@wealthy_barber Ok thanks for clarifying, I am from a small Ontario town myself and don’t invest solely in and single country. Low cost index funds XEQT and now CAGE is all I do. I purchased 3 of your books for others I just prefer to listen myself. So I have been excited for it to come out.
@wealthy_barber I am disappointed to hear that. I never thought you would bring politics into your message. As someone who only listens to books, If it wasn’t for audible I wouldn’t even know who you are and now I spread your message to everyone.
The book is at the printers! Test readers and reviewers LOVE it! Dave will go into studio to tape the audio book in two weeks. Pre-orders for the physical book may open up as soon as this week! By the way, Mo says if Dave waits another 36 years to write the next updated version, it'll probably be gibberish.

- Same tax rate at deposit and withdrawal? TFSA and RRSP are equal.
- Higher tax rate at withdrawal? TFSA wins.
- Lower tax rate at withdrawal? RRSP wins.
But there are other qualitative factors to consider.
Your portfolio consists of more than your financial assets.
It includes your human capital too.
That's the present value of your future income.
If you work in tech, for example, your human capital is tied to the tech sector.
Diversify your portfolio accordingly.
