Strategic Principles

Why container order matters as much as investment selection

A $10,000 investment in a regular taxable account versus a TFSA or Roth IRA can lead to a 35% difference in spending power over 25 years.

STRATEGY 01

Always Take 100% Free Money

An employer match is a guaranteed 50% to 100% instant return on day one. No investment on Earth provides a risk-free 100% immediate gain. Never skip funding your match.

STRATEGY 02

Tax Bracket Arbitrage

Deducting RRSP/401(k) contributions while in a high current tax bracket (40%+) and withdrawing in retirement in a lower tax bracket (20%) generates massive permanent tax savings.

STRATEGY 03

The Power of Tax-Free Growth

TFSAs and Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax money, meaning you never owe a single penny in capital gains or dividend taxes regardless of how large the account grows.
