Money terms, explained simply

Every money word you'll meet in the courses and tools — each one defined in a single plain sentence, usually with a real example. No finance degree required. Start typing to find a term, or browse by topic.

Canadian and U.S. accounts are both listed and clearly labelled. Yearly contribution limits shown are for 2026 and are set each year by the CRA (Canada) or IRS (U.S.).

No terms match that search. Try a shorter word, or clear the search to browse everything.
