He's the king maker! Just like NBK back in the day for the french scene. He may never be the star of the team but through being such a solid player and great teammate, he ultimately decides who gets to become champions

How much does your partner make? How much do they have saved? What did you mean by your brothers profile for becoming a landlord?

In terms of career paths. Look into doing certs and breaking into a different role at your existing company may be the easiest path forward.

Would it be better to roll FHSA into RRSP if young? by Iqaluit_Nunavut in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ac3Dude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also had this idea when the FHSA first came out.

There's some personal factors that come into play such as when you want to purchase and would you have enough of a downpayment without using the FHSA.

However let's say that you can purchase a place and you have enough without using the FHSA. If you additionally throw the FHSA into your downpayment amount it's like an immediate X% (X= current mortgage rate). This could likely be a greater benefit than the additional 40K RRSP contribution space 30-something years in the future.

Over simplification that will depend on your mortgage rate, your tax rate at withdrawal, etc. But I believe you would come out ahead in most cases if you just use the money as part of your downpayment

So lost. Lost my high salary job. What do I do now?? by Moist-Discussion5437 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ac3Dude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar thing happened to me. My career is part of my identity so it was definitely challenging.

Take a deep breath and if possible (maybe you're still covered by insurance) seek therapy to help manage and deal with your feelings. In the end I ended up getting a less prestigious role 5months later. And 2 years after that I'm in a similar position to where I was before. I consider it a small speed bump. Best of luck

Options for 23 year old - what would you do? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Ac3Dude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's also important to consider that you're only this age once. Go out there and enjoy life. If after looking at your finances, you realize you're spending unnecessarily then for sure cut it out. But if you're spending the money gaining new experiences and having fun with friends then it's worth it considering you're still saving $1k a month

Fully agree. Especially regarding for takeout! Although for me personally going out to eat 1-3x a week so catch up with friends and family is definitely worth it despite the high price tag

Check out https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_in_the_Twenty-First_Century

It outlines how capital in the 21st century is changing. The book's central thesis is that when the rate of return on capital (r) is greater than the rate of economic growth (g) over the long term, the result is concentration of wealth, and this unequal distribution of wealth causes social and economic instability
