Hi, and welcome to my site! It’s a blog about personal finance and careers, told through the lens of my search for happiness and mindfulness in life. Why those things? Well, because most people view them as a necessarily evil to use in their pursuit of happiness in life… and I think they can be more than that!

You know how snakes and lizards shed their skin in order to grow? I’m starting to think that people do that too. We’re prone to feeling stuck in our own skin, our current life situation, and it can start to feel claustrophobic after a while.

The term masculinity has somewhat of a negative connotation in today’s society: it’s usually accompanied by the word “toxic,” and conjures up outdated imagery of a Schwarzenegger-esque macho man who closes himself off emotionally and always has the right answer to everything.

Today’s post is a bit of a reflection on how my karate training has changed me as an individual. There’s no doubting that, in the six years since I began training karate at my current dojo, the Jason who walks out of there today is not the same version of me as the one who walked out the very first time. Describing that change hasn’t been as cut-and-dry as I thought it would be, though.

Many of us were taught growing up that debt was the devil. It didn’t matter what kind of debt it was – if you had debt, the best thing you could do was pay it off as quickly as possible. That’s still not the worst advice you could follow, by any stretch… but in this post, I’d like to offer another perspective on debt – specifically as it relates to debt tied to your home.

The news of Neil Peart’s passing shook my family to its core. We’re a musical bunch, and given Rush is my dad’s favourite band by far, it goes without saying that the band’s music was a staple in our household growing up. As a result, their music provided a soundtrack for my childhood and teenage years, and has had a significant impact on my life.
