The Young CAD Investor

The guide school should've given you.

The Young CAD Investor is a plain-English personal finance guide built for Canadians starting from zero, no finance background, no jargon, no assumption you already have money to invest. Whether you're confused by your first paycheque, don't know a TFSA from an RRSP, or just want to stop feeling behind, this guide breaks it down the way it should've been explained from the start.

Fully updated for 2026, with current contribution limits, tax brackets, and account rules — not outdated numbers recycled from years-old content.

Written by J. Reid, a self-taught Canadian investor who learned this the hard way over a decade of real mistakes, not a finance degree. This is the guide I wish someone had handed me before I turned 18.
