The 'no-budget' budget: A simplified way to track money
SUMMARY: Budgeting isn’t a universal solution; different methods suit different individuals. Traditional budgeting often overwhelms some due to the need for meticulous expense tracking. An alternative is the “no-budget” budget, also known as the anti-budget. This intuitive method involves covering essential expenses and then intentionally reducing discretionary spending without tracking every dollar. After paying necessary bills, any remaining money becomes disposable income. This method is ideal for those who prefer simplicity and live within their means, but it may lead to overspending for those with fluctuating incomes or poor financial discipline. Caution is advised when adopting this approach.

What to know about Trump’s calls to make Canada the ’51st state’
SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his suggestion that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation. While some dismiss Trump’s idea as posturing or joking, others worry it signals an attempt to expand U.S. influence. Trump has also floated ideas like acquiring Greenland and controlling the Panama Canal. The merger proposal is highly unpopular in Canada, with 82% of Canadians opposed. Trump’s comments may reflect efforts to increase U.S. power, though experts are unsure how seriously to take his threats. The shift in leadership in Canada complicates the response to Trump’s actions.
