WHY are we not taught these investing principles earlier on in life?? I wish I had read this 10,20, 30 years ago. Thank-you. Question. Is there a way to buy your book in bulk at a better price? I keep buying more and more and intent to buy more to hand out to friends and family.

July 30, 2022 8:38 amHi. After reading your book I think I’m ready for AIY. What do you think about this distribution? How could I improve, what am I missing?
VEQT 80% – diversified ETF that rebalances itself
ZAG 10% – low MER, to add the bond component I want, 80/20 I think it’s too much for me
VDY 10% – dividends with growth
Are there similar alternatives with lower MERs?

ZAG includes long term bonds which are will take a bigger hit if rates continues to rise. A shorter term bond ETF would be less volatile. There are comparable ETFs from the big three (Vanguard, iShares, BMO) and others.

Thoroughly enjoyed your book and excited to reframe our financial outlook as a young family!
Curious your thoughts when an employer has an RRSP matching program? I would be tempted to continue to invest the maximum matched amount into that, and then any subsequent amounts into my own AIY portfolio.
Much appreciated!
