This is great advice! To answer your question on why people don't invest is because they probably don't have the extra savings or room to invest and are probably living hand to mouth. Others just may not have stable jobs/careers.
Important to know about dividend payments in TFSA accounts: A 15% withholding tax will be applied on dividends generated from US equities since the US government does not consider TFSA as a retirement account.
Amazing video as always. Thank you, Brandon! I have a video suggestion if you have the time :) Basically, a breakdown of investing in US stocks and ETFs and the pros and cons that come with it. I checked out your IRS withholding tax video and it was incredibly informative. In that, you mention conversion fees as being something we’d want to watch out for. It would be great if you could do a detailed breakdown of other factors to watch out for 😊
Shout out to all the future tax free millionaires! My suggestion is to focus on growth companies long term over blue chip dividend payers. Tfsa dividends get taxed on US holdings. Exponential growth is for real! Been very fortunate.
Thanks for the vids. Im really trying to understand financial planning. I Have thousands sitting in chequing and savings and have no idea what to do with it.
Excellent video, topped our TFSA's thanks to you. Love your enthusiasm Brandon, you have found your calling, keep up the good work. Happy New Year to your family.
Just subscribed! Since you’re in Canada 🍁 figured you’d be a great person to learn from since many cross border advisors don’t apply to us I believe .. not sure haha 😆
Hello and thank you for the video. I liked your video and subscribed as well... What would you suggest for older people in their late 50s with money sitting in their TFSA Account doing nothing?. ..I like to learn how to invest this money (in TFSA/ A) Or how to make this money grow. to see a good return in 10-15 years. Do you think I should invest let say $20K in a couple of dividend stock or what would you do. All I want to see is a good return in the next 10-15 or even in 20 years. Thank you.
Is there a discord channel that you use or recommend ? I am looking to surround myself with people who can help me learn more about investing and growing wealth. Thank you for your videos and your time 😀
I had the utmost confidence in you and looked up to you for guidance. Now things have changed all because you wore a shirt with the word "Toronto". I can no longer look at you the same way.
Love this, great video as usual, hoping for a more stock picks videos, lets talk about BA, DIS, PYPL.. etc good companies that did not do well last year..
How about taking the $6000 or more and putting it into your RRSP instead of TFSA. Basically expecting to get a good tax return and then investing that return into your TFSA. I am probably going this route.
RRSP is a waste of time unless you are trying to lower your taxable income. I hate rrsps since theyre locked in and you get dinged tax when you take it out. At this day where everything is more volatile youre better to be able to have more control over your money and be able to use without being penalized.
What do you think about the Etherium ETF fund for the TFSA ? ETHX Been hearing a lot about the Etherium 2.0 and its scaling that is going to happen in 2022/2023 that should make it a growth investment I was thinking about holding for long term like 10 years. Never bought into crypto before but this is an ETF so its different or is it better to buy the crypto itself ?
When you say reinvesting your dividends... is that eating some spafe from your yearlie contribution? You mentionned 72000$ after 20 year that not including extra cobtribution.. but only drip dividends reinvestment... so im confuse... i thought that exceeding the annual max was bad and comes with a penalty.
I am looking at buying more stocks in grocery store based I am not shue of NWC but has a 4% dividend my dol is on a bull run and have no idea when it will trade sideways I like AAA stocks for my tfsa i quit high risk with my tfsa
Question, is the total contribution amount what counts, what I mean is if you take money out of your TFSA to invest, are you able to put an equal amount of money back into it without going over the limit?
i was born on december 28th 2002, i looked at my cra account and it says my limit is 18,000 which makes sense however, my trusted and experienced investing friend advised me not to use up 18k and instead only do 12k because he was scared i was gonna go over and be penalized, i tried calling the cra multiple times with no success. im really trying to max out my tfsa every year. what im asking is, is my TFSA contribution limit 12k or 18k if i was born in 2002.(i konw it says 18k in the video)
Hey Brandon, great video like always. Quick question. I turned 18 in 2009, but immigrated to Canada in 2013. So my 1st tax return was for 2013. I assume I don't get the TFSA contribution room for 2009-2012. But my CRA account DOES include that in their calculations. Should I call them? Or let it be, and do my own calculations?
call them and clarify - speaking from experience, its really annoying finding out youve overcontributed 10 or 11 months later and theyve been charging you penalty each month. Yes you are correct you only get the room if you file a tax return for that year
Would not recommend GICs with these low rates that become more worthless as inflation rises. Maybe TIPs or the Canadian-equivalent RRBs if you want a conservative portion in your portfolio.
Alot People just don’t have the spare money to put into tfsas or rrsps which is sad, inflation is just crazy high, food is insane, rent, etc, and the wage isn’t going up, the gap is huge
@@petervaneverdink448 You didnt listen. The inflation is taking any spare money and gobbling it up. The BoC needs to hike interest to 5 percent already.
Maybe look into The Budget Mom…she has great methods for saving. Even for those who don’t think they can. Even $25/mth is better than nothing giving compound interest.
@@petervaneverdink448 how is that possible when people work 40+ hours a week and have responsibilities… yeah let’s just find a random way to make 100 bucks, how about why can’t we live life and relax.. oh yeah capitalism
At around 16:24 , you talked about loosing the TFSA contribution space permanently , this only happens if you cash-out of you TFSA account, correct ? I hope you are talking about withdrawing out of the TFSA account. Last year I sold some share to later buy other company shares .
Quick question- if my TFSA limit is 40500 for this year and it exceeds to 50000 next month then can I sell and withdraw the profit or keep there? How does it work?
Hey Brandon, How long do you need to keep investments in your TFSA account, before you can sell them? Silly question, but what is consider longterm investments, short term investments and day trading?
How are you I would like to know from you the following please: Should I be concerned about my income taxes if I live outside of Canada as a retiree on vacation for a period of over 6 months every year and then return to Canada afterwards? Will my income tax be affected by my 6 months of living abroad? Will I lose my Canadian citizenship, O.H.I.P. and other benefits if I live outside Canada for a period of 11 months every year? Could I possibly live abroad for over 6 months every year...if yes what are the tax, and benefits implications for me? If, yes...will my Canada pension and O.A.S. pension, and income taxes be affected? As a Canadian resident I would like to know from you if it's possible for me to retire abroad for about 11 months every year while maintaining a home and, bank accounts in Canada and then return to Canada yearly to do my income tax and leave Canada again? Thank you.
Hey Brandon, Happy new Year and thanks for fantastic video. I would like to bring up Pembina Pipeline stock which pays out monthly. Little puzzled by the dividend payouts every month? Could you please elab more on it if possible? Thanks a lot.
@1:56 How does this work for a new immigrant? If they were not a resident of Canada before a specific year do they also get the complete contribution limit before the year they became a resident of Canada?
Regarding Pro Tip #2 (spouse as successor), when the spouse dies and the TFSA transfers over to the living spouse... what is the rule if the total amount of combined TFSAs is over the allowable contribution limit for one person only? For example, spouse 1 TFSA = 75k and spouse 2 TFSA = 70k and assume limit for one person is 80k ... If spouse 1 dies and have spouse 2 as successor, spouse 2 will end up with 145k. Will spouse 2 be subjected to tax for over contributions and why? Thanks in advance!
I was thinking of keeping TFSA for growth stocks and some defensive stocks and use a tax account for dividend stocks since the high dividend ones don’t have much growth. is that a good strat?
im still kinda beginner. I am no where near close to maxing the tfsa, nor have the funds to even do so. Is this bad? Should i focus on maxing it first?
Love the vids man. So useful. Can we get a vid on some good Canadian/US recovery stocks? In a previous vid you were talking about good investment during a recovery being things like appliances, farming equipment, materials, stuff like that. Would love to learn more 👍👍👍
no not everything is tax free it depends on the investment like when you hold foreign investments that pay dividends. or fund conversion fees etc i am also wondering about fees like Management Expense Ratio (MER) but i see on welath simple they mention another fee so its confusing "The MER of this portfolio is 0.16% and the management fee of this portfolio is 0.50%." do you know what this breakdown is because i thought management fee is the same as MER or all included? and what about mutual funds is this tfsa where you juts let the institution do the work? what is interest rate vs return percentage? i have all these questions because im thinking of doing a tfsa for the first time with td bank but im not sure if there are better options and its a confusing sea out there so i was wondering if you can help, i have the max cont room of $81500, are you in toronto as well?
Thanks for the question. Please have a look at this video we've previously posted. At around 7:25, it covers beneficiaries. Thanks for watching. - Marc ua-cam.com/video/0AfSYbhSsFQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video.. very helpful.. If I was choosing the ETF way, should I invest entire 6k in January itself or break it down to monthly SIP payments?
Hi, plz I have a question, am an international student here, I have a cotisation window of approximatly 23k in my TFSA. I created a questrade account and wanna try my luck. Pls if you can share at what price you think each of the blueship stocks are a best buy and also for the one you mentionned in the orher video(TSE:ATD, NYSE:LMT and TSE:MFC), I also like costco but I see that it's already on its ATH.
I have a question. Let say I have tfsa limit of $5000 and I put $5000 in tfsa account and invested that money to shares. Now whatever dividend I earned from that shares will go to tfsa account by default which will increase the limit of TFSA account. What to do then?
Hi Kirti I can help answer this, but still do your own research. So any growth that you earn in your TSFA whether it’s from dividends or capital gains won’t affect you contribution limit. It’s the money you add into your TSFA that has to stay within the contribution limit. And any growth that happens inside the TSFA is tax sheltered.
Hi I have 1 question regarding tfsa If I sell a stock that I hold in my tfsa account that will be considered as a withdrawal , even I just sell it not withdrawing money from the account?
When you sell a stock and it is just cash within your tfsa, then it’s not classified as a withdrawal until you actually take it out of your account. You can buy a different stock if you wish and not effect your contribution room. Some people have huge tfsa accounts from savvy stock buys and sells. Just don’t buy and sell too often or the cra will start to take notice 😉
If I was to invest 10 000$ in MRNA for example and the stock price dropped and I was to sell at a 10% loss, I would've lost 1000$ of contribution for ever? I would now have a limit of 80 500$ instead of 81 500$? So for every stock that I am unfortunately selling at a loss, that amount is being deducted from the maximum contribution amount correct?
@@cheynebest7028 I had ZERO intention in tax harvesting my TFSA but I'll pick way safer stocks from now on in order NOT to lose that contribution room. THX!!!
@@davidgagnecote5039 also if let's say you withdraw from your tfsa to make a purchase the following calendar year you can top up whatever you have withdrawn from your account. You don't lose contribution room that way... only selling at a lose. Cheers 🍻
on the flip side, if you grow your TFSA to 90k then your contribution room is now 90k if you chose to withdraw everything and recontribute next year. so selling something at a loss is not a terrible thing
Generally speaking, there are no minimums, however, lots of options for accounts you can open. Big bank mutual fund account, basic and boring high interest savings account or self directed account where you can buy individual stocks/ ETFs, etc Take a look at the robo advisor options like Wealth Simple. Easiest option for lower fees and quick diversification across the stock market.

I'm definitely a GIC dude. Been using it for a year now on EQ, I'm risk-averse and just hate investing in the stock market.
Didn't know you could lose space in your TFSA ..with bad stocks...a good reminder to pick wisely...thanks Brandon .
This is great advice!
To answer your question on why people don't invest is because they probably don't have the extra savings or room to invest and are probably living hand to mouth. Others just may not have stable jobs/careers.
Moved 102 shares or 3000$ of Telus from my cash account to TFSA
Added 5000$ of QQC Nasdaq etf to my TFSA
Hey Brandon just to complement your video for new immigrants to Canada the TFSA starts when you get your SIN number
So if i got my sin in Nov 2021, then the total TFSA till now would be 12000?

Important to know about dividend payments in TFSA accounts:
A 15% withholding tax will be applied on dividends generated from US equities since the US government does not consider TFSA as a retirement account.
This is not something we have to declare, right? This is taken care of automatically?
Best way is to buy Canadian stocks for high dividend focused return and American stocks focusing on growth return when using TFSA
Amazing video as always. Thank you, Brandon!

If I was to invest 10 000$ in MRNA for example and the stock price dropped and I was to sell at a 10% loss, I would've lost 1000$ of contribution for ever? I would now have a limit of 80 500$ instead of 81 500$? So for every stock that I am unfortunately selling at a loss, that amount is being deducted from the maximum contribution amount correct?
Yes, you can't tax loss harvest your tfsa because you don't pay taxes in that account to begin with and you lose that contribution room.
@@cheynebest7028 I had ZERO intention in tax harvesting my TFSA but I'll pick way safer stocks from now on in order NOT to lose that contribution room. THX!!!
@@davidgagnecote5039 also if let's say you withdraw from your tfsa to make a purchase the following calendar year you can top up whatever you have withdrawn from your account. You don't lose contribution room that way... only selling at a lose. Cheers 🍻
on the flip side, if you grow your TFSA to 90k then your contribution room is now 90k if you chose to withdraw everything and recontribute next year. so selling something at a loss is not a terrible thing
Hi Brandon
What’s the minimum I can put in to open up a TFSA
Generally speaking, there are no minimums, however, lots of options for accounts you can open. Big bank mutual fund account, basic and boring high interest savings account or self directed account where you can buy individual stocks/ ETFs, etc
Take a look at the robo advisor options like Wealth Simple. Easiest option for lower fees and quick diversification across the stock market.
Let’s go Brandon!
