About The Author

Picture
Larry Wilson was born, raised and educated in Winnipeg. To the amazement of his high school teachers he completed two degrees, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (economics) and Bachelor of Commerce (honours) with distinction. Larry went on to further dumbfound those who knew him in high school by earning a number of designations, including accounting (CPA, CA), and finance & investing (CFP, CIM, and DMS).

Larry, following in the footsteps of David Chilton, won the award for the highest mark in the country on the Canadian Securities Course in 1999. Much of the prize money from the gold medal was wasted trying to improve his short-game at a local golf centre. The golf centre has since gone out of business—likely the result of many of their practice balls having been launched over the fence onto the railway tracks. Larry admits no responsibility.

After a successful career utilizing his CPA, CA credentials, Larry is uniquely placed to offer an independent, unbiased view of planning approaches and strategies. Larry has never been directly employed within the industry, rather he has studied it from the outside having read hundreds of books on all aspects of personal financial planning and earning highly respected industry designations.

Larry is now “living his dream” with his wife (Kim), two children (Kaylee and Dan), and two pets (Chester and Bun ... yes, Bun is a rabbit). Having frozen his toes on outdoor hockey rinks in Manitoba more times than can be counted, Larry continues to enjoy most of the year in Winnipeg while preferring to spend much of the winter in the gym (pre-buffet) on a ship or at all inclusive resort nearer the equator.

Larry’s sense of humour and his commitment to making financial concepts understandable contribute to a writing style that is not commonly found in the world of personal finance.

About The Book

Larry's new book, Living Your Dream, has been his labour of love over the past few years. His passion is personal financial planning and he wanted to share his knowledge and experience to help others acquire and manage wealth so that they can turn their dreams into reality. Larry has read over 300 books in this genre, and while many are very informative and well done, most are limited to covering a narrow slice of the relevant subject matter. Within Living Your Dream, Larry introduces readers to virtually all aspects of personal financial planning, while at the same time he has tried to make it an easy (think less boring) read. Where it makes sense, he references other materials allowing a more focused and deep dive into a particular subject area.

Living Your Dream will help baby boomers through Gen Z, achieve their objectives via effective financial planning and management. The book works through the financial challenges that we all face at various points in our lives and helps the reader to understand the main programs and structures to be used, and obstacles to be managed. It identifies common mistakes that are made, and offers practical insight.
​
Larry firmly believes that “we don’t know what we don’t know” and his book should provide all readers with a few “aha” moments, or at least encourage them to think differently in a variety of areas. Larry wrote this book without any agenda or biases, it is just an honest tool designed to help families achieve and live their dream.
