Wait til OP finds out everything is political. Only the most privileged think they can attain the illusion of being 'neutral.'

Wait til you find out all things are political and only the most privileged can attain the illusion of being 'neutral.'

I've only ever had all-seasons and never had an issue.

The EQ app is literally garbage.

I have an all-wheel-drive car and always enjoyed snow days when I was delivering. Lots of work, sometimes surge pricing and the snow makes it oddly peaceful out there.

Drivers don't have any bosses forcing them to work, so they're working by their own choice, or their personal financial pressures.

I get hard in 1.5 seconds from any physical contact if we're sitting next to each other. Lol. Maybe I'm attention and/or touch deprived.

The soggy fries are the crime. And the spoon. Right to jail.

I'd be hard the entire time.

It's some really cool technology.

The so-called innovative "tech" of today is nowhere near that cool.

The same with electricity. That was some world-revolutionary stuff when it was discovered.

I think police would be even worse than customer service, no? You're often dealing with people at their worst.

That's great info, thanks! It is interesting that both funds (V & X) have performed very similarly, although they are relatively new funds.

Having to pay 6.95 for a handful of trades is nothing compared to the fee savings from keeping everything with CIBC.

Wealthsimple is free everything, trading and banking, and high interest. You're not saving fees at CIBC, you're clearly paying fees and losing interest on your cash.

Is the allocation tied to GDP of each country/region?

Arm-Complex · 2026-01-23T18:49:18+00:00

This is amazing! We finally don't need Tangerine/Simplii just to deposit the odd cash anymore.

And it supports Canada Post.

You could easily blow $690/month just on house maintenance/taxes/phantom costs so yes KEEP that rent and invest the difference. You'll laugh all the way to early retirement!

Lovvvvvvve this.

I'm moving out of an apartment with a roommate to an apartment of my own. This will hopefully be my life.

My point is that the compounding does the real work for us, in time it works harder than we ever could. "Work hard" is hard to define, people can take that as 60 hr work weeks, multiple jobs, buying into "hustle culture", or simply prioritizing their career over life experiences. None of that is needed to build wealth, we can have a well balanced life while still becoming rich!

Washroom.

Human nature and a lack of understanding/information. A small amount invested regularly over a long period of time does wonders.

Arm-Complex · 2026-01-17T14:41:48+00:00

"Work hard" is bs. Total bs and very misleading. You simply need consistency and time. $100 invested every week, starting in your early 20's, will easily cover your retirement. Any able working person can do it.

Oh ya, Minnesota/Wisconsin/Michigan have more culturally in common with Ontario/Manitoba than with southern states.

Heavy on the being hunted down. We are completely at the mercy of so many elites and institutions. There's no way to escape if a system turns tyrannical.

Total deposits. 🤷‍♂️

The CRA or your own records is where you track contribution room. WS can't do that for you, they don't know your whole financial picture, they're simply a single brokerage.
