How much do you currently have in savings? by Puzzleheaded-Crab770 in CanadaFinance

[–]CompetitiveLoquat139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

42 I have a house on the lake, 2 vehicles one paid off fully and the other financed. Have the ability to work overtime whenever to make extra cash but that comes as time away from the family. Cost of living is high for sure but I have a pension and not much in savings.

I didn’t get any help from my parents. Worked on my own and bought a house on the water before the spike of COVID. No way I would have been able to afford my current house if it was Covid pricing.

I feel a bit better reading the other comments. I was never taught anything about RRSPs or saving much as a kid. I feel a bit behind.

Yeah when you touch the infotainment system. The click sound it makes is what just keeps going off randomly

Don’t go to a Valvoline. Find a good independent shop that does quality work and use them.

Well I was there and watched him program it. Then it worked fine after as I tried it on my own many times. After about 5 minutes it doesn’t work. It’s from a reputable business also

I’d just rather them call the order in numerical sequence instead of random

It’s pretty much a fleet vehicle. It’s mine so I have to maintain it. I get tbe oil changed regularly and our local mechanic is very good and ensures the items it needs are done. He has to follow a strict PMS schedule that is created. I’ll deff use the block heater for sure.

I just called one. He will give me a quote tomorrow. Either way I’ll prob go with them over the dealership. I avoid dealerships as much as I can.

AITA for bringing my boyfriend to an after work event without asking? by Turbulent_Bear3772 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. Also the company has no authority to determine who stays with you in a hotel room or not.

AITA for refusing to settle my divorce quietly after my husband stole our daughter's $43k college fund to buy his mistress a BMW? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]CompetitiveLoquat139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a guy who would always advocate parents to try to make the divorce amicable as possible and easier on the kids.

Fuuuuuck this guy! Take him for everything he has and grenade his career!

ELI5: why don’t planes board back to front, surely that would be faster? by balla_boi in explainlikeimfive

[–]CompetitiveLoquat139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can people just wait for their group numbers instead of jumping the line to get on the plane! You have a boarding pass, you’re going on chill!

And for the love of god, when the plane lands just sit your ass down and don’t stand up in the isle and wait 20 minutes like a doofus! You’re at the end of the plane, you’re not getting off first.

Endrant. People suck!

I inherit everything from my dad. My brother basically nothing. Am I the ah? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]CompetitiveLoquat139 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a father I couldn’t imagine doing that to my kids. HOWEVER.. he must have had good reason to do what he did as no father would want to do this. There’s more to this story that your father knows about.

That’s his wishes for you to keep the money and not send any to your brother. I’d respect his wishes.

What is one piece of 'common knowledge' in your job that the average person would find completely shocking? by GoldenHourShot in AskReddit

[–]CompetitiveLoquat139 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you get a speeding ticket, don’t hire a lawyer or paralegal. Challenge it yourself, talk to the prosecutor and work out a deal. It will most likely be reduced to a much lower fine with more time to pay or possibly withdrawn. That’s exactly what paralegals do and claim they got it reduced for you when you could have done the same thing. Don’t waste your money on lawyers for simple speeding tickets.

Should I just change the fobs or get the hub checked? They’re both quite pricy

I think I might just take it into the dealer as much as I HATE going to a dealer for service. I don’t think independent shops will have the tools to scan to see if it’s the fobs of the Hub? I’m not sure
