It’s a long holiday weekend in both the United States (July 4th, Independence Day) and in Canada (July 1st, Canada Day). The weather has heated up around the country, and you can expect many neighborhoods to be filled with the aroma of food cooking on a grill. Block parties, parades, and good food are synonymous with this weekend.
While you are out enjoying the long weekend, be sure to keep tabs on your finances. If you come inside to get out of the heat (or away from the mosquitoes!) for a moment, check out these great articles from the past week:
