Cover Me Urban: Food, Fashion, Drink, Music, Fun

 

On Wednesday April 5th, I had the opportunity of attending Cover Me Urban a fundraising event for Youth Without Shelter as a guest of Tangerine Bank.

The event was held to raise money and awareness about Ending homelessness…one youth at a time, one step at a time.

About Youth Without Shelter

Youth Without Shelter (YWS) is an emergency residence and referral agency serving homeless youth who are dedicated to providing shelter and support programs for homeless youth ages 16­-24 and provide an independent shelter, committed to diverse client ­focused services, in a safe, non­judgmental supportive environment. Their programs enable youth to live responsibly and independently in society.

Frustrated with the lack of safe, emergency housing and support programs for their students, in 1986 a group of teachers and guidance counsellors created Youth without Shelter. Since that time YWS has helped more than 15,000 homeless youth to build their confidence and life-skills and to find long-term stable housing and jobs. Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are dedicated to providing getting youth off the streets permanently by providing shelter and support programs in a safe environment.

About Cover Me Urban Event

The event was held at the Maison Mercer. It was fun filled night with great food, fashion, drink and conversation – all in support of Youth Without Shelter.

#Millenials – Here’s How to Conquer Retirement!

#Millenials – Here’s How to Conquer Retirement!

I know, retirement may be a long way away, but that’s no reason you shouldn’t start counting your pennies now! You may want to focus on saving for a new ride, a new house, or even a vacation. But a recent study conducted by Tangerine Bank found that this isn’t the case. 62% of millenials have already started saving for retirement!

You love living a happy life now, so why shouldn’t you have a great one down the road? By opening up an RSP, you can put a few pennies away a month and thanks to a great interest rate, you’re on your way to owning a great vacation property after retirement!

So how do they do it? 42 per cent of the surveyed millenials said they make it automatic by setting up an ASP (Automatic Savings Program), and 27 per cent said they participate in their company’s matching program.

So besides working hard and stashing away cash for the good life later on, what else are millennials prepared to do for retirement? Tangerine’s survey also asked about some interesting sacrifices – here are the results:

  •          59 per cent of millennials would only go out once a week to socialize with friends in order to retire before the age of 65
  •          47 per cent of millennials would give up takeout food and cook all their meals to retire before the age of 65
  •          Over  a quarter (28 per cent) of millennials would work 50+ hours a week for the remainder of their working career to retire in their 50s

So that being said, if you’re between 18-34 it may be time to start considering an RSP. Find out more here
