Fall 2008

Four real moments from the financial crisis. You only know what people knew then.

You

34, Mississauga, salaried at $68,000. A $250,000 mortgage that renews in April 2009.

Your money

RRSP of $40,000 in a TSX index fund. $300 a month going in. $6,000 emergency fund, about six weeks of expenses.

The rules

No hindsight. Stay inside your budget. Points go to the reasoning, not the luck: a good call can still lose money.
