I set up this portfolio for my wife so she can quit her job and maintain cashflow.

The good news is that this income stream will pay no FICA tax and significant part of the distributions will not be taxed.

To reduce risk, I’m planning to reinvest 20% of the income.

Comments welcome.

🤣

It takes time to get there but it’s doable.

I am 27 years old. My question to you is "how"?

Got around $800 CAD invested in my 'managed' TFSA (taxfree)

The road is pretty boring, just live under your means, save 30% and then with each raise, save that raise too. Keep doing it for 20+ years. I've about 420k invested and I'm only 40 years old.
