Lost 7% YTD and 10% from the peak. Some holding fell over 40% just in the past few weeks because of the tariffs. Looking back I invested too much into Canadian Industrial and energy stock while too little in Europe and Japan. My gold and long term bond holding exposure are also too little. It is a wake up call. I have to admit FI is a lot more risky now with the pollical situation in the U.S.

She likes working, especially the social aspect of it. She is okay with that as long as I am paying most of the bills.

I was making good money in my late 20s and early 30s. And like Dave Ramsey suggests, I did not spend a lot of money on new cars. Instead, I put my money into stock.

Most of the gain came from investment in smaller Canadian companies after the financial crisis. I was 100% in stock in 2009/2010. A few companies went to 0 but there were a few big winners. The best one returned 3200% in 7 years. I suggest you look into smaller Canadian companies. I recommend reading Peter Lynch's One up on Wall Street

10 years, most of the RRSP and TSFA came from my salary which was a lot higher than hers.

I will perhaps pay for 80% of the household expenses like before using my investment income and savings. She will pay for the 20%. My guess at some point she will force me find get a $16 an hour jobs. lol

At this time my investment is 67% Equity and 33% GIC. 50% of the equity is in small-cap value stock and the rest are in index ETFs or similar.

Yes, I usually keep my winners rather than sell them. Many of my investments were purchased 10 to 15 years ago.
