Hi all, I know it’s been quiet on this blog for almost two years. I have been working on a project called Healthy Wallet for some time now and I’m rolling it out in phases. If you’re interested in improving your relationship with money, then become a fan of my Healthy Wallet Facebook fan page: www.facebook.com/HealthyWallet. My focus is approaching the topic of money from a holistic perspective, combining a “whole-life” approach to money, teaching practical knowledge and examining the emotional and psychological side of money… something that is often neglected in “how-to” resources.
I will be launching www.HealthyWallet.ca for Canadians in 2011 (in phases once again), then working to roll out www.HealthyWallet.com for my money-minded friends in the US. Some basic content will be similar between the two sites. What will be different are the references (e.g. RRSPs instead of IRAs on the Canadian site, etc.) and information contributed by the pool of experts on the site. Canadian experts will participate on the .ca site, and American experts on the .com site. Once I have the first site launched, I will transfer any relevant material from this blog, then close it down for good.
To keep up to date on the progress of Healthy Wallet, follow me on Twitter @HealthyWallet: www.twitter.com/HealthyWallet
Canadians, and Torontonians in particular, can join my Meetup group to participate in webinars, teleseminars and live events: www.meetup.com/HealthyWallet
Cheers! Marla

Thanks for asking. Yes, that’s the goal. For the website, it’s going to be a phased approach, starting with basic primers on several financial categories (insurance, debt, taxes, etc.). There are details within these categories that are often misunderstood so I want to bring clarity to users.
With that will come online and offline resources that will not only add to your knowledge on how to handle money, but improve your relationship with it. Most often poor financial health is less a result of lack of financial knowledge; it derives from patterns of overspending, underearning or chronic debting. Identify the patterns, delve deep into the underlying causes (which are often repressed and subconscious), apply sound money management principles to address them, and your wallet will get healthier every day. Follow Healthy Wallet on Facebook to keep apprised on developments. Cheers!
