730 Wealth Myths Canadians Still Believe (And Why It’s Failing Them)

Ever feel like you should be doing something smarter with your money, yet you freeze because you’re scared of making the wrong move? In Episode 730 of LIFE’S Inside Track with Ken and Yetta Dekker, we unpack why doing nothing is still a decision—one that inflation quietly profits from—and why idle money and untouched home equity matter more than most people realize. We explain how home equity can protect you and also be positioned to work harder, without sacrificing peace. You’ll hear why a GIC often preserves more than it grows, why taxes matter, and how real estate can act as an inflation hedge while still offering thoughtful growth options. Making wise money decisions isn’t about luck. It’s about clarity, financial literacy, and understanding how money actually works over time. We explain why playing it safe can feel calm today yet create stress later. We walk through a wiser approach to leverage—one that avoids overextension and aligns with real life. You’ll hear what we see every week: some people are ready, some need a few steps first, and some shouldn’t invest yet—and all three answers are wise when rooted in clarity. Want your money working with you instead of quietly shrinking in the background? Watch now.
