Robyn Thompson Money

Had such a great time chatting with Lindsey Deluce on CTV Your Morning about how Canadians can stretch their summer budgets without cutting the fun.

Here's the thing—we all want to make the most of our short Canadian summer, but those patio dinners, road trips, and festival tickets add up fast.

The good news? There are literally hundreds of dollars in savings hiding in plain sight.

We dove into some game-changing strategies:

🏢 Employee perks you're probably forgetting about - Festival discounts, travel deals, and fitness stipends that could save you $200-$500 this year
💳 Credit card summer hacks - Making your seasonal spending work harder with cash-back boosts and travel perks ($100-$300 in potential savings)
🏛️ Community freebies - Museum passes through libraries, free splash pads, and local rec programs that families especially love ($150-$250 in value)
📱 Money-saving apps - From Too Good To Go's 70% off surplus food to Rakuten's cash back, these tools can save you $100-$200 monthly
The math is pretty incredible—we're talking over $1,000 in potential summer savings just by being a bit more strategic about things you're already doing.

"From poverty to cancer, Robyn Thompson’s experiences have shaped her financial perspective".

It’s strange to see your life summed up in a single sentence.

Those words carry a lot. But they’re also only part of the story.

Because what shaped me wasn’t just what happened—it was how I chose to respond.

To build.
To lead.
To grow.
To create wealth, not just in dollars, but in dignity, clarity, and agency.

Thank you Bouw and the Podcast for the space to share the whole picture—the mess, the meaning, and the mindset behind how I show up in money and in life.
