When you contribute 18% of your income to your RRSP it’s important to keep in mind that you still have 82% of your income left for living today, and that’s before factoring in the money you are saving on your income taxes. In reality, you will still have approximately 86% of your income left for living in the here and now. RRSPs really are a great deal.

Gates didn’t impulsively drop out of college either. He took just one semester off during junior year to work full-time on Microsoft. And when momentum for the company didn’t fully pick up, Gates went back to college. Again, no one talks about that. It wasn’t until the following year that Gates took another semester off, and then another, as Microsoft grew.

I’ve learned that while you can give someone all the best knowledge and tools in the world, sometimes their life can still feel stuck.

I dream of a future where more and more people are given that gift of possibility, no matter who they are or where they were born.
