Author: Kyle Prevost: Teacher, Personal Finance Blogger, Student Debt Expert | Justin Bouchard - Dean of Residence, Personal Finance Blogger, Entrepreneur September 8, 2014 Duration: 21:23

You’ve graduated from school, decided the European or Australian travel circuits weren't for you (perhaps you didn’t properly understand the meaning of YOLO?).  Now what? Your parents and the world would say not only is it time to get a job – it’s time to act like a Canadian grown up and buy a house […]

MMFBT 024 – Time to Get Your Own Place? is posted originally on My University Money.


Kyle Prevost and Justin Bouchard, the minds behind the popular book *More Money for Beer and Textbooks*, bring their straightforward, no-judgment financial advice into a new format with their My University Money podcast. Both were once students figuring things out themselves-Kyle is now a teacher and student debt expert, while Justin serves as a Dean of Residence and entrepreneur-so they understand the real pressures facing young people and their families. This isn't about abstract theory; it's practical guidance rooted in their own experiences and their work as leading personal finance bloggers. Each episode tackles the specific money questions that come with post-secondary life, from managing student loans and avoiding debt traps to finding side hustles and building good credit early. They break down complex topics into actionable steps, offering a crucial roadmap for students aiming to build a stable financial foundation before they even graduate. The conversation is relatable, often humorous, and always focused on empowering Canadian youth to make informed decisions with their money. Tune in for a candid discussion that treats personal finance not as a scary obligation, but as an essential skill for unlocking future opportunities and independence.
