Publisher: Makin the Bacon - I'd rather make the bacon than cook it

Hello there. My name is Karen and I’d like to welcome you to MakintheBacon. I was born in Toronto, grew up in the suburbs and now currently live in another suburb of Southwestern Ontario. This blog mainly will offer opinions and views on my personal finance experiences and personal finance topics. I don’t have a debt story or a how I got rich story. I’m just a gal trying to increase my net worth, save for my goals and be smart with my money. Although the main focus of this blog is personal finance, my life is not completely personal finance. Like most PF bloggers, I enjoy travelling. I have been to several different countries (14) and would like to visit many more in the future. I also enjoy being active and spending time at the gym (I am a part-time group exercise instructor, this is my fun job). I love to read and am a self-confessed bibliophile. I have a sweet tooth, thus I heart baking!
