Planning Ahead Isn't a Tactic. In Chess — and in Money — It's the Whole Game.
Ask any strong chess player how they win and you'll hear the same thing: they aren't thinking about this move. They're thinking five, ten, fifteen moves ahead. By the time the pressure arrives on the board, the decision was already made — the game simply catches up to their plan.
Money works exactly the same way. The people who stay calm when rates jump or markets swing didn't get lucky; they planned for it deliberately, years in advance. Retirement, debt, protection — all of it rewards the person who thought ahead.
And there's a second half to the lesson: great players also watch their opponent. Right now, the player every Canadian should be watching is the U.S. Federal Reserve — more on that just below. We turned the whole idea into a short Father's Day video. 👇
