One immigrant's homework, shared.

Every video you see on TikTok or Instagram starts the same way: I hit a confusing rule in real life — an insurance renewal, a tax form, a weird clause in a lease — and I go down a rabbit hole. I talk to people, read the fine print, build small tools to test numbers, and then compress what I learn into something another newcomer can actually use.

This site is where those short videos turn into something deeper. Here, you'll find the full context: the assumptions behind the numbers, the trade‑offs I considered, and interactive dashboards you can play with at your own pace.

I'm not a financial advisor, accountant, lawyer, or immigration consultant. I'm a Canadian immigrant working in tech who likes clean data, clear writing, and being honest about what life here actually costs.
