         <description><![CDATA[<p>What I learned about this topic and what surprised me the most is the fact that money has a deeper meaning than what I thought it had back when I was still a kid. I really thought that money doesn't have knots and ties, but when I checked out what RRSP is and mortgage is, I was just so surprised because I was like, “I need to learn this, or it will bite me back in the future."</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>This topic is relevant to us because we all have been to situation where we have to choose a side. A real life example of this is choosing which college to go to. Durham College or Seneca College. Both are good, however, there are a few difference between both. Seneca college is close to our houses, however, Durham College provide more opportunities. In cases like this we would choose the one that provides the most opportunities than the one that is more comfortable.</p>]]></description>
