A calm, evidence-based approach to money
Money education works best when it is specific and repeatable. MaplePath lessons follow a simple structure: define the goal, map the current reality, list options, and pick the next smallest action. We use Canadian terminology and common scenarios, like choosing between paying down a line of credit or building an emergency fund, or deciding how TFSA contributions fit alongside employer retirement plans.
We also include consumer protection basics: understanding fees, reading account disclosures, and spotting unrealistic claims. If you ever feel overwhelmed, our resources are designed to bring you back to the fundamentals and help you move forward in a measurable way.
