Come on Canada: Save two more percent and clobber Austria

If it was a game of hockey we’d bury the Austrians by about 20 goals and hang them out to dry.

But when it comes to saving money they beat us by a titch.

[titch: def’n - the smallest of wee bits, in the same league as eensy- weensy]

I read this morning:

“Austrians come in first when it comes to saving the same amount or more during the last six months, with 78 per cent of people reporting doing so. Canadians come in second at 77.”


So, forget the Timmies and new Blueberry Dip do-nut for the next six months (come on, miracles can happen), put your loonies in a jar (or under the mattress, whatever works for you) and aim for 79 per cent.

We’ll come out of the recession - eventually - with money in the bank and fewer pounds on the waistline.

Win-win, eh!
