Home Equity Loans in Alberta

Want a shocking statistic?

By 2:30 on Monday morning some of the top CEOs in the country had made more money than the average Canadian will make in a year. Fact!

Think about that. You hadn’t even finished your first day back at the job and already these chief executives had grossed more than your yearly salary. Chances are they probably skipped lunch and worked Christmas and New Years, but at the end of the day, their earnings are more than 155 times what the average Canadian pulls in.

What are they doing that you’re not? We can guarantee they are not doing more physically demanding work. They are just being smarter with the time and resources at their command.

The top five CEOs were:

1. Aaron Regent – Barrick Gold Corp

2. Hunter Harrison – Canadian National Railway Co. (bit of a surprise there…)

3. Gerald Schwartz – Onex Corp.

4. Edmund Clark – Toronto Dominion Bank

5. Nadir Mohamed -Rogers Communications Inc.

But who is to say you don’t belong in that top tier. Are you lacking the education? Do you need start-up resources? Is it all who you know?

Interesting questions. The latter we can’t help you with but the two former points can be attained through a second mortgage. By using you home as equity, you can acquire the resources you need to educate yourself and fund your own private empire. Impress the right people and one of these top jobs could be yours.
