The repeated advice in financial spaces tells people to save, but this directive becomes harder to achieve with a lack of financial education and increased living expenses.

On episode #457 of “Let’s Talk Money with Dave and Reb”, the hosts explore using the workplace to create emergency savings that produces a stress free environment at work, as well as help Canadians to prepare for unexpected financial strain.
