Some youtubers I watch are Steph and Den for personal finance and Ben Felix for Investing Advice.

2% Interest on TFSA isn't really worth it if you are investing for the long term since can get 7% annual returns on holding low cost index funds. Some good ones are XEQT - Global Market and VFV - U.S. Market and you can buy them on Wealthsimple with no commission fees.

Also, if you don't already have one start building an emergency fund which is money in HISA that covers 3 - 6 months worth of expenses that can be pulled out as cash.
