a new year, a new place?

Here we are, already well into the second month of 2013. Perhaps some of your New Year’s resolutions may have already

been forgotten, but if finding a new place is still top-of-mind, we hope you’ll find this magazine helpful.

This issue offers a special focus on where to go to get tips on renting as well as resources to source - all from the experts at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

As you go about your search and visit potential locations, be sure to get a feel for each company and the staff. You should be comfortable and courteous asking questions and in turn you should expect to be treated with consideration and respect. Think twice about any property management company that doesn’t willingly provide any information you respectfully request.

Putting the customer first and offering the best quality rental space for your money is a property management company’s ultimate goal. Once you find the perfect space, don’t hesitate in going for it and making it your own. Hopefully it is one of the easier resolutions you may have on your list this year.

Let us know how your search for a new home goes. We’d love to hear from you.

don’t be taken by surprise when you move into your new apartment! Do your research first and make sure your needs are being met at your new home.

There are plenty of little things you should check out before you sign your lease. Don’t just assume that parking or utilities are included – ask. Don’t just guess that there’s a bus somewhere close by – check. And don’t just assume that you’ve lucked into a great property management company – do your homework. Find out if they’ve got any awards or certifications too.

Other unfortunate surprises include furniture that won’t fit. While an apartment may seem spacious, you should take actual measurements to ensure. Often the configuration of a space can pose a challenge to placing furniture because of windows, doors, the room shape or the location of the cable outlet. You don’t want to find out on moving day that your couch can’t come with you or that you need to downsize from a king mattress to a double.

If you’re not familiar with the neighbourhood, take a walk or a drive. See what’s in the community and where the amenities that you really need are located. Not good to be more than a short walk to the bus if you rely on public transit, and you might want to see where your child’s school is, how far the park is or how close the grocery is, so that there are no surprises!

With Renters Guide in hand you’ll find that perfect place. Our magazine and website, homeTRADER.ca, offer the best selection of available apartments as well as informative articles and advice, making it easy to make your move!

Whether you are a first-time renter or a long-time tenant,

there are many important decisions to make when evaluating potential rental accommodations. To help make these decisions easier, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) offers a number of resources, including worksheets and helpful hints, to help you make responsible and informed rental decisions.

Starting with tips for getting started and identifying rental needs, to evaluating rental options and meeting a landlord, to signing rental agreements and paying rental deposits, CMHC’s resources support renters throughout all stages of the rental process.

CMHC also offers resources designed specifically for recent immigrants to Canada in eight different languages. Renting in Canada: What Newcomers Need to Know includes a variety of relevant and appropriate tools, products and resources to make finding safe and affordable housing easier.

Taking the time to plan and determine what you need and how much you can afford will make the overall rental experience less stressful and the outcome more satisfying. In the planning stage, it is important to identify things like the number of bedrooms and location requirements, establish a budget and evaluate an apartment’s affordability.

CMHC

Renting a Home? CMHC Offers a Range of Tips and Resources

The tenant-landlord relationship is one of shared responsibility and CMHC’s resources provide guidance on the responsibilities of both. They also offer advice on dealing with issues such as regular and emergency repairs, rent increases and payment difficulties.

Because the law governing landlords and tenants in Canada varies among the different provinces and territories, CMHC also offers Provincial and Territorial Fact Sheets that include province-specific information.

Finally, moving can be a hectic time with a varied checklist of tasks. Once

you have chosen a place to live, CMHC’s tools for renters provide helpful tips on selecting reputable movers as well as reminders to transfer or close your service accounts at your existing residence and arrange for services at your new home.

For more than 65 years, CMHC has shared a wealth of knowledge and housing expertise, as well as useful tools and guidance, to help Canadians enjoy an informed and assured housing experience. To consult or download copies of CMHC’s resources for renting a home visit www.cmhc.ca.

and invite your family and friends. Go with a theme that symbolizes freedom and responsibilities and send your child off with practical gifts like a basic cook-book, a box of laundry detergent, grocery store gift cards and tableware.

2 Cultivate an adult relationship Establish a weekly check-in routine with each other. Stay in touch by email,

3 Fill the void and rediscover your passions Parents often give up some interests to be available to their children. Now is

the time to throw yourself into those hobbies and activities again. Join a book club, learn a new language, volunteer, or sponsor a child through a non-profit organization like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfcanada.ca). In fact there are many organizations where you can help bring hope and lasting change to children who need it most.

From Boomers to millennials: How an era can shape financial planning habits

tD Canada trust and psychology professor Dr. J Bruce morton explore generational attitudes towards savings, offer advice to all ages

quicktips

spenDers anD savers oF all ages Can point to specific social and economic factors that shape their generation’s views on financial planning and saving for retirement. Each generation, from Boomers to Gen X to Millennials, have specific attitudes towards money and saving influenced by when they grew up and the realities of their lifestage.

John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust, and Dr. J Bruce Morton, Department of Psychology, Western University Canada, take a look at the influences on Millennials, Gen Xers and Boomers’ approach to saving for the future in order to give Canadians the insight they need to make smart financial decisions at any age.

“Understanding what motivates your generation to save can help identify useful financial planning strategies for each stage of your life,” says John Tracy, senior vice president, TD Canada Trust. “Regardless of your life stage,

knowing how much you will need to retire is essential to managing your money and being prepared financially for the future. A financial advisor can help determine what your numbers look like, work with you to create a plan, and make adjustments as your needs and lifestyle change.”

According to Dr. Morton, saving for the future touches on a fundamental trade-off in human decision making, namely balancing the opportunity for small immediate rewards with an interest in larger long-term benefits. How each of us balances this trade-off depends in part on values, priorities and motivations, which to a large extent are influenced by the world we grew up in. “While every person makes decisions based on what makes the most sense from their vantage point - specifically how to maximize gains and minimize losses - what seems reasonable to some individuals may not be reasonable to others,” says Dr. Morton. “This decision-making process is influenced by the generation to which we belong, and the corresponding cultural and economic factors that make the future appear differently to us.”

Millennials (1982-1999)Research from TD Canada Trust shows that 65% of Millennials continually feel they are spending too much

money (versus 56% of Gen X and 44% of Boomers). They are also the most likely to feel there is more they need to know about the savings and investment options available to them (55% versus 51% of Gen X and 45% of Boomers).

“Perhaps the defining factor for the Millennial generation is persistent economic uncertainty,” says Dr. Morton. “Faced with job market challenges and an uncertain economy, Millennials may find it difficult to envision a concrete future, making saving for the long-term seem less reasonable.”

For Millennials who feel it will be difficult to save money, Tracy recommends setting up an automated savings plan that invests a set amount at regular intervals into an RSP. Contribution amounts can start small and increase as income grows.

“While retirement may feel far away for Millennials, it’s important to acknowledge that it’s inevitable,” says Tracy. “With time on your side, saving even a little regularly can add up, while allowing you to take advantage of compound interest.”

Gen X (1965-1981)Of the generations surveyed, Gen X had the most competing financial priorities, with saving for retirement (55%), paying off their mortgage (44%), paying off loans (38%), paying down credit card debt (37%) and creating an emergency savings fund (37%) topping the list. With so many priorities, it’s not surprising that 70% continually feel they are not saving enough.

“Gen X individuals grew up during a period of unprecedented economic transformation marked by greater fluidity in the job market and the elimination of mandatory retirement. These larger economic forces have led to a shift away from traditional notions of career and retirement,” says Dr. Morton. “As a result, many Gen Xers anticipate working well into traditional retirement years, undermining the incentive to save for the long-term.”

Compared to other generations, Tracy adds, Gen Xers often have an abundance of competing financial priorities, making it challenging to carve out money for retirement savings. Even though Gen Xers may feel the need to postpone retirement, it’s important to contribute regularly during peak income earning years to build a comfortable nest-egg for retirement - whenever it may start.

“As a general rule, Gen Xers should aim to save enough to have 60% to 80% of their annual working income per year to live on during retirement if they don’t want to change their lifestyle,” advises Tracy. “If more needs to be saved, be diligent about finding ways to cut back on other expenses, as even a modest increase to retirement savings can add up.”

Boomers (1946-1964)While eight-in-10 Boomers (79%) feel confident they are managing their money well, the majority are still worried about having enough money (56%).

“As part of the post-war generation, Boomers were not only influenced by parents who survived the Great Depression, but many have also enjoyed economic affluence and employment stability throughout their career, making saving for both the short and long-term appear sensible,” says Dr. Morton.

Tracy recommends Boomers first assess how much they will need in retirement to maintain the lifestyle they want. With this in mind, engage a financial advisor and work backward to develop a realistic plan that includes lowering or eliminating debt prior to retirement to free-up income during this stage in your life.

“As a Boomer, even if saving for the future is a top priority, it’s equally important to know how much you realistically need to save and whether you are on track to reach your goal,” says Tracy. “Compare your goal to the income you will have from your current savings to determine how much more you need to save.”

The total sample was weighted by age, gender and region to be proportionately representative of the Canadian population who are 25 years of age and older. Responses were collected between December 5 and 11, 2012.

Pause, then plan, if overwhelmed by money

Worrying too much about money may be hazardous to your health. A recent study in North America found that people with high

levels of debt-related stress are more likely to experience physical and mental health problems, such as heart attacks, high blood pressure, ulcers, insomnia, migraines, anxiety or depression, than those with low debt-related stress.

“The impact of financial stress can be felt well beyond your wallet, but it

shouldn’t take over your life,” said Tom Hamza, president of Investor

Education Fund (IEF), Canada’s leading authority on financial literacy

education and research. “The key to conquering money worries is to take

action. Even small changes to your financial habits can make a big difference

in the long run.”

IEF oFFErs thrEE tIps For copIng wIth monEy strEss:

• Assessyoursituation.Takestockof your financial situation, identify what’s causing the stress and make a plan to address it. For example, if you’re overspending every month, use IEF’s budget worksheet to help you account for all expenses and find areas where you can cut back. In addition, if you’re weighed down by debt, use IEF’s pay off credit cards and debt calculator to prioritize which debts to pay off first.

• Gethelp.Afinancialadvisorcanhelp provide some perspective and expertise to help you get back on track and feel more in control of your financial situation. Learn how to choose an advisor, and review the eight questions to ask in the “Gettingadvice”sectionofIEF’swebsite.

• Keepyoureyesontheprize.Asyoumake progress toward your goal, find small ways to reward yourself and stay motivated. Think cheap and cheerful – buy yourself flowers or do something healthy (and free) to take your mind off the stress.

LesLie styLes, foodie & traveL aficionado, shares some deLicious dishes found on her traveLs around the worLd.

GinGerbread appLe upside-down cake

Topping:› 4 tbsp butter, plus extra

for greasing pan› 1/2 cup dark brown

sugar› Pinch of salt› 4 large Golden Delicious

apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges

Batter:› 1/2 cup butter, at room

temperature

› 1/2 cup sugar› 1 large egg› 1/3 cup dark molasses› 1/3 cup honey› 1 cup buttermilk› 1 tsp vanilla› 2 1/4 cups flour› 1 tsp baking soda› 1/2 tsp salt› 1 tsp ground ginger› 1 tsp cinnamon

› 1/2 tsp freshly ground nutmeg

Calvados whipped cream:› 1/2 cup whipping cream,

chilled› 1 tsp maple syrup› 1 tsp Calvados

ingredients serves 12

directions

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease a 10-inch cake pan. To make the topping, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan. Add the brown sugar and simmer over medium heat, stirring for five minutes, then swirl in the salt. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into the cake pan, spreading with a spatula to distribute evenly. Make circles of overlapping apple slices on top of the brown sugar. Chop any remaining slices and place them in the gaps.

For the batter, blend 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar in a standing mixer set on medium-low, then increase the speed to high and cream until the batter becomes light and fluffy.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, molasses, honey, buttermilk and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Alternate adding the egg mixture and the flour mixture to the creamed butter-sugar mixture, then pour the batter into the cake pan.

Bake at least 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges of pan to loosen the cake, then place a serving platter over the cake and invert onto the platter.

Serve warm or at room temperature with very softly whipped Calvados Whipped Cream, made by whisking the cream with the syrup and Calvados in an electric mixer until cream holds soft peaks.

this delectably moist gingerbread-spiced caramelized apple upside-down cake is the perfect dessert for the chilly autumn and winter months. Dark, coppery and intensely flavoured, this delicious cake is

made with dark molasses, honey, buttermilk and a trio of fragrant spices, and goes perfectly with a dollop of pillowy soft Calvados Whipped Cream or tangy creme fraiche. As tempting as it may be, don’t use a springform pan with a removable bottom, as the syrup will leak out and that would be very messy as well as being enormously tragic.
