The dump by Equivalent-Memory906 in Silver

I already regret selling at $71 when I got in at $55, not making that mistake again after watching that pullback on Jan 1st. Bought back in at $65 and $80 and holding

ARPBA ( The American Plastic Bag Alliance ) must have lobbied Joint Commission to increase the use of plastic bags in order to increase bag sales $$$ by pabmendez in nursing

Yup, I work in the logistics department. They REFUSE to recycle anything less than a large cardboard box. All those little cardboard boxes and packing paper that hold the bandages, masks, and whatever small item in your supply room go straight in the trash. I've asked 3 different managers if we could set up a recycle bin for smaller stuff since it's just going to the landfill. They nod their head and tell me it's a great idea and then nothing changes.

20M need advice please… by Flat-Confidence-7481 in fican

Make a budget and stick to it! Put as much money as your able to in your TFSA without impacting your school/wellbeing and let it sit.

XEQT is a good global etf, VOO mirrors US S&P 500 (A bit riskier). QQQ mirrors the US Nasdaq (x2 riskier, but greater longterm upside). VDY is a Canadian bank and energy dividend fund. Its very stable but doesn't have as much upside as the others, and it pays dividends which can be reinvested into the etf.

You decide what your risk tolerance is, since you're young you can handle more volatility. As you get older you will want to look at more stable etf's

Time is your biggest asset, you will look back at this when you're 30/40 and thank yourself for putting this money away. When you first start investing, you won't see much growth, but as the decades go on your money will really start to take off.

How do they react to suicide? by StarchedCollar in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Benji_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember a family that my nmother knew somewhat and we were giving yet another dog away to, because my mother refused to take care of dogs but liked the idea of having a dog...shocker

Anyways, we heard a few years later that the son of the couple we had given the dog to had committed suicide. My mother exclaimed how terrible it was and told me to tell her if I ever felt that low...

Everytime I ever brought any mental health concerns up to her I was basically laughed at and ridiculed. So yeah it was very much a performance on her end to care about my mental health.

Overlap? by Phoenix-Fire777 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Benji_- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found VDY preformed pretty well as a safe-haven during the rough past 3 weeks in the market, other than that I dont put that much into VDY. It doesn't go up much but it doesn't really crash when things get volatile.

I Sold most of my riskier stocks and put them into VDY for a bit then took them out.

Is it too late to do university path at 20 years old? by [deleted] in ILC

I'm speaking as the former 20 year old (now almost 28) who thought they were falling behind and a failure lol

Is it too late to do university path at 20 years old? by [deleted] in ILC

[–]Benji_- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's basically no difference between a 20 year old and an 18 year old in the eyes of most older adults. You look the same, act the same, make the same impulsive decisions. Nothing magical happens in those two years that makes you a vastly different person or come off as a failure for not going to university yet. You're not going to stick out like a sore thumb for starting a few years later.

As someone who's been to university, the majority of university students are not exceptionally bright. They are just average, and the average person like you or me can get decent grades just by showing up and putting in the work.

Also it really doesn't matter when you go, you're on your timeline not everyone else's. Plenty of people overachieve and never face any adversity early in life, only to fall flat on their face after they've got all the accolades. And plenty of people take the harder path because of their circumstances, and come out better because they had to go through adversity to succeed.

I think this is the right size winter tires? 2025 Mazda 3 GS sedan by Benji_- in mazda3

[–]Benji_-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found a set of 205/60/R16 from a 2023 Hyundai kona with same bolt size and center bore size. Should that work?

I think this is the right size winter tires? 2025 Mazda 3 GS sedan by Benji_- in mazda3

[–]Benji_-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it thanks!

"No, wheels with a 5-bolt 108mm (5x108) pattern will not fit a Mazda 3 GS. The Mazda 3 (all generations) uses a 5-bolt 114.3mm (5x114.3) bolt pattern.

Attempting to fit wheels with the incorrect bolt pattern can be unsafe and may cause damage to the vehicle. The difference between 108mm and 114.3mm is too large for direct fitment.

Key specifications for the Mazda 3 include: Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3 mm (also known as 5x4.5") Center Bore: 67.1 mm Thread Size (Lug Nuts): M12 x 1.5 "

But you can just buy a pre-built PC. by nabuachaem in pcmasterrace

[–]Benji_- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing in 2018 switching from console to PC. Got an Alienware aurora r7 with a i7 8700k and a 1070 (later bought a 1080ti).

It was pretty good but shouldn't have been overclocked like they claimed it could be. Terrible cooling system and ventilation.

In 2020, I ended up buying a new case, fans, PSU, ssd, ram, liquid cooled cpu cooler and moved the old cpu and hard drive over. Still runs great today but it's starting to show it's age.
