5 RRSP Mistakes to Avoid and Investing Biases to Avoid

Following up on our TFSA episode, we dive into 5 of the most common RRSP mistakes we’ve seen Canadians make—from contributing when your tax rate is low to accidentally double-claiming a tax credit. We also shift gears and explore the psychological traps that investors fall into, including the endowment effect, anchoring bias, and the disposition effect. These are the subtle but powerful behaviours that can quietly drag down your investment returns over time.

To wrap up the episode, Simon revisits his past investment in Allied Properties REIT, why he sold it at a loss, and how the company and office space market have fared since then.
