Not A Great Year

-
TORONTO – 2013 wasn’t a great year financially for most Canadians, according to a new survey.
An Ipsos Reid survey conducted in November for Sun Life Financial found that, overall, 57 per cent of Canadians felt they were not any better off financially than they were a year ago.
Those feelings were even stronger among women and those aged 55 and older, with 61 per cent of both groups saying their financial position had not improved year over year.
On the flip side, 38 per cent of those surveyed did say their finances had improved compared with a year ago.
Albertans were most likely to say they felt better off, at 47 per cent, followed by those in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, at 45 per cent, and Atlantic Canadians at 43 per cent.
Quebecers were least likely, with 63 per cent saying their financial position was no better than a year ago.
“It’s concerning that a majority of Canadians aren’t feeling better off financially than they were last year as we head into a holiday season where we tend to spend more and save less,” Sun Life president Kevin Dougherty said of the results.

  If you want to get the old view back, here's what to do: 1. Head to Gmail's settings and go to the Inbox tab. 2. Next to "Inbox type," open the drop down and select any option besides "Default." 3. Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
