    My success of the week: while taking a walk with the children, I found a copy of David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber in a Little Free Library.

    My biggest failure: I noticed that for some people, CASH.TO has replaced more lucrative investments like XEQT, for example. I understand why: it’s reassuring and safe, and earning 5%+ is nothing to scoff at. I had that investment profile for a long time due to various reasons. However, if I had started investing when I could and didn’t put all my money in HISA, I would have achieved my FIRE goals this year with a substantial amount in my investments. So, be smart and don’t make the same mistake I did.
