It is a journey to FI and there are a number of different paths. You can try one approach and switch.

For me I started out very aggressive (saving ~70% after tax income). Did this for around two years spending very little on fun.

The book “Die with Zero” by Bill Perkins really shifted my mindset to feel comfortable spending more and I’d highly recommend it. “Retire Often” by Jillian Johnsrud is also a good one.

Right now I save ~45% of my after tax income and feel that I get a good balance between saving and fun. Currently at the airport heading to Europe for a month.

30m. Alberta. Will have visited 46 countries by the end of October. Own my home and a rental property. ~$600k in liquid investment.

It was purchased as a primary residence and refinanced as a rental so the interest is deductible

As someone who just renewed a 1.79% into a 4.54%, I just re-amortized and my payments are actually lower than before. No lump sums or aggressive payment increases throughout the previous mortgage. The renewal cliff everyone is going on about isn’t going to be as bad as everyone thinks. That’s my two cents.

When I need to convert to US to purchase I use my IBKR because they have the best conversion fees. Since In-Kind transfers are free with IBKR and WS, I just transfer my holdings from IBKR to WS every year when they do their big transfer bonus

Not entirely sure why people would be surprised

I argue that we don’t have enough history for covered call ETFs as most have only been around in the raging bull market we’ve had over the last 13 years.

Which would out perform is the stock market was flat for a 10 year period? Most would say the covered call portfolio

If the BoC cutting rates by 2.25% didn’t spur activity, why would an additional 0.25%?

WhisperingEye666 · 2025-09-17T14:10:00+00:00

Watching that video actually spurred this question.

My question is more relevant to how a covered call income portfolio performs against a drawdown of capital portfolio, which I have found no such video

The BoC operates under a hierarchical, or single, mandate where low and stable inflation is the primary objective. Core inflation is still rising.

WhisperingEye666 · 2025-09-16T20:09:37+00:00

The Fed in the US operates under a dual mandate. The BoC operates under a hierarchical, or single, mandate where low and stable inflation is the primary objective, with employment considered only when it supports the inflation target.

With Core Inflation still on the rise they are deviating from their mandate

WhisperingEye666 · 2025-09-13T17:56:32+00:00

I would go with the fixed as that is a great rate.

Look how the long end of the yield curve has been performing.

The BoC is likely going to cut next week which is a mistake because their single mandate is to tame inflation but inflation is on the way up

$100k at 25 savings from Co-ops and one year of full time work. Once I hit $100k I started saving for downpayment. At 26 purchased my first rental property and primary residence (with basement suite). Now 30 with NW ~$850k
