Here’s wishing all the mother’s out there a very happy mother’s day! Special thoughts are also going out to my mum this day and every other day of the year. I have not blogged much about my personal life and how it related to my views on finance, but today is a great day to share with you how my mother influenced my financial perspectives.
My mother has been the epitome of frugality and financial sensibility. The first important thing she would advice is to start consistently saving for your future. She also understands that you cannot avoid risk, but should instead strive to learn about it so that you can manage risk. When I was young, I didn’t think anything of finance until I graduated from University. All of a sudden, the things that mother harped on really made sense. Nowadays, one of the most enjoyable things that I can do with mother is to engage in discussions about financial matters and issues.
My mother did the sweetest thing prior to mother’s day. She sent me an email saying what she would like for mother’s day. She recently opened an account with ICICI bank Canada (another online bank that is becoming more popular in Canada), and encouraged my brother and I to open our old incomes. In return, she would receive a referral fee of $20 each once we deposit $100. In addition, we would also receive the $20 ourselves. That’s my mother for you - always looking for the win-win situation.
If you would like to also open a high interest savings account at ICICI bank Canada, please consider using my mother’s referral code - 2AA1F37A6B70D1! Thanks! 
When you look up unconditional love in the dictionary, you will probably see my mother’s picture beside the definition. I love you, mother and though we are 7 driving hours away, you can’t be more closer in my heart and in my thoughts.
