize anything you want kept private — change names, omit cities, blur details.
  • Your email goes nowhere — not to MailerLite, not to any list. Just to my inbox.
  • If you change your mind, email me at any time and I’ll remove your story.
