    I completely agree with your statement of the advisor fees!!!!
  • @neilbertram1922
    Great video. You must put a lot of time and energy into the scripts for these. Many thanks!

  • @Helix5370
    Great practical advice with this one Rhys! Lot's to dig into and consider.
  • I have researched and watched a LOT of 'material' on financial planning. You have, by far, nailed it. Anyone who hasn't determined their financial future would be well advised to pay attention to what you have to say. If they are not willing to invest the time to learn and understand what you are stating should go ahead and invest in your 'for fee' planning advice. Of all the investments available, that seems like it would have the best return.
  • @Peter-sz1sn
    Everyone should watch your videos. Great material and great presentation. Love it!!!
  • Lack of real coemption in Canada is the real culprit for hi fees. It is sick.
  • @katbij3149
    Would love a video on your thoughts about taking out life insurance so your estate taxes would be paid especially if you both died together in an accident in the first 10 years of retirement.
  • @luiscecilio8807
    great advice...thanks.......but....at the end all will stay here some way or another
  • @glenngardin3561
    Solid info, Rhys! Love your content. Please keep up the great work!
  • @colleesu555
    In terms of fees: We pay it. I don't understand why, financial advising fees can't be a tax write off of some kind. We all need such advisors for our retirement.
  • If you’re paying 2% fees then the 4% rule becomes irrelevant and you now need 1.5 times the portfolio size to make the 4% rule work. Simple switch to low cost etfs and you take a decade or more off your working career.
  • @Andrew21882
    What are thoughts on a strategy like this: opting for not getting deducted any tax and investing an approximate annual tax amount in let’s say in one year GIS or another high interest vehicle.
