I have read a number of articles this past Summer talking about the unprecedented Bull run we have experienced in the stock market since the last market correction in 2009 and how so few people have participated in it. The same can be said for Vancouver Real Estate over the past 25 years and how important it is own your principal residence as opposed to being a long term renter in this city. Take advantage of the principal residence exemption, take advantage of the Canadian dividend tax credit and for sure get your retirement savings supercharged by putting high quality dividend paying equities in your TFSA and RRSP.
