Earlier this month, I shared CBC’s request for your questions for The Bottom Line panel on The National with Peter Mansbridge. A few weeks ago, we answered them. There were lots of great questions, and lots of great answers from Patti Croft, Amanda Lang, and Jim Stanford. I threw in a few satisfactory answers here and there too.
There was a televised segment, and then a web extra (since there were so many questions). What you didn’t see in the web extra, was Peter walking away from the table after I made a certain comment about “the danger of using averages”. Specifically, of the four panelists, “on average” we have half a penis – but that clearly doesn’t tell you the whole story. This was in reference to young versus older Canadians comparing their personal debt-to-income ratios to the now 163%+ national average.

Definitely adult material – funny stuff.
Nice response to Mr. Alan Whitton from Ottawa :)
Happy New Year Preet!

Happy New Year Mark! See you Ottawa boys soon.
Good panel, Preet! I liked the answer you gave about increasing your rate of savings rather than focusing on your rate of return. I get asked that question a lot and that’s the answer I give as well.
Amanda is awesome. Can you get me an autographed copy of her book :)
Thanks Robb – I believe she charges for autographs. No, wait. That’s Kevin.
Well… I for one hate the banks.
