almost 4 weeks since my last update and not a thing has happened.... 4k deposit and im down 1k. A 1% drop in $XEQT is offically obliterating my savings 😆 , such a shame! We worked hard for that! even my wife asking me, "why no movement!" other then that, ive been sick! still sick! somthing with my gums.... Its a pain but it gave me a fevor! mised a few days work, feeling a little down. my wife and I have offically maxed out most of our registered accounts (all but rrsp) and we have finished buying that last $10k in $VEQT so that concludes our investing for the year, the focuse will be building an emergency fund that will be too big. Saving for both a car and schooling. things arent moving the way I had planned but that is the point of starting early, making sure i have some leway. https://youtu.be/F1Dx3VGU-0s

As your portfolio reaches a certain size, your gains or losses start to exceed your annual contributions. This is a good thing! It means your portfolio is on the verge of perpetual self-sustaining growth. At the same time, it sucks when paper losses become huge amounts of dollars. On a volatile day, I make or lose the price of a car! Losses of that size can be upsetting, but it’s a privilege to have that problem. As your portfolio grows, think in terms of percentages. A 2% loss doesn’t seem that big, but losing the price of a car feels bad. So I don’t think in dollar terms anymore. 👍

Take all the time off work that you need and don't be ashamed. I used to never take a single day no matter what. That was a mistake. Now anytime I need I take as much time as I feel
