As I get closer to retirement ( 13 months- but who's counting!) I am reading more and more about finances. I have always been a saver. I think my best financial moves have been paying off my house mortgages (2 in 25 years) within seven years each. Second would be joining a stock investment club. When it folded I had learned enough that I then went out and opened my own portfolio via a discount broker and it is something I will have fun with when I retire. Worst financial move was putting $2,500 into Portus principal protected note. I trusted my fianancial advisor but obviously neither of us knew what it was all about. Luckily the regulators are getting my money back to me by dribs and drabs. email entry from Diane R:

Been reading your blog for 6 months now, keep up the great work. My biggest financial mistake would have to be paying interest on OSAP loan after going back to college fool time. Due to my omission I paid 1.5 years of interest on a $10K loan at a time when money was scarce. Ghrrr! To avoid it, all one has to is mail a form the college confirming enrolment and save money. Cheers your financial health, TKO from Ontario Greeting and Congratulations Cad Cap!

My investing mistake has been recent and ongoing as well and I hope to learn and make changes. I bought some stocks and sold them as soon as they dropped a bit. I made some money but should have not looked so much and should have not sold them as they are higher now. Some quite a bit. But in this market, it is hard to watch the ups and downs. I recommend just buy and leave it if you believe in the company. However, it is hard to resist watching them when you have a lot invested. I did not lose anything at least and made a bit but could have made a lot more if I just left it and stopped looking at it. So there it is, a classic that is repeated by others here. I would recommend in this market, be careful as there are a lot of swings. Congratulations on 3 years of a truly great, informative and regularly read blog!
