20 ways Canadians can lower investment fees without changing banks

Investment fees rarely grab headlines, yet they quietly shape long-term returns. A one percent difference may not sound dramatic. Over the decades, it can mean thousands of dollars lost to charges.

Small adjustments inside your existing setup can trim costs without moving your money. You just need to know where to look and what to ask. Here are 20 ways Canadians can lower investment fees without changing banks.

I stuffed a piñata with $1,000 cash - strangers kept what fell out

I bought a piñata, stuffed it with $1,000 in real cash - ones, fives, tens, twenties, fifties, and even a crisp $100 - and headed to 5th Street Alley in Eugene, Oregon.

One swing led to a full decapitation and a $79 payday, and from there it was chaos until every last dollar dropped. Now the big question is… can we hit 600,000 subscribers so I can unleash the $10,000 piñata next?
