Do not transfer a single penny into your TFSA or RRSP until you watch this.
On January 1st, 2026, the CRA resets your contribution limits. While the new $7,000 TFSA limit sounds great, a specific inflation adjustment has created a "Math Trap" that could trigger a 1% monthly penalty tax on Day 1.

📚 THE STRATEGY I USE (The Simple Path to Wealth) The investing strategy I mention in this video comes from the "Bible" of index investing: The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins.

Many Canadians miss the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) deadline on December 31st, costing them $8,000 in tax-deductible room. Whether you follow a passive income strategy (like The Simple Path to Wealth) or a total market growth strategy (using ETFs like XEQT or VFV), maximizing your tax-sheltered accounts is the fastest way to financial independence in Canada.
