Personal milestone at 30y/o.
What a whirlwind past couple of years have been. I lost a lot of money, got myself into debt and withdrew all my money from my TFSA to pay some of the said debt. I started grinding my way back this year and started investing again about 4 months ago.

Of course, I had to make the rookie mistake (again) of stock picking and day trading. I got lucky years ago but it is indeed a casino and will destroy your mental health. Never again. From here on out, I’m keeping it simple and enjoy life, keep buying XEQT bi-weekly and let time do its thing. I also have a db pension through work that I’ve been contributing to for many years now.

Hopefully, future me will look back and be happy with the choices I made today!
