Who is Uncommon Cents?
Uncommon Cents (UC) was founded by Victoria, B.C. resident Dean Costas. After being raised in Southern Ontario, Dean moved to Victoria 20 years ago where he spent about 10 years as a financial representative specializing in young families. That experience led Dean to realize that Canada requires a source of financial education that is not tied to the sales of financial products. Dean began work on Uncommon Cents in 2004 and left the financial industry in 2007 to launch the company. The teachings of Uncommon Cents are based on objective analysis instead of Dean’s personal opinions. It’s straight talk about the financial topics that you’ve often wondered about and now you have a source for that information. Additionally, Uncommon Cents operates with Dean’s belief in tuning down the marketing noise.
