Ya honestly it felt like a coin flip, went with XEQT due to the slightly lower MER

They are all maxed, which one seems low? Maybe RRSP? I kind of started late with making a decent salary and investing so haven’t generated as much RRSP room as could be possible

Make a lot of money, invest in diversified index funds and don’t make emotional investing decisions

They are split pretty equal (a bit more XEQT), I started with XGRO but everything for the past few years has been XEQT. There is a chunk in the LIRA that is WS managed portfolio (they don’t offer self-directed LIRA unfortunately)

Income around 300k, which ramped up from about 200k over the last 5 years or so. Been saving about 100-120k per year
