    734 | Don’t Let Tax Fear Decide Your Investment Future

    Is the fear of capital gains tax quietly keeping you stuck in an investment you would never buy again today? In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we pull capital gains out of the “monster under the bed” category and put it back where it belongs: as a math + timing conversation. We unpack the simple truth most people miss—you only pay capital gains when you’ve actually gained, and even then, the taxable portion is often misunderstood. We also talk through why “I don’t want to pay tax” can become an expensive mindset, especially if it keeps you holding an underperforming property or avoiding investing altogether. Then we tee up what comes next: smart exit thinking, clearer options, and how to make decisions from wisdom instead of worry. If you want to build wealth wisely through real estate, this conversation will help you pause, think, and choose with more confidence. Watch now on the DekkerTeam YouTube channel, and if your situation feels foggy, schedule a clarity call so we can map your next wise step together. Quick question: If tax fear disappeared for one minute... what would you actually do with your current investment—hold, refinance, improve it, or reposition it?

    733 | Is It Really Impossible to Buy a Home Right Now?

    Have you noticed how often the message sounds the same lately — “It’s impossible to buy a home right now”? In this episode of LIFE’S INSIDE TRACK with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we slow the noise down and examine whether that belief is truth… or hype worth questioning. We talk about how discouragement often disguises itself as realism, and how that mindset quietly shapes daily choices that either build opportunity or shut it down. You’ll hear why Ottawa is not Toronto, why people are still buying homes, and why asking how instead of can changes outcomes. We also unpack what affordability really means — beyond headlines — and introduce the five factors that buyers can actually adjust. This conversation is about clarity, preparation, and positioning, not pressure. Watch now and discover how building wealth wisely through real estate begins with asking better questions.

This is about keeping trust strong while protecting equity and reducing stress.

    730 | Wealth Myths Canadians Still Believe (And Why It’s Failing Them)

    Ever feel like you should be doing something smarter with your money, yet you freeze because you’re scared of making the wrong move? In Episode 730 of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we unpack why doing nothing is still a decision—one that inflation quietly profits from—and why idle money and untouched home equity matter more than most people realize. We explain how home equity can protect you and also be positioned to work harder, without sacrificing peace. You’ll hear why a GIC often preserves more than it grows, why taxes matter, and how real estate can act as an inflation hedge while still offering thoughtful growth options. Making wise money decisions isn’t about luck. It’s about clarity, financial literacy, and understanding how money actually works over time. We explain why playing it safe can feel calm today yet create stress later. We walk through a wiser approach to leverage—one that avoids overextension and aligns with real life. You’ll hear what we see every week: some people are ready, some need a few steps first, and some shouldn’t invest yet—and all three answers are wise when rooted in clarity. Want your money working with you instead of quietly shrinking in the background? Watch now.

    729 | How Much Equity Do You Really Have?

    Ever felt that little knot in your stomach when you think about your mortgage, your equity, or your “real” numbers? In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we talk about why not knowing your financial position doesn’t protect you—it quietly steals your options. We’ve lived the “ostrich effect,” and we’ve watched good people miss huge opportunities simply because they didn’t know what was sitting inside their home as equity. What if the next wise step is not a big move at all—what if it’s simply getting clear, so your money can start working for you instead of you always working for money? We also unpack a common trap: mortgage auto-renewals and payment-focused decisions that can cost thousands over time. If you want clarity without pressure, book a quick clarity call and we’ll help you understand your equity and the choices in front of you. Watch now, and get the calm confidence that comes from knowing where you stand.

    728 | Thinking It’s Time to Move?

    Ever notice how January pressure can push you into decisions that feel exciting today, then vanish by mid-February? In this episode of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we unpack why New Year’s resolutions often fail, and how that same pressure can sneak into real estate choices too. We talk about the “signs breed signs” effect, comparison, and that false feeling of “movement” that looks like progress. Then we flip the script: real change sticks when it’s aligned with your values, your purpose, and your actual life right now. You’ll also hear how flow becomes a powerful decision filter—like water moving around rocks—so you can move forward with calm, clarity, and confidence. If you’re wondering, “Is this the year we move... or am I just caught up in the season?” this conversation will help you get grounded fast. Watch now, and let’s build wealth wisely through real estate—without pressure driving the wheel.

    727 | Wealth Is More Than Money

    Have you ever wondered why two people can have the same net worth and still live completely different lives? In this final episode of LIFE’s Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, the Dekker Team wraps Week 8 of The Wealth Formula Expanded Journey with a legacy conversation that lands right in the heart: wealth is about who you be, what you do, what you have, and what you give. Ken and Yetta unpack why “money as master” quietly shrinks a life, while purpose, gratitude, and meaningful relationships expand it. They share real stories—from “You Feed Them” in Africa to family inheritance conversations—to show how wealth becomes purpose in motion, not a pile in an account. You’ll hear why “passing the torch well” means transferring wisdom, values, and character, not only dollars. And they leave you with a simple closing truth you’ll want to repeat: freedom flows through gratitude, generosity, and growth. If you’re ready to turn your home and real estate decisions into a wiser wealth-building engine, watch now, then book a 15-minute next-step clarity call at dekkerteam.com so your options get clear and your wisdom can flow.

    726 | Small Leaks Kill Wealth: Patch Them!

    Nobody Talks About What if your wealth isn’t failing... it’s quietly leaking? In this episode of LIFE’s Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, you’ll hear why “small leaks” (tiny habits, rushed decisions, and unchecked patterns) can drain your net worth faster than most people realize.

You’ll also get a simple way to consider whether your current plan can actually hold wealth—especially when it comes to real estate investing and borrowing decisions. Then they unpack how steady compounding works (and why starting earlier matters more than scrambling later), plus why the right mentors and team can keep you from costly blind spots. If you want your home and investments to become a wiser, steadier wealth-building engine, this one will land. Watch week 6 of 8 The Wealth Formula Expanded Journey now, and gain the clarity to patch the leaks and compound forward with confidence.
