BIG LIFE CHANGE

I've been FI (Financially Independent) for awhile but not RE (Retired Early) or FIRE 🔥

Despite earning a very healthy multiple six figure salary, I've given it up. 💰

With 50 just a few years away, I've stepped away from work to pursue other passions that the proverbial 4 weeks of paid vacation a year can't satisfy.

Does that mean I won't ever earn another dollar from work in the future, such as consulting? Not necessarily.

I look forward to more time for family and friends, more time for travel, more time for my health, cycling, hiking, and yes, pickleball among other passions. ✈️🚴‍♂️🏓🏋️👪

After wrapping up time at my home in Mexico 🇲🇽 this winter, I have a solo cycling trip planned for the Spring back home 🇨🇦, and cycling adventures in the Netherlands 🇳🇱and Germany 🇩🇪this summer, not to mention adventures in Asia this fall. 🇯🇵

Thank you to everyone that has been and continues to be a source of encouragement and support as we all strive to live out our best lives. ❤️

@compliantvc You don’t get to determine how someone spends their money. Thinking you can is more immoral than anything @elonmusk has spent his money on ever.

@morganArseCan @wealthmoose Let the auto industry die in Canada. Australia did the same thing. Focus on our comparative advantages for which auto production is not one of them. @UniforTheUnion

@skarface789 @wealthmoose I have so many friends like this. I point this stuff out and they tell me in quite agitated ways not to bring up politics.

@BuildItWithTj @wealthmoose And I thought @MarkJCarney was this great economist with pivotal experience as a central banker?

Dude doesn’t know basic economics!

@SlykhuisJoshua Bingo. A nation of net takers who will only ever vote to take more money from an ever declining portion of net contributors.

@mark_slapinski @DavidWi86729989 You sound so objective. I guess they didn’t teach you this in journalism school.

@BoomerDivvies If you’re a Boomer aren’t you nearing mandatory RRSP withdrawals?

Total return, last five years:

- Rogers $RCI.B: -4.1%
- Telus $T.TO: -20.6%
- BCE $BCE.TO -26.5%
- Quebecor: $QBR.B: 151.5%

Turns out there was money to be made in Canadian telecom, just from the most unlikely source.

@myownadvisor @Tawcan @CDInewsletter @DividendGrowth @genymoneyca @BoomerDivvies @HennigarRd @thedave2006 @BrandonWealth I am. Bonds are at about 2% of my total liquid net worth. They are a holdover of long-term Canadian bonds from an earlier investing period.

My crypto holdings represent a mere 0.06% of my total net worth.

It is a rounding error that has virtually zero impact on my financial trajectory.

How much #crypto are you holding?
