In particular, we’ll guide you to ensure that a balance is achieved between securing their financial future, while still propelling you to reach your lofty and audacious investment goals.

  • Why many who are eager to begin investing seem to get stuck and struggle to get started;

22 Nov 2023Should I Invest In a RRSP or TFSA?00:22:50

In this episode of the Invested Teacher Podcast, we delve into the weeds to discuss which government tax incentivized investment vehicle in Canada will best serve our Invested Student audience: the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) or the Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). 

We will take some time to dig into some specific cases including those in “golden handcuff” careers with Defined Benefit Pension Plan (DBPP) in your job and whether or not you should be putting all of your investment eggs into the RRSP basket or whether looking to the TFSA as a better place to build on that defined benefit pension plan.

We’ll also share why we’re big fans of using the TFSA for your longer term, growth-focused investments, while keeping the RRSP for your safer and steady assets. However, we won’t hold back on sharing why an RRSP can feel a bit like an "investment jail," especially if you're thinking your income tax bracket during retirement might be the same or higher than it is currently.

Finally, we’ll be talking about the impact inflation might have on your income tax bracket during retirement and some creative ways to use your RRSPs with strategies like The Smith Maneuver to unlock some of the dead equity in your primary residence to still benefit from the tax deferral power.

Sit back and get ready to take a trip through the TFSA vs. RRSP maze with a promise to give you some great tips for every circumstance. 

What you’ll learn:

  • What is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and how does a RRSP work?
  • What is a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) and how does a TFSA work?
  • Why those in “golden handcuff” careers with a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (DBPP) might hold off on dumping all of their investment funds into their RRSP;
  • Why a TFSA is the better spot for your growth-focused investments and your RRSP for safer, more conservative investments; 
  • Why an RRSP might be considered a “jail” for your investment funds, especially if you feel that your tax bracket may be the same or higher in retirement; 
  • How inflation alone may push you up into higher tax brackets by retirement even if your income has only increased by a Cost of Inflation Allowance (COLA);
  • Why an RRSP is a fantastic idea for those interested in putting the “dead equity” from their primary residence to work; and,
  • Is it better to use equity from your home to fund your RRSP or to apply The Smith Maneuver?

13 Dec 2023Looking at Mutual Funds Under the Microscope00:27:27

In this episode of the podcast, Jon Orr and Kyle Pearce dig into the pros and cons of investing in managed mutual funds versus their benchmark index funds. Despite the common messaging in the media surrounding the high management fees and the inability for any managed fund to consistently beat the market from year to year, we look to unpack some of the potential benefits that managed mutual funds might provide for those seeking a more hands-off approach. 

In order to dig in more deeply, we share some sample analysis of the performance of a few managed mutual funds over a decade and get more specific as to what the media could be saying when they claim that mutual funds don’t consistently beat the performance of their benchmark index.

As you’ll learn in this episode, some managed funds do outperform their benchmark indexes over longer periods of time and therefore push back on the claim that one should always consider index funds over managed mutual funds for their retirement, education, or other investment savings accounts. 

Which route should you go? Let’s take a dive into actively managed mutual funds vs. benchmark index funds and determine what might be the best fit for you based on your specific goals and investor profile. 


What you’ll learn:

  • What are managed mutual funds and benchmark index funds? 
  • Are benchmark index funds always the better option than a managed mutual fund?
  • Should I be ditching my “big bank” managed mutual fund? 
  • Does a mutual fund with a high Management Expense Ratio (MER) always matter? 
  • What really matters when it comes to passive investing in the stock and bond market?

In this episode, we will unpack whether there is a case to be made for investing in the stock market as a “Stock Player” (or picker) or whether you should really be a “stock spectator” and take the indexed fund or mutual fund approach.  We’ll look at a Foolish Claim by a common “Stock Picking” subscription website advocating for how YOU - regular old, entrepreneurial, do it yourself, YOU can beat the market ahead of all of the managed mutual fund managers;

We’ll also look at the data to determine whether stock picking generally leads to higher returns than market indices or whether stock pickers just think they know more than everyone else; and,

We’ll dive into other considerations that you should be thinking about before you take on any type of active investment involvement be it stock picking, real estate wholesaling, flipping, BRRRRing (buy, renovate, rent, refinance and repeat), or just buying and holding.

Exploring these ideas are important so that you can determine where you’ll receive the greatest return on your TIME investment to maximize your wealth and time freedom over the long term.

21 Feb 2024Niche Down on Nicheing: Strategies for Sustainable Success For Canadian Investors & Entrepreneurs00:30:35

If you have been successful in entrepreneurship, business, investing, or even life - but you aren’t actually clear on what you’re striving towards - it’s highly likely that you’ve just been lucky.

The real question you need to ask yourself is: 

How long will your luck last if you continue to drift through your entrepreneurial daily ritual, aimlessly working without intentionality, without clarity, or without a clear goal in mind? 

As entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors, we are “go-getters” by nature and that can lead us to try to be all things to all people. 

In this episode you’re going to learn the most important element you need to take your wealth creation journey to the next level. 

The Canadian Wealth Secret Sauce for this episode is: 

Identify your niche and direct the vast majority of your time, energy, and thoughts towards serving those in that niche.

We’re going to “niche down” on “niching down” in all aspects of entrepreneurship, business, finances, and life to help you determine how you can better direct your time, energy, and overall focus on becoming the expert you need to be for your niche. 


What you’ll learn: 

  • Why much of the success that we as entrepreneurs, business owners, and investors achieve can often be attributed to luck;
  • Why your natural drive to be all things to all people is actually holding you back from even greater success in your business be it active or passive;
  • How to avoid the feeling of “ditching” some potential clients you could help or “missing out” on investment opportunities that fall outside of your identified niche; and,
  • Why becoming the “authority” in a very specialized niche with a more narrow base of clients, deals, or opportunities will lead you to much greater levels of entrepreneurial or investor success.

28 Feb 2024Create Your Own Canadian Pension Plan So Good That Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) Members Will Be Jealous!00:51:57

Are you tired of hearing how amazing the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) is, leaving you feeling left on the sidelines for a comfortable retirement just because you’re a pensionless T4 employee, Canadian business owner, or entrepreneur?

For the few industries that still provide Canadians defined benefit pension plans (DBPP), these sources of financial security in retirement are one of the major contributing factors that keep employees chained in their golden handcuffed careers. It is hard to blame the many Canadian employees for “sticking it out” when the company pension represents a financial safety net for life beyond your working years. Who would turn down the opportunity to earn an income into perpetuity after you “retire” so you can sleep a little easier at night.

In this episode we’re going to teach you how to easily create your own safety net using a little known Canadian Wealth Secret surrounding a massively under-utilized financial tool that - when designed strategically - will make any retiree jealous!


What You’ll Learn:

  • Discover innovative wealth building strategies that give you the benefits of a guaranteed pension without many of the limitations that come with them.
  • How creating your own “pension” can not only create financial security in retirement but also create a lasting financial legacy for future generations.

12 Jun 2024Your Net Worth Really Isn’t Your Real Net Worth: How to Create a Wealth Management Strategy and Estate Plan That Works00:32:39

Do you have a blurred understanding of what your true net worth or net wealth really is?

After digging into articles and resources across the web, it is clear that many Canadians have a misguided or incomplete understanding of what their true net worth or net wealth really is. 

If you’ve been following the basic formula of assets minus liabilities to calculate your net worth, then it is highly likely that the resulting value is inaccurate and ultimately useless for your financial wealth management strategy.

By shifting the focus from merely accumulating more assets and less liabilities over time, we will share some other considerations that can help you navigate the “secret costs” including taxes and liquidation expenses to provide you with more clarity around your real net worth and how you can protect it now and in the future.


What you’ll learn:

  • Gain clarity on accurately calculating your net worth, including often overlooked factors like taxes and liquidation expenses.
  • Learn strategies for effective asset management and the importance of diversification to safeguard your net worth and overall net wealth.
  • Understand the crucial role of tax implications and asset distribution planning in preserving and passing on your wealth to future generations.

By enhancing your understanding of what your real net worth is, you will avoid the common overestimation of your true financial and wealth management picture and ensure that you aren’t left scraping for cash flow in your later years.
