35 - Hidden Rental Costs, Business Expenses & is the FHSA Right for You?
<p>Jess & Colleen discuss unexpected “hidden costs” in investing, homeownership, and business operations. Jess shares surprises from a newly purchased up/down duplex rental property, including an unfinished backyard, choosing gravel over grass to reduce tenant maintenance, and contractor quotes for wood privacy fence and gravel. Colleen shares hidden business costs, moving from manual Excel payroll calculations to scheduling/time-tracking and payroll platforms costing about $70–$80 per month to save time and reduce errors. The episode explains Canada’s First Home Savings Account (FHSA): contributions reduce taxable income like an RRSP, withdrawals are tax-free for a first-time primary home purchase without repayment, the annual limit is $8,000, and the lifetime limit is $40,000; they note investing choices should reflect a homebuying timeline and plan to discuss private equity next episode.</p><p>00:00 Welcome to TGIF</p><p>00:34 Weekly Catch Up</p><p>00:51 Rental Hidden Costs</p><p>01:55 Fence Quote Shock</p><p>05:43 Business Payroll Costs</p><p>07:56 FHSA Basics Explained</p><p>10:33 Investing Timeline Tips</p><p>12:18 FHSA Limits and CRA</p><p>14:43 Primary Home Rules</p><p>16:17 Landlords and Balance</p><p>17:17 Next Week Preview</p><p>17:34 Wrap Up and Follow</p>

34. You've Maxed out Your TFSA, RRSP and FHSA...Now What?!
<p>Jess and Colleen discuss balancing summer adventures with finances, praising Jess’s discipline after a big Africa trip and her plan to do mostly local activities in Yukon, with only a short, costly trip to Haines, Alaska, while saving vacation money for winter travel. They compare this delayed-gratification approach with the other host’s summer expenses for children, including costly camps ($400–$600 per child per week) and $1,500 in activity fees, noting the childcare challenges for working parents. They share listener comments about the podcast’s global reach and Canadian focus, then answer a question from Kelsey about what to do after maxing TFSA, RRSP, and FHSA: pay down high-interest debt, invest in a non-registered personal account (taxed on sale via capital gains), optionally adjust payroll taxes via TD1, consider real estate or REITs, RESPs for kids, and potentially private equity with higher minimums. They plan a future FHSA episode.</p><p>00:00 Welcome to TGIF</p><p>00:34 Summer Spending Choices</p><p>03:12 Kids and Camp Costs</p><p>06:33 Listener Love and Reach</p><p>08:12 Maxed Accounts Next Steps</p><p>09:14 Non Registered Investing Taxes</p><p>11:24 FHSA Explained Briefly</p><p>12:07 Real Estate and RESP Options</p><p>13:45 Private Equity Teaser</p><p>14:57 Wrap Up and Next Episode</p>

<p>Jess and Colleen, hosts of TGIF, Two Girls Investing Friday share a personal update about Jess recording original music in a studio for the first time, then continue their investing discussion from the prior episode by outlining what you can hold inside registered accounts like a TFSA, RRSP, and FHSA (and also non-registered accounts): stocks, bonds, ETFs (including all-in-one stock/bond ETFs), high-interest savings accounts, GICs, and REITs that can pay monthly distributions. Colleen explains ETFs using a fruit analogy to highlight diversification and reduced risk versus individual stocks. They also clarify how tickers work, including suffixes like “.U” for USD-traded versions, and how to search for Canadian options by looking for TSX listings in Wealthsimple to avoid currency exchange fees, while emphasizing research, readiness steps, and robo-advisor alternatives</p><p>00:00 Welcome to TGIF</p><p>00:30 Studio Recording Plans</p><p>01:42 CDs to Spotify</p><p>03:32 Wealthsimple Investing Options</p><p>04:29 Stocks vs ETFs Explained</p><p>05:42 Why Diversification Wins</p><p>07:27 REITs and Dividends</p><p>08:10 Ticker Symbols Demystified</p><p>09:47 Finding Canadian ETFs</p><p>12:23 TSX vs NYSE on Wealthsimple</p><p>15:26 Robo Advisors and Readiness</p><p>16:20 Wrap Up and Next Episode</p>
