If you carry $5,000 on a credit card at around 20% interest, keeping that balance can cost roughly $1,000 a year. Making the minimum payment may keep your account in good standing, but it does not mean you are paying the debt off.

Doug Hoyes and Ted Michalos explain what it means to pay a credit card in full, the difference between your statement balance and current balance, and why a card changes from a convenient payment tool into an expensive loan when you carry a balance. They look at the cost of interest, how minimum payments stretch repayment, and why a balance carried month after month can signal a cash flow problem.

They also discuss the Bank of Canada's findings on Canadians who carry balances, when consolidation can help, and practical steps to take if you cannot pay your statement balance.

They provide tips to manage your credit cards like checking your card statement for the minimum payment repayment estimate, then using a repayment calculator to see what a fixed higher payment would change.

The key takeaway: if you can't pay your statement balance this month, don't just ask how you'll make the minimum payment. Ask what has to change so you can pay in full in the future. If there isn't a clear answer, that's the problem worth solving.

Debt Free in 30 is hosted by Licensed Insolvency Trustees Doug Hoyes and Ted Michalos of Hoyes Michalos.

CKMS News -2026-10-02- Uptown Waterloo neighbourhood associations engaging neighbours through all candidate meetings

by: dan kellar
Waterloo, ON –

As the municipal election heats up, a coalition of neighbourhood associations have teamed up to host two all candidate meetings for their electoral wards. According to a press release from the group, a goal of the events is to engage neighbours because “the people elected to local and regional office make decisions that directly affect our daily lives”

In a press release, Ann Liebau of the Uptown West Neighbourhood Association said “You don’t have to be a political junkie to care about your neighbourhood. If you care about your street, your park, your library, your water, you have a stake in this election. Rather than complaining about City Hall later, it’s far more productive to show up now and ask the candidates what they’re going to do.”

The first meeting, on Sunday October 4 from 6-8 pm, will focus on the five candidates seeking to become Mayor of Waterloo. The second meeting, on Wednesday October 7 from 7-9 pm, has two parts: first the seven candidates vying for Waterloo’s two seats on Regional Council, then the two people who want to represent Uptown Ward 7 on Waterloo City Council.  Both events are happening in the Community Pavilion at the Waterloo Memorial Recreation Complex.

This show features an interview with Daisy Arseneault , the chair of the Uptown North neighbourhood Association.

Hello Radio Waterloo listeners:

There have been some scam e-mails circulating to people, offering to have them as a guest on a Radio Waterloo show and to provide them with a copy of the recording, a “high-quality, professional asset to share across your newsletter, use for promotional reels, or slice into short social media clips” in exchange for “a modest broadcast production fee.”

Radio Waterloo and its show hosts neither pay nor take payment from their guests, and never charge their guests a production fee.

In particular, the show Readers Delight with host Suzanne Craig-Whytock does not charge its guests. Readers Delight is booked up until the summer of 2027, and Suzanne is not accepting new interview requests.

Please be careful out there, and don’t get caught.

–The Radio Waterloo Board of Directors.

Torq’d Podcast: Laracon US 2026 Boston Recap, AI Workflows, and Community Events

Dan Soppelsa hosts the Torq’d podcast with coworkers Chris Lemon and Joe Racz, introducing a “liked, learned, lacked” reflection segment focused largely on AI’s impact: Chris likes building mobile apps with NativePHP, learned to build a Kotlin/Swift plugin with Claude, and notes AI increases workload and organization needs; Dan likes Claude Code Artifacts for turning plans and explanations into shareable interactive HTML, but worries AI-generated code can weaken developers’ mental models; Joe uses AI to reduce decision paralysis and for design/feedback, but found it easy to overinvest in optional work. They share upcoming community events (GPUG monthly, KWJS monthly, Laravel Worldwide Meetup, Laravel Toronto, London ON Laravel, and Longhorn PHP where Dan and Chris will speak). The main topic is Laracon US 2026 in Boston, including Laraprom, the industrial venue, the after-party, and “Ship or Die” pitches where Chris presented his Collect Shine smart record-shelf concept and received Laravel Cloud credits.

There is a lot to unpack when it comes to skin cancer and preventative measures against it. It's a huge and complicated topic that I think has sometimes been oversimplified to the point where the messages have become problematic... This podcast will give you a 101 on skin cancer, to hopefully help you cut through the noise. This is a roundtable convo, featuring skin cancer researchers David Whiteman PhD and Ade Adamson MD - both of whom are doing some big work in this research area and towards sound health policy to address skin cancer.

Covered in this episode: what is skin cancer? how does it happen and how does that vary depending on the cancer and person? how do we prevent skincancer, and how may that vary? what should people know? why are public health guidelines different for this stuff? and lots more!

Welcome to a five-episode special series built around the first Annual Review of Psychology chapter on wisdom since 2011.

Episode 1: Exemplars and Narratives (with Cristine Legare, Dan McAdams, and L.A. Paul)

When we face life challenges, where do our ideas about wise judgment, or even wisdom writ large come from, and how do they shape the way we work through such challenges and live thereafter? Cristine Legare, Dan McAdams, and L.A. Paul join Igor and Charles to explore the stories, proverbs, and exemplars we inherit, and what happens when they don't quite fit the situation in front of us. Cristine reveals why the ideas that stick with us aren't necessarily the ones that are true, Dan explores how the stories we tell about ourselves can help us navigate uncertainty (or trap us in the wrong story), and Laurie asks who (or what) is doing the choosing, if we can’t know in advance how a life-changing decision will transform us?

Special Guests: Cristine Legare, Dan McAdams, and L.A. Paul.

What does it really mean when you max out your credit card?

A maxed-out card may look like a credit problem, but often the real issue is cash flow: you're spending more each month than you have available, and credit is filling the gap. Take our free online course: Hoyes Michalos Credit Rebuilding Course

Doug Hoyes and Ted Michalos explain what happens when you hit your credit limit, how maxed-out cards affect your credit utilization and borrowing options, and why simply asking for a higher limit may make the underlying problem worse.

They discuss:

• What happens when you max out a credit card

• How high credit utilization affects your credit

• The cost of making only minimum payments

• Why you may have reached your credit limit

• When a one-time expense is different from an ongoing cash-flow shortfall

• When increasing your credit limit can make sense, and when it can lead to more debt

• The risks of moving balances between credit cards

• How to take inventory of your debts, income and monthly expenses

• When cutting expenses may not be enough to solve the problem

• What options are available when you simply can't afford your debt payments

The key takeaway: hitting your credit limit isn't something to solve automatically by borrowing more. Look at why you reached the limit and whether your total debt is growing. A higher credit limit gives you more room to borrow, but it doesn't give you more income to repay what you owe. Learn more about licensed debt relief options available in Ontario at www.hoyes.com, and the Hoyes Michalos YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@hoyesmichalos

JAM with Zogho: Keeping the Music Alive — The Journey, The Struggle & The Culture

Friday, September 25 | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | CKMS 102.7 FM

What does it really take to keep the music alive?

This week on JAM with Zogho, MC Zogho sits down with Monty from Monty and the Crew Band for a conversation that goes beyond the stage and into the real journey behind making and sustaining music.

Music is more than entertainment. It carries memories, identity, stories, emotions and culture from one generation to the next. But behind every performance is a journey — the work, the sacrifice, the setbacks, the relationships, the uncertainty and the determination to keep creating.

In “Keeping the Music Alive: The Journey, The Struggle & The Culture,” MC Zogho and Monty explore what it means to remain committed to music while navigating the realities of life.

♦ The Journey — What keeps you moving forward as a musician?

♦ The Struggle — How do you keep creating when things don’t always go according to plan?

♦ The Culture — How does music preserve where we come from while allowing us to create something new?

♦ The Community — What happens when musicians come together and build something bigger than themselves?

And perhaps the biggest question of all:

Why do we keep doing it?

Whether you’re a musician, a creative, a music lover, or simply someone who has something inside of you that you’re determined not to let die, this conversation is for you.

Tune in as JAM with Zogho connects music, mindset and culture through an honest conversation about the people behind the sound.
