My husband Daniel has become an AI expert. My brain usually feels like exploding when he talks about this stuff, but it's so interesting and useful that I knew we had to have him on the podcast to share with you as well. So today I'm chatting with him about everything AI.

In this video, I walk through exactly how I invest for my two kids, from maxing out their TFSAs to keeping education funds in a completely separate account. I also cover why talking about money openly with your kids is one of the most valuable (and free) things you can do, and why sorting out your own retirement is one of the greatest financial gifts you can give them.

In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what index funds are, why they outperform most actively managed funds over the long term, and how ordinary people use them to build portfolios worth millions, in less than 30 minutes a year. The secret to successful investing is that there is no secret, just consistent action through passive investing, made possible by index funds.

There is one type of investment product I would never willingly put my money into. That product is an actively managed fund. Actively managed investment funds seem to be a good choice because they aim to outperform the average of the markets.

However, in reality, these funds often charge high fees AND underperform the benchmark, since it's incredibly difficult to do. So at the end of the day, these funds put you very far behind where you could have been, had you just invested in simple, low-cost index funds.
