Stock Trading - Entry 3
Ok, so I had $360 of my own, legit money to invest under my own name. Check. The next question I asked myself was: can you afford to not pay taxes? In other words, how much contribution room do you have for your registered accounts/investments? This question may seem odd, but I am referring to registered investments like TFSAs and RRSPs (in Canada). If there is a 90% chance you won’t touch it until retirement AND you have the contribution room available AND you have discussed it with a financial advisor, an RRSP may work for you. For $360 though, I would be surprised if that would make sense to do.

Got Brick and Want to Keep Mice Out?
After spending $30k in renovations in the first 6 months after we bought our first home, we thought it was tight.
