If you're a high-earner who should feel financially secure—but instead you’re stressed, second-guessing every money move, or wondering “where the hell is it all going?”—this list is for you. You won’t get boring budgeting tips or shamey money lectures here. I don’t believe in restrictive spreadsheets or guilt-based advice. What you will get? Real talk, helpful tips, and the kind of financial guidance that actually works for busy, badass women who want more peace, more clarity, and more control over their money—without sacrificing their lifestyle (yes, you can keep your vacations and Starbucks). I’ll send you weekly(ish) emails with practical tools, client stories, spicy truth bombs, and the occasional rant about why traditional budgeting is the worst. Basically, if you want to feel good about your money—and finally have a system that feels good too—get on the list. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you might just start making bank moves you didn’t think were possible
"Ms. Cole… I still use that."

Every so often I get a message that starts with: “Ms. Cole…” (Yes. Maiden name era. Chalkboard days. Overhead projector energy.) And then they tell me this: “That money unit you taught us? I still use it.” Fifteen years later. And do you know what I used as our textbook? The Wealthy Barber. (Register here for my FREE WB book club....and no, you don't have to read it, I doubt my students did 🤣) Not because it was flashy and not because it promised overnight wealth. Because it taught the boring rules that actually work. Pay off high-interest debt first. That’s it. No hype, no gimmicks, and no get rich quick schemes (they don't work!!!!). Just repeatable principles. This Tuesday Feb 17th at 7ET on zoom, I’m hosting a FREE Wealthy Barber Book Club to teach those same lessons again, only this time for grown-ups with real paycheques and real financial stress. If you make good money but it still feels chaotic… This is your last chance to join us. Register here to join the fun. Some lessons are worth learning once. Some are worth revisiting when the stakes are higher. – Ms. Cole (but you can still call me Angie 😉) |

Reader, I learned something this week that made me immediately log into my CRA account. Apparently Canadians are currently sitting on more than $2 BILLION in uncashed federal cheques. Yes… billion. With a B. But make it TWO!!!! Nearly 4 million cheques from the federal government have never been cashed (worth about $2.16 billion). And some of the biggest buckets of that money are: • $391 million in tax refunds• $387 million in GST returns for small-business owners• $141 million in Canada...
Reader, I'm angry today. This week our mortgage renewal paperwork showed up for our investment property. This is after two months of trying to get ahold of our advisor at Scotiabank… who apparently retired, but whose email and phone system are still very much alive and accepting messages. None of which have been returned. 🤦♀️ And honestly, the way this whole thing has been handled proves a point I've been yelling about for 20 years: The bank is NOT your friend. If you want all the details of...
Yesterday my daughter turned 15. HOW IS SHE 15?????? And I was a mess. How does that even happen? (I swear she was just starting kindergarten.) Here’s something not a lot of people know. One of the reasons I left teaching (yes, even with the summers off), was the lack of flexibility during the year. If she had an appointment?Hubby had to cover it. Or I burned a sick day. If something important happened during the day?I missed it. If she needed me?She had to wait until after hours. I didn’t...
