The rising interest rate can surely control inflation, but won't prevent erosion of the eroding purchasing power of the Canadian dollar. I have learnt my lesson this time. The banks can't be making money off my money, while inflation eats into it. I have set aside 650k to invest in the stock market now, since that keeps up with inflation, but I don't know how to get started.

Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.

Svetlana Sarkisian Chowdhury a highly respected figure in her field. I suggest delving deeper into her credentials, as she possesses extensive experience and serves as a valuable resource for individuals seeking guidance in navigating the financial market.

Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle; all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I work as a VP for a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $500k in the last four years.

It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I will suggest you get yourself a professional that can provide you with entry and exit points on the securities you focus on.

I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find on web your coach Margaret Johnson Arndt Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.

Som is a smart dude. We were friendly in University too, and he's a good dude too. Glad he ended up as an expert - he deserves all the recognition he gets.

My utilities were $1000 last month on a 2100 sqft house.. We had a cold Jan here in Berty.

In the 90s Gas was also 0.46 cents a liter back then and a loaf of bread .50 cents. All including trip to Mexico was $600 for a week.

It's not normal to have the average house prices 14x the average salary and have high interest. When interest rates where 10x+ houses cost 3-4x a yearly salary.

Lets raise rates another 100 basis points and see what happens!

Yes we are in the middle of a recession but we have to keep interest rates high as inflation is too high for Canadians of limited and modest means.

I was gobsmacked to learn/realize recently that the average income in the early 80s (when I was a tween/teen) was higher than average housing costs.* The 18% interest rate back then was negligible when homes (etc.) were actually affordable. *Search "House price vs Income since 1984 in Canada" by "The Beauty of Data" for an eye-watering infographic/animation

Net Flow of Funds into Purpose tells a different story. Half of Canadians are struggling while the other half makes excess money.

People are spending because they have to. They still need to eat and put gas on their car to get to work any pay the utility. I'm not sure how many can spend on luxury items but for most people, it is just essential.

The right measure is growth in GDP PER CAPITA. By that measure, we have been in a recession for years as our living standards get undermined by low productivity, high taxes, punitive and costly government regulation, excessive government spending on borrowed funds and a very poorly led Bank of Canada. Governments are focused on Debt/GDP and simple increase in GDP - because it allows them to borrow and spend more and run more government deficits. Need to focus on PER CAPITA measures as that is what is really important to the citizen.

Ok then are you prepared along with other canadians to bear the costs needed to fix the root causes of this recession? Are you prepared to participate in this democracy to make living costs affordable for the labour force so they can sustain businesses as labour and customers? Or are you going to silently grumble and complain when your standard of living stagnates or falls because many canadians seem to think raising a fuss for a better future is too much trouble? Its a democracy, it requires citizens to participate to fix problems.

Spending is mostly due to Inflation. We don't have to buy more to spend more. I do feel that we are in recession. I did know that inflation was a problem well before BOC recognized it. This time, I see recession right with us while BOC is wondering if we will enter recession. Economists are the dumbest people these days. Go and spend one day a week going around and spending money on various things. We can feel it if you do it regular bases.

Have you seen the explosion in the number of low cost grocery stores or the increase in sales being offered by retail, or the increase in people seeking cheaper prices online? Disposable income is falling as it gets eaten up by mortgage and rental costs in what to me at least, is a self made housing crisis because enough people decided it was ok to leave housing to the private market.

We have a booming economy which will grow faster only direction is opposite😁

These bank reps are out of touch with reality....People still spend but are putting more on credit cards and thinking that Canadians with these mortgages can live with a 6% + in interest is dreaming....

Speculators need to suffer, a whole generation of investors just been riding the gravy train.

People are NOT spending. Restros are empty on Valentine's. People buy the cheapest crap. Cut now or else...

Only half of people will ever feel the squeeze from this. Most, if not all of the 30% of home owners with no mortgage and anyone who bought more than 8 years ago will never feel it. The people who are feeling the squeeze is most renter's, people who bought in the last 8 years, and people who tapped into their home equity for more RE or toys. Like my father always said. Your responsible for your own decisions, the govt will not save you.

Determine your risk tolerance first and foremost. Be aware that it costs money every time you buy and sell a stock. A lot of people think they can make a nice profit by buying a stock when it dips down a little and then dumping it when it recovers but they fail to factor in the considerable fees the brokers charge you to place your orders Also be aware that it's basically gambling, it shouldn't be done with money you're going to need in the future, consider whatever you invest already lost
