Planning Home Projects When Money Is Tight (7PM) | Credit Canada

The roof won't wait for your budget to catch up

Home projects don't ask for permission. Whether it's a leaky roof, an aging furnace, or a renovation you've been dreaming about for years, the question isn't if something will come up; it's when. And when money is tight, that question can feel overwhelming.

This isn't a webinar about cutting corners. It's about making confident, informed decisions: what to fix now, what can wait, and how to pay for it without derailing your finances. 

Join Bruce Sellery, Credit Canada's CEO, bestselling personal finance author, and the trusted voice behind Moolala: Money Made Simple, as he teams up with contractor and TV personality Sherry Holmes for a can't-miss conversation where money expertise meets hands-on home know-how. Together, they're breaking down exactly how to tackle home projects on a real-world budget.
