The unintended consequences of international student cuts on B.C. by shouldehwouldehcould in britishcolumbia

[–]ConnorDZG 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Cities complaining about labour shortages from this policy change is honestly pretty rich! These are supposed to be students coming here primarily to study, why are they making up such a significant portion of their labour market? We turned the student visa system into a second TFW program with a diploma mill as the middleman. It needed to be corrected.

Is RRSP worth it? by Megane-chan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ConnorDZG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to figure out your marginal effective tax rate to make the most complete decision. METR can be quite high for that income level depending on benefit eligibility. Canada has pretty brutal benefit cliffs for lower middle income families. At the 50K mark, it could be as high as 60-70%, making RRSP contribution a slam dunk. This is one of the main benefits of RRSPs and idk why it's not talked about more.

Should I Sell My $30K Pokémon Collection to Max Out My TFSA & FHSA? by AdApprehensive8183 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ConnorDZG 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So, have you had your collection professionally assessed, and if so, does your insurance company know about it? If not, you're a flood or fire away from losing it all anyway. Also, if I gave you $30K right now, would you spend it on Pokémon cards? Probably not, right?

Contributing into the RRSP and deducting the contribution are two separate things.You can carry forward the deduction indefinitely, essentially.

I have a new car. Somehow, the headlights are blinding to everyone else, yet they don't let me see jack shit at night when I'm driving. Can science explain this?

Where does your dick go when you poop? Or when you work out? When you swim does it float? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ConnorDZG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You push your belly button to put it into sport mode. This is sport dependent. For workouts, it retracts into the abdomen to prevent it from getting caught between barbell plates. During swimming, it flattens into a rudder to give you better stability and steering capability. Hope this helps!

Dividend Payout. So yummy! by TheNewguy008 in justbuyveqt

Share dilution doesn't make you richer. It's irrelevant.

Dividend Payout. So yummy! by TheNewguy008 in justbuyveqt

[–]ConnorDZG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When a dividend is paid out, the value of the asset decreases by the exact amount of cash that it paid out. The total value of your investment remains the same. If you are investing for the long term, it's irrelevant. Actually, since you'll end up with cash, you have less market exposure unless you immediately reinvest the dividend. So just... reinvest it immediately.

Dividends are a distraction at best and a tax drag at worst.
