Scorgie was born in Toronto and raised in Calgary. She credits her parents for teaching her about finances and saving. She received her first allowance, a quarter, when she was three. On her 10th birthday, she purchased her first Canada Savings Bond from 100 that she received from her grand parents and decided to save nearly whatever she earned hoping to become financially successful by 25. While she was in high school, she worked at the Calgary Public Library and invested the majority of her earnings into mutual funds and stocks. When she was young, her family faced financial problems which inspired her to learn about saving. Having a job at the library helped her in reading about finance and investments. She purchased her first mutual fund at 14. According to Scorgie, she became financially literate by reading every Warren Buffett book and getting professional investment advice.
