In this, my first post-vaccine episode, I implore you (again) to maintain your resilience and adaptability in the face of lockdowns and quarantines. Needless animosity and advocacy is, at some level, a waste of time. Time goes on and opportunities aren't locked down. They ceaselessly search for their own champions of delivery and execution in all markets and conditions. 

I also explain the power of compound yield and the benefits of:

• reinvesting earnings
• systematically invest new money each year, or better, every month
• and if possible, as part of an RRSP, reinvest the tax savings generated by their contributions

If you want to generate scenarios based on your own assumptions, there are different calculators online, including the one, very well done, of the site "Manage Your Money Better" offered by the Ontario Securities Commission.

In this episode I discuss how the pressures of the prolonged lockdown have exposed emotional biases in our attempts to understand and deal with the world. Our resistance to balanced analysis is driven by personal traumas, personal motivations or, instead, betrays a selfish desire for power and influence. Perhaps too, ignorance can be a choice ("philistinism"). Whatever it is, when faced with a common human tragedy our ability to coordinate a total human response has been fractured by reinforced assumptions of our own individual preciousness of opinion and purpose. Just a theory.

Oh. I also give you seven takeaways from the Apr 19th Budget.

In this impromptu episode I remind you that lobbying is not relevant in the battle to contain the pandemic. Doing so takes resources and time away from meaningful discussions with essential workers, science and government on stopping the spread of the virus.  I also explore my thoughts on my attempting to take an old-school approach to parenting, and I provide six tips on handling your irregular 2020 income tax bill.
