Join us for a comprehensive five-part program designed to demystify financial concepts and empower you with the knowledge you need to make informed decisions. Led by Whistler resident Bill Erichson, a retired business trainer with over 35 years of experience, this program focuses on how things work rather than prescribing what you should do.

Lesson One: Introduction & Borrowing (January 13) lays the foundation for the course. Topics include:

What is money and how does it flow
Interesting Interest
How Banks really work
Credit, and why it is critical in modern society

Lesson Two: Earning & Spending (February 10) discusses how people make and spend money, and discusses the patterns and habits which affect your monthly spending.  Topics include:

Spending and Personality
Habits and Motivation
The “reverse budget”
Different types of earning (They are not all taxed the same!)

Lesson Three: Taxes (March 10) discusses one of the largest ‘expenditures’ for all Canadians. This is more how to better understand the system, rather than how to do your income tax.  Topics include:

Types of Taxes
How Canadian Income Tax Works
Tax Deductions vs. Tax Credits
TFSAs, RRSPs, and more

Lesson Four: Introduction to Investments (April 14) briefly introduces participants to investment options. Our goal is to equip people to have better and more meaningful discussions with their financial advisors. Topics include:

Stocks and Bonds – what they are and how they work
Introduction to analysis (don’t worry – it’s simple!)
Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), and Mutual Funds

Lesson Five: Other Investments (May 12) is a quick overview of different types of investments, and a few investment tactics to help you build wealth. (They may not be for you, but you may want to be aware of them.) Topics include:

Levered Investing (Should you borrow to invest?)
Real Estate Investments
Collectables, futures, and more
