@calmmoneycoach: The best place for every dollar in Canada I booked a trip, found a few cards that charge zero on foreign spending, and went down a rabbit hole through every free win in Canadian banking. Here is the good stuff, one best pick for every job your money does. Little wins, but they are free and they add up. Just do not let a two percent fund or a pricey insurance product undo it all while you chase a better savings rate. Full guide is in the community, link in bio. CanadianFinance
I am considering closing my TD bank account and switching everything to Wealthsimple, which is where I hold my investments and emergency fund. The only thing stopping me is my TD credit card because it builds credit and Wealthsimple cards do not. If Wealthsimple gets credit cards that build credit in the future is it best to never cancel credit cards and just pay them off and cut them up?
I'd love a video on advice for cutting out big banks totally. As always, thanks for your content!

Scotia passport is good but it has a high maintaining balance to get the card for free. Wealth simple is the best to withdraw cash abroad specially japan.

I moved to td this year, they pay 2% up to 5k to move your money.. I moved 250k 3 times, made 15k :) and got a td preferred credit card with the 590 fee waived

Slowly but surely, sometimes times well to take advantage of transfer promotions (3% over time for some) I’ve been moving our accounts from big bank to WealthSimple. Not perfect, but improving all the time; don’t seem to get punished for using my money-either by number of transactions or by keeping less in the account(s)!

The only downside to workplace investments - they’re always in high-fee lowerish return funds and no way to get away from them.

Ok so going to Ireland in October - would you recommend loading my “spending money” into my WS account with some cash on hand as well? I don’t have a standard credit card available to me

So genuine question. You talked about moving savings money to wealthsimple and buying simple ETF’s that generate more compounding than high yield savings accounts. Makes sense. Can you do this by JUST opening a savings account with wealthsimple? Not a TFSA? We have our emergency/rainy day fund in Scotia making anywhere from 1-4 percent (depending how long we keep it there without touching). I’d be happy to move it to wealthsimple, but I didn’t know we could do this with just simple savings accounts. Am I understanding wrong?

Scotia Alex gold has no FX fees and it’s 5% or 6% back in groceries (depending on store) and 5% for dining / entertainment.
