The Financial Classroom Canada
by The Canadian Financial Classroom
Welcome to The Financial Classroom Canada. This is a podcast that talks about personal finances and discusses personal stories/struggles of financial mistakes.

This is a podcast where we think that the American dream is built by living within your means. Listen as we discuss how to build wealth, live frugally, and attack life with a financial plan.
