'DOLLAR$ and $EN$E'

Brian's Column

We love money, we hate money. We always want MORE money! Here Brian will teach you some basics, some common sense information, and ways to be in control of YOUR money.

About Brian: Aside from our Ask a Guy guys, our web masters and some event staff, Brian is GCDA's only 'regular' male writer - at the moment - come on guys, request a column! Originally from Winnipeg Manitoba, Brian has just moved now from Calgary Alberta to Toronto Ontario. He is a writer, Real Estate Investor and Leadership Facilitator. "All my life I have been interested in money and how it works. I have read many books, taken many courses and have worked in real estate and financial investing since 2004. I've been around the world on trips paid by cash by my ability to make and save money, I bought my very first brand new vehicle in cash and I have directly and indirectly raised 7.5 million dollars for real estate development projects."

Something unique about Brian:
"This is true: at 21 years old I actually slipped on a banana peel! Then at 33, while driving, I witnessed a chicken crossing the road! I didn't have time to stop and find out why, but it did appear to be to ‘get to the other side'."

passion:
"The outdoors, traveling, investing and helping other people learn how to grow their money."

Brian's message: "Life is about abundance, and money can be a plentiful and happy thing in your life. My goal is to show teen guys and girls at their young age how to find, keep and invest their money so they always have more than enough, and can share!"
