What does it really cost to own a home—and how can you protect your finances when life gets stressful or uncertain? On this episode of Moolala: Money Made Simple, host Bruce Sellery speaks with personal finance expert Rubina Ahmed-Haq about the hidden costs of homeownership, from closing fees and renovations to insurance, maintenance and emergency savings. NerdWallet Canada’s Clay Jarvis explains why two-thirds of Canadians surveyed admit to “doom spending” and offers practical ways to curb emotional purchases. Senior financial planner Sabiha Mukadam shares strategies for managing joint debt, cash flow and major financial decisions after a separation, while Stanford researcher Gideon Moore explores “time travelling” on LinkedIn—why job seekers rewrite old roles with new buzzwords such as AI and what it means for employers.
