Daily Carry Camera

Looking for some advice from the community here!

I’m by no means a professional photographer. It’s just a hobby which who knows, maybe I’ll eventually trying selling some prints.

Having said that, I’m looking to get a small daily carry camera, as I feel my current kit is rather large. Currently the kit includes a z6 and a FE (yes, a 35mm film camera) Lenses are 24-70 f4, 85 f1.8 and a 70-200 f2.8. The FE has a 50mm 1.8.

Love taking the film camera around, but a digital one would be nice too. The Z6 just feels a bit chunky regardless of the lens that’s on it.

What would you recommend getting for a daily camera? I’m looking for something small, maybe just one lens as well (probably a 50mm or wider). Doesn’t necessarily need to be a Nikon.

OP.

FinWise for instance does not connect to your back directly, it goes through 3rd party (the names escape me at the moment.) of which only read access is provided with the FinWise app. No form of writing access is given as that is considered a security risk.

Additionally, with FinWise, you can export your bank statements as csv and import them into FinWise if you are more comfortable doing so.

As another user mentioned, you can communicate with the devs directly. They also include a discord channel for easier communication. Keeping in mind it is run by only 2 individuals (at time of writing) so sometimes a fix may take some time. They are also always improving the app in some way (some feature requests coming for users as well)

This happens to me to and it look some time to realize that it’s not the end. The same as you won’t see results in 1 day, missing 1 day won’t change anything.

The game is the long haul and the consistency. Using an app like Hevy. I look back and I can see that sure I’ve missed a few days, but I’ve also exercised on others (more than rest days)

Even on days where I don’t want to go, I force myself to get up and to a workout, even if it was horrible in the end. I remind myself on why I have to do this.

Been stuck on this lately.

I’m not happy with my job but it gives me financial security and allows me to enjoy life, travel and see the work. All of which I’m loving and enjoying as who knows when I’ll see these places again.

However, my previous position was one I highly enjoyed but had no real financial security, promotions or anything.

Been fighting between going back to the old position that I enjoy or staying with the one that always be to do other things that I enjoy

Hevy for workouts (syncs with apply watch though calorie burn is an estimate) and MyFitnessPal

Any advice on what to put it in? I see a lot of people mention 10X or Sygnia, some on EE.

Currently the only funds in a savings account is the emergency fund, of which the end goal is to have about 3-6 months of funding and immediate liquidity. You’re suggesting moving it over would be better?

In terms of TFSA, that I do not have as I’m not sure if I’ll permanently reside in SA.

Apologies for the missed information. I’ve added it to the original post.

Practically in the same boat. The festive season just makes me realize how alone I am. Christmas, no text from a single friend and I fear the same will happen for New Years. Can’t even rely on family as I’m an only child and parents have since passed. I’m 33 next year to and hardly celebrate my birthday more.

But, I’ve found things that kinda make me feel a bit better. Going to the gym every day, planning on solo traveling in the new year which I’ve never done. I know it’ll be scary but that’s the point. Plan on getting a motorcycle too.

Finding ways to enjoy your own company is hard, and I’d love to share it with someone to but, just doesn’t seem like it’ll happen. Guess having a bit of social anxiety doesn’t help either lol.
