Are you holding too much cash “just in case” — and missing bigger wealth-building opportunities because of it?

Most Canadians start with a simple emergency fund. But as your net worth grows, your “wealth reservoir” gets more complex — and more powerful. The problem? Many people never redefine their number. They double-count safety, sit on excess liquidity, or stay overly conservative without realizing it. Meanwhile, others jump into advanced strategies before they’ve earned the right to. If you’ve ever wondered whether your cash buffer is too small, too big, or just inefficient, this conversation will challenge how you think about financial security and opportunity.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to clearly define your personal “tier one” emergency number — and why it should evolve over time.
• When excess liquidity becomes “gravy” that can strategically supercharge wealth through smarter moves.
• How your asset mix (real estate, ETFs, leveraged investing, business ownership) changes the size and role of your reservoir.

Press play now to rethink your wealth reservoir and discover whether you’re protecting your future — or unintentionally holding it back.
