As a wealth planner, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges Canadian homeowners face. Rising costs, economic uncertainty, and the pressure of balancing mortgage payments with retirement planning leave many feeling like they're running in place financially.
What's become increasingly clear is that traditional financial advice often falls short. Most Canadians are told to pay down their mortgage first, then start investing—a sequential approach that costs them decades of potential growth and tax advantages.
That's why I became a Smith Manoeuvre Certified Professional™.
This strategy offers a powerful alternative that allows homeowners to convert their mortgage into a wealth-building tool without finding extra room in their monthly budget.
What drives me is helping clients achieve financial outcomes they once thought impossible. By transforming how your largest expense works for you, we can create a path to both mortgage freedom and investment growth simultaneously.
Let's explore how this approach might work for your specific situation.
