@DreamDividend I would be retired and traveling with that portfolio. Easy to keep earning while living your best life. You can trade options and collect dividends from anywhere.
@christina_yeg I can't believe anybody would be any anything but grateful to see your body. You look amazing, and great job losing all that weight. I had a similar transformation before covid. It is hard ass work!
@AdultingIsEasy I am with those who say zero. I invest all extra money. Line of credit/credit cards can cover emergencies until I sell some investments to pay it off. I keep my money working.
@DividendKingTSX With dividends re-invested you would be up, actually. Not significantly, but the last year was terrible.
Normally preferred's are flat while still earning 7.5% yield that is taxed more favorably then interest.
Not for everyone though. There is some risk.
@BridgieCasey Real-estate is about timing the market. Plus most people don't count the loan interest, property tax and repairs when they say they made whatever amount on there house.
