Yesterday was one of those days that sticks with you.

Family came into town to watch my son play baseball. After the game, we ended up around the fire roasting hot dogs, marshmallows, enjoying some good time together, and drinking slurpees of course.

At one point, my almost 3-year-old nephew asked me for a ride on my motorcycle.

If you know me, then you know, the answer was yes!

Afterward he said:
“Uncle Chrispy… me go sooo fast. It funny!”

It made me laugh — and reminded me of being a kid, learning to ride for the first time and thinking it was the coolest thing in the world.

I learned to ride in my uncle and aunt’s back alley in Washington on a 50cc S**t Cat, and I was over the moon, when I was big enough to move up to the 70cc 3-speed Honda Passport. Those are great memories.

Crazy how those small moments come full circle.

Those kinds of days have a way of putting things into perspective.

Really grateful for family, and all the memories we’re making.

Couldn’t do it without the support of my amazing wife!

Last week's blowout U.S. payroll report underlined the improvement in the U.S. labour market this year, with hiring accelerating and broadening across sectors, signaling a more durable foundation for growth. Canadian employment data were also surprisingly strong, reversing some of the weakness in hiring this year.

RRSPs vs TFSAs

06/04/2026

A question I’ve been hearing a lot lately:
“Should I focus on an RRSP or a TFSA?”

A lot of people want the quick answer.
“Just tell me which one is better.”

Fair question — but most of the time, that’s not how real planning works.

An RRSP and a TFSA can both be useful. The difference is how they fit into your life, your goals, and what you’re building toward.

Things like income, future earning potential, short-term plans, retirement goals, and workplace benefits can all shape how someone thinks about each account.

That’s why personal finance usually isn’t about finding one “perfect” answer.
It’s about understanding the tools available to you and using the right one for the right job.

And honestly, that’s one of the parts of this work I enjoy most — helping people take something that feels noisy or confusing and turning it into something clear and practical.

There can also be extra layers in certain situations. For example, individuals with U.S. citizenship living in Canada may have additional tax considerations, which is why it can be important to coordinate with qualified tax professionals when needed.

At the end of the day, clarity doesn’t come from blindly picking one account over another.

It comes from understanding your own situation — and making decisions that line up with what matters most to you.

Measure twice, cut once.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard or said this on a job site. And I know I’m not the only one who’s said it to myself after a bad measurement that led to something not fitting quite right.

A bad measurement can lead to a lot of problems:
-Wasted time
-Wasted materials
-Bigger issues
-Costly mistakes

As much as it applies on the jobsite, it applies to other parts of life too.

I’ve seen a similar pattern when people make rushed financial decisions — not because they’re careless, but because they’re trying to get the job done quickly.

But rushed decisions can have ripple effects.

The goal isn’t to overthink everything…
It’s to slow down just enough to understand what you’re doing and why.

When was the last time you took a step back and re‑measured where you’re at?
And what does the outcome look like if that measurement is off?
