6 Quebec Social Media Accounts To Follow For Inspiration If You’re Clueless About Money
Even when we're not in the middle of a pandemic, managing personal finances is tough. But several local influencer accounts are using their social media platforms to inspire Quebecers with their personal financial stories and experience in everything from stocks to couponing to budgeting.
It's important to note, as ree2mz does on her website, that these accounts aren't offering financial advice and nothing they say is meant to be a recommendation. The content they offer is based on opinion and personal research. Keep in mind that you should always do your own due diligence.
