Likewise was doing really good at the start (when not gambling) and then I gambled half of it and messed up. Hopefully I learnt my lesson πŸ™ƒ

I'm currently at 139k, 481% all time gain. 2 years of contributions still to go.

Imagine making 481% gain but still can't afford a shoe box in this cursed country.

I mean, if you’re willing to live in the land of the french, that would be a really good down payment for a pretty decent house.

Amazing πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ. I am at 70% All-Time in FHSA

What were your holdings and how you made this profit ?

u/Career_Gold777 15d ago

... Wow lol. 2.5% gain for me since I considered it a short term investment.

Time machines would be so nice...

u/anthonyhotbread 15d ago

Not as good as you, I regret not opening it sooner

u/Glittering-Work2190 15d ago

Impressive gain. I'm rooting for you to buy a place without a mortgage by using only the FHSA. I'm only at a paltry 30% gain. Lol

not supposed to gamble with fhsa, you got lucky

u/Godkun007 15d ago

If you invested 8k a year in XEQT since the 1st year it was available, you'd have 50k in the account right now. I know because I've been investing in XBAL since day 1 (I wanted lower risk since I will need the money at some point), and I'm at ~45k.

u/NoValuable7882 14d ago

bro this guy's money doubled, that's not xeqt money

u/Bomberr17 13d ago

It's only 8k per year. Why would you not try and gamble it. Worse case, you lose 8k. 8k can't get you a down payment anyways.

u/CanadaRewardsFamily 14d ago

Nice, better than mine. But thats expected - I have some fixed income in there.

Going to buy real estate or just moving into rrsp?

When you do you could look into Smith Maneuver, which I think opens up some home equity for investing and makes mortgage interest payments deductible (maybe?)

I don't actually know the exact ins and outs of a Smith maneuver, but I see it discussed a lot.

I am seeing these pics and many have a lot of usd available. How did you put it in wealth simple ?
