Julie Shipley-Strickland Wealth & Risk Management’s Post

This week marked another year without my dad, Gord. As many of you know, I credit him for getting me into this industry and I see his influence in my career every day. ❤️ I miss him dearly and think about how much fun Av and Nate would have with him if he were still here. I wish they could’ve hung out together more. Love you dad. #wealthwithjulie #wealthadvisor #family

A love letter to October. 💌 #october #fall #wordsofwisdom

I've talked about the Tax-Free Savings Account before, but do you know what happens when you overcontribute to your account? I've broken it down for you here. 💭

Holiday cooking coming in hot—with my @lecreuset of course. I got this pot for my wedding 18 years ago, and every time I use it, I'm still amazed that I'm still able to do so today. Similar to my espresso machine, this is a 10/10 splurge vs save. Although Le Creuset dutch ovens can feel pricey, after 18 years, it's definitely paid itself off. 😎 We love cooking risotto in it, but also anything that has to go from stove to oven. It's amazing! Do you have one? If so, how long have you had it for? #splurgeandsave #weddinggift #lecreuset

This month, for our 12 Months of Giving donation, we're donating to Firefighters Assistance Charitable Society on behalf of team member, Tori! Having such a demanding job can take a toll on those in service, and this organization ensures that firefighters and their families have the support that they need at all times. 🖤 You can learn more about this inspiring non-profit by visiting their website via the link below. https://lnkd.in/gbcDrc_Z #wealthmanagement #12monthsofgiving #nonprofit

For all of you parents out there, especially those with smaller kiddos, I know we fall into the same boat of asking them, "how do you possibly go through clothes so fast?!" It's an ongoing struggle. Since the kids have started school, I thought it'd be fun to look at fall fashion for my splurge vs save this month. Ultimately, even though the kids grow quickly, I still see great value in choosing clothing pieces that are higher quality and better made than things from fast fashion stores. My go-to? @minimioche is amazing for kids clothes, and I always grab stuff from here for Nate (because boys are notoriously hard on their clothes!) 🫠 Their pieces are also sustainably and ethically made, so a win-win-win! #sustainablefashion #backtoschool #shopping

Oh YUL, how I miss you. 💋 Lucky for me, I'm able to go back to Montreal a couple of times a year to catch up with family and check out my favourite local spots. Recently, I had the chance to go back for two occasions—on my way home from the Azores for a Wellington-Altus conference and just this month for my brother Bryan's wedding. Every trip is just as memorable as the last, and today, I'm sharing some of the spots that are on my to-visit list all the time (some old and some new). Check out the link below for the full recommendation list! https://lnkd.in/gYktSzR6 #visitmontreal #exploremontreal #wellingtonaltus

September marks the return to routine, and while we all love summer, it feels good to get back to your everyday workouts and expectations. 🙌🏼 I know that now that I’m back in Calgary, I’ll be squeezing in lots of Rumble Boxing and Barrys, but also Melissa Wood Health and The Rare Method. Looking for a fresh new workout this season? I got’chu - link below. https://lnkd.in/gtN3DYia #workout #calgarylifestyle #wealthwithjulie

And that's on life. 💭 Always remember to have fun, no matter what you're doing! Whether you're learning something new at work or pursuing a recent hobby, don't take yourself too seriously. #kamalaharris #inspirational #wordsofwisdom

Did you have a chance to check out my latest article published by Globe Advisor?
