COVID-19 has sent shockwaves around the world, hitting every corner of society — and our pocketbooks. So how do we get through this? And how do we limit the hit to our finances? That’s what Good Money is for. It’s a podcast brought to you by Vancity. We’re going to get practical answers to your questions, and make the world of finance understandable and relevant. We’ll demystify markets, investments, and retirement planning. We’ll delve into housing, and the growing challenge of debt. We’ll explore locally-owned business and “the real economy.” We’ll examine the global forces affecting our lives, and let you know what to expect in the weeks and months ahead. And we’ll not only talk about how to rebuild the economy, but how to make it fairer for people and better for the planet. That’s Good Money.
It’s hard to believe we’re heading into fall. When we first started the Good Money podcast, people were still attempting their first loaves of sourdough, making their first Zoom calls, and trying to figure out how to turn a kitchen table into an office and a kids’ classroom. With sky-high unemployment, a struggling economy, and parents worried about their kids’ return to school, we still have a long road to recovery ahead. So what will that recovery look like? How long will it take? What are the potential roadblocks? And how can we rebuild better? Vancity Interim President and CEO Christine Bergeron joins Good Money host Anicka Quin for a special feature interview.

The cost of COVID-19 and Canada's federal debt
The federal government offered CERB and wage subsidy to help Canadians stay home and stem the spread of the pandemic -- but at what cost? Anicka Quin speaks to Armine Yalnizyan, one of Canada's top economists, about what the federal debt means for Canadians and our recovery. Yalnizyan explains why childcare must be a critical part of the strategy to rebuild the economy. We then hear from Joe Reid, a Vancity wealth management expert, on how to manage your personal debt during the pandemic.

Caring for each other during COVID-19

In this episode of Good Money, host Anicka Quin talks to inspirational local heroes, including Avery Shannon, Chris Friesen, and Ian Marcuse, as they discuss what community really means during a crisis. They tell the stories of those who needed support, the communities that care, and what listeners can do to help.
