I invested very conservatively in Canadian Savings Bonds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates. I kept on extending the term on the GIC,even though the return was averaging less than 1% per year. My CSBs barely gave me any returns as well.
Then a few years ago, I opened up a brokerage account with my bank and invested in stocks. My TFSA account is invested in a monthly income fund, whereas my RRSP account is a more aggressive portfolio with funds from the U.S, international markets and emerging markets. My biggest regret is not educating myself earlier about investments and letting my in-house advisor make all the recommendations.
