Welcome back to another episode of Your Everyday Rich Podcast!

In Episode 35, Jason goes solo to interview his stock market trading mentor Eddy Li. 

During 2020 with people all locked down at home, day trading in the stock market became a massive phenomenon, prompting the rise and fall of meme stock and Wallstreetbets.  Many people made a fortune, but many more also lost it all.  Jason dabbled into trading for months, and it was during this time when Jason discovered Eddy through similar networks, and seeing first hand the possibilities of what trading can do for building a financial nest egg and creating financial freedom.

Eddy is a successful stock market investor and trader with 20 years of experience.  Having gone through several bull and bear cycles, and at one point losing all his money in the stock market, it took years to transition from value investor and learn how to trade properly to become profitable.  From learning English, getting bullied, hustling for money in grade school, to learning computers, his humble beginnings in the stock market started in the early 1999.  It was only during the meme stock era of 2020 that he entered the world of options trading and was able to capitalize on the wild market volatility to make multiple 7 figure day returns!  

Eddy shares the story his rough childhood growing up in a small town as an immigrant, how he navigates market crashes, his biggest daily win ever (it’s mind boggling big), what to focus on as a newbie trader, and his number 1 secret to becoming a successful trader.  You don’t want to miss his jaw dropping story.

Day trading options is extremely risky, even to a professional.  Do not attempt to trade options (or day trade at all) before understanding the inherent risk and nature of this stock market instrument.  But if properly executed, it can be a life skill that can lead to LIFE CHANGING money.

Why do these conversations matter? They matter because these convos are happening behind closed doors ansd we want them to be front and centre so you can be empowered to achieve financial success.  You don’t know what you don’t know but we are here to change that and provide you with the info, insight, and tips you can use to make the best decisions around your money and investing so that it is built around Your Everyday Rich life. 🚀

In Episode 34, Jenn and Jason talk shop about Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSA) and Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSP). Which is better for retirement?  Often debated as the Jordan vs LeBron argument for two popular Canadian investment vehicles, there are a few things that should be considered when picking which Allstar should lead your investing accounts.  They explain the differences between these two accounts, including tax benefits and contribution limits. Additionally, they highlight the importance of considering your income level when deciding whether to invest in an RRSP or TFSA.

It gets juicy when Jason and Jenn delve into the complexities of withdrawing funds from an RRSP, particularly when you reach your retirement. No one talks about how to withdraw the money during retirement or the process.  This conversation really started after hearing their parents try to figure out all the details around withdrawing funds from RRSP’s and why maybe contributing could be a negative. They also touch upon the potential drawbacks of contributing to an RRSP, such as converting into RRIF at a defined age and  the difficulties in withdrawing large sums without incurring high taxes and losing government benefits like the Old Age Security (OAS). 

This episode really stresses the importance of understanding the long-term implications of your investment choices and the potential challenges you may face when accessing your funds in retirement.  The conversation underscores the need to continually adapt these strategies as personal circumstances change and to stay informed about evolving government rules and benefits for an effective approach to retirement planning.

Welcome to another episode of "Your Everyday Rich" podcast.  *Raspy voice edition*

In this episode of "Your Everyday Rich" podcast, Jason and Jen discuss the concept of work-life balance. They emphasize that this traditional notion of balance between work and personal life doesn't exist in the way it's often portrayed. Instead, they propose a more flexible approach, portraying it as more of a pendulum swinging between different life priorities rather than a strict equilibrium.

The hosts share their personal experiences, highlighting how their priorities have shifted over the years, particularly with a focus on family. 

They acknowledge that the boundary between work and personal life has blurred, exacerbated by the prevalence of smartphones and email communication. While they discuss setting personal boundaries for different phases of life and different moments, they emphasize that priorities should dictate those boundaries.

They encourage listeners to determine their own priorities and not blindly follow social media trends or advice from others especially when it comes to investing. They stress the importance of aligning your career with your life goals and how this can impact your overall happiness and success.

This episode challenges the idea of work-life balance and suggests that it's essential to adapt and prioritize based on your current life phase and circumstances.

In Episode 29, Jason and Jennifer discuss a living room conversation about the question of maternity leave and its impact on women's careers.

In Episode 28, Jason and Jennifer discuss the costs associated with raising children. They reflect on various stages of a child's life, from infancy to adolescence, and the changing expenses that come with each stage. They talk about the rising costs of childcare, extracurricular activities, food, and even the financial burden of infertility treatments, such as IVF, for couples struggling to conceive. 

As always, they focus on the financial aspects of parenting, particularly within the context of millennial Asian immigrant households.

Jason and Jenn emphasize the importance of being financially prepared for the expenses that come with parenthood and how it's essential to plan and budget accordingly. While raising children is an emotionally rewarding experience, it's crucial for parents to be aware of and plan for the financial aspects. Because ultimately, we all want to provide the best opportunities for our children.

Welcome to another episode of "Your Everyday Rich" podcast. 

In Episode 26, Jason and Jennifer get into a chat about how the interest rates are playing out in August 2023 and how it's influencing the whole "should I pay off my mortgage or invest" argument.

They delve into scenarios based on fixed and variable interest rates, pondering the financial challenges of simultaneously managing mortgage payments and investments, especially when income, debt levels, and life stages vary. They emphasize the psychological relief of paying down mortgages early in high-interest rate environments, as it offers peace of mind and reduces potential future financial strains. J&J also touch on the concept of home equity lines of credit (HELOC), which allows homeowners to unlock equity for potential investment opportunities, promoting financial leverage aka using banks money, something they were able to tap into to launch their real estate portfolio.

Jason and Jenn point out how where you are in life matters, and they toss in some real talk about figuring out what feels right for you, your comfort level, and your big-picture financial goals when it comes to this topic.
