"An informed investor makes better decisions — whether they're working with a financial advisor, doing it themselves, or somewhere in between. My goal is to give everyone that foundation of knowledge."
Like a lot of Canadians, I didn't grow up with a strong foundation in personal finance. Nobody explained TFSAs to me in school. Nobody walked me through what an ETF actually is. The information existed — it just wasn't organized, accessible, or built for the Canadian context.
Every time I searched for guidance, I found resources written for Americans — different accounts, different tax rules, different platforms. The Canadian experience was almost invisible online.
So I did the work myself. I spent years reading, researching, and testing ideas until I had a clear picture of what actually works for a regular Canadian investor. And then I thought — why should everyone have to figure this out alone?
Invest With Dhruv is the resource I wish existed when I started — Canada-specific, clearly written, and designed so you can walk into any financial decision with genuine confidence.
TFSAs, RRSPs, FHSAs — everything here is built around Canadian tools, rules, and context.
