Wealth Through Investing

Paddleboard in fog

Welcome to Wealth Through Investing

When I got back into investing, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information and the number of companies to invest in. What should I invest in? How much money should I invest? How do I get started? What are the Canadian equivalents of American saving accounts that everyone talks about? There was so much to learn it often felt like being in a fog. I knew where I wanted to go but didn’t know how to get there.

If you find yourself asking these questions, you’ve come to the right place, especially if you are a Canadian investor just starting out. Follow along with my real life investing adventures as I make my way through the investing wilderness to generate the wealth to reach my goals, all through a Canadian lens. Even if you are not a Canadian investor, but are starting your own investing adventure, you might learn from my triumphs and avoid the stumbles I’ve made along the way.

Find out what drove September’s market moves, how my portfolios performed and where things stand after the third quarter.
