Jess hosts TGIF solo while Colleen is away and answers a listener question from Pam about using Wealthsimple and whether to invest through a TFSA or RRSP. She explains Wealthsimple as a Canadian fintech offering chequing and investing accounts, and reviews three investing approaches: traditional financial advisors, robo-advisors, and self-directed investing, emphasizing how higher fees can significantly reduce long-term returns. Jess breaks down how TFSAs work and how RRSPs differ. She shares a common guideline of using $50,000 income to help decide, notes many people use a hybrid approach, clarifies RRSP withdrawal options including the Lifelong Learning Plan and First-Time Home Buyers Plan, and reminds listeners they can hold multiple TFSA/RRSP accounts without overcontributing.
