How often have you looked for financial advice and it’s always about a couple or a family? How often have you thought, “that’s awesome but it’s just me and my bank account. Where’s the financial advice for solo income earners?” 

Do you know:

• How much you have to save for life?

• If you get any tax breaks?

• If we’re really living in a society made for couples? Evidence says yes and I’m going to explore that in the next issue. Look for the Elizabeth Warren mention.

I’m a solo earner and I know I’m not alone. A report by Statistics Canada found that the number of Canadians living alone has ‘more than doubled in the past 35 years’ making single-person households the most common type.
