No signups. No sales energy. Just clear trade-offs using your real numbers.

For example: see whether an extra $350/month works better as mortgage prepayment, RESP savings, or investing.

Start here

Pick the decision you’re facing right now.

You don’t need a full financial overhaul. Choose one area — Homes, Investing, or Personal Finance — and start with a tool that gives you clarity in minutes.

Most common starting points

Start with the calculator that matches what you’re thinking about.

Most families begin with one question — and end with a clearer plan.

How it works

Three small steps to clearer financial decisions.

No financial overhaul. No “perfect plan.” Just clarity, one question at a time.

1

Start with what’s actually bothering you

Not “financial planning.” Just one real question — like whether extra mortgage payments beat investing, or how much RESP savings is enough.

2

Use your real numbers

Your income. Your balances. Your timeline. No industry averages or sales-driven assumptions.

3

See trade-offs clearly

Understand what changes — and what doesn’t — before you decide. Everything updates in one calm, understandable view.

Who it’s for

If you’re not ultra-wealthy, not in crisis — but want to be intentional — you’re in the right place.

FinForFam is built for Canadian households with a mortgage, some savings, maybe investments — and a desire to make smarter decisions with what they already have.

Young families with a mortgage

See how extra payments change your payoff timeline and interest cost — and whether investing might make more sense.

Parents planning for school

Understand what steady RESP contributions could realistically grow into — without fear-based rules or pressure.

Couples thinking long-term

Explore how RRSP contributions add up over time and how they fit alongside mortgage, TFSA, RESP, and everyday life.

A calm note

Each tool works on its own — but they’re designed to work better together. Start with one question, then come back when the next one shows up.
