In this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, host Bruce Sellery digs into the money mistakes we all make and how to overcome them. Certified financial planner Hanna Horvath unpacks “friction maxxing,” the trend of intentionally making spending harder (and saving easier) to curb impulse purchases. Financial coach Alana Abramsky of Broad Money walks through seven popular budgeting methods, the traditional and zero-based budgets, 50-30-20, goals-based, pay-yourself-first, spending caps, and the envelope system, and how to find the approach that actually fits you. Equifax Canada’s Julie Kuzmic delivers a credit score reality check, explaining why recent credit history, unreported mortgages, and statement-period timing can quietly shape your score. And Larry Zelvin of BMO Financial Group reveals how criminals are using AI, from deepfakes to QR-code traps, plus practical steps to protect your money. Brought to you in part by Credit Canada.
