I'm invested in both to be transparent. But at a point where I'm debating shifting more money to real estate. Cash flow neutral condos at $400k with an investent of $80k is now within reach.

The stock market seems more detached from reality between the 2 at this point. AAPL stock I bought at $200 in 2025 is now at $300. TD stock I bought at $80 in 2025 is now at $160.

Sure, these are specific stocks but crazy returns seem to apply across the board even for many ETFs.

Edit: For context, I'm in my 40s and so have actually seen the stock market crash more than once. This might be making me more cautious.

I know in the past the idea was sign up as soon as you can. Has this changed? I've heard some child care centres want you to sign up after the baby is born now. Is this true or is that more the exception and the norm is still to sign up as soon as you can when you're pregnant?

My wife and I were recently in Miami, having dinner with some marketing professionals. She mentioned that she was a CPA in Canada and most of them were confused as to what a CPA was. Is a CPA not as known of a designation in America compared to Canada? They said they've only been used to having MBAs as CFOs in different companies they've worked at

Just wondering what most people's experience has been.
