    Why You Can't Save In Canada

    Since I came to Canada I no longer have savings. What is happening? That question came from a listener, and it kicked off one of the most honest conversations we've had on this podcast. Onose (treasury, liquidity and funding risk management at a bank) and Dipo (institutional investment, allocating capital across public and private asset management) break down why saving feels impossible here — and what to actually do about it. We cover: - Why the culture of tap-to-pay makes spending invisible - TFSA vs RRSP vs FHSA, and which to prioritize first - How to actually build a savings habit (standing orders, the 50/30/20 rule) - Investing basics: stocks, ETFs, and the difference between them - Credit score — what it actually measures and how to build it - Black tax: how to set boundaries with family without the guilt - The Bitcoin story neither of them wants to talk about Not financial advice. Please speak to a licensed advisor for anything here that applies to your own situation.
