 My name is Rhys Alexander Johnson. I am a second year finance student﻿who is currently enrolled at the Telfer School of Management in Ottawa, Ontario. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce degree with option in Finance (honours). I am currently in my second year of study and am a member of the [|uOttawa Student Investment Club (OSIC)]. OSIC aims to inform Ottawa University students about current financial markets and to offer insight into possible investment opportunities. Within this Wiki, I will outline a few cost cutting options for students who are on a budget and offer some insightful tips into saving for your future.
