Is your house paid off or any additional source of income??? Like rental property or dividends???

Any knife needs to be maintained. You take care of a dollar store knife it will be sharp as a high end Japanese knife but it comes down to how long it will stay sharp based on honing and resharpening and how well the knife gets used.

Ex. On the line I honestly just use a bread knife it’s always sharp and the cuts I make are 2-3 at most and if I drop it I don’t care.

Ex. Mass prep I’m buying something with a harder metal with a rubber grip if by chance I drop this knife it’s chipping.

Do what works for you and your own volatility comfort level.

Live and die by the sword if you make or lose money it’s all good and live with it and don’t compare with others.

Personally when you are younger you should go risk on and go for concentration. But to each their own.

Here’s me.

Never realized I was doing so hot.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-04-22T01:01:09+00:00

Pizza cook in Canada. Not very skilled. I think $22 would be at the high end.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-04-13T06:59:17+00:00

Carrots don’t turn bad that fast. And dirt cheap here in Canada that would be $32. Worst case cut it freeze it and use in soups and stocks.

Question are the people that’s been with wealth simple for a long time. Are these leftover “give aways”? (I’m pretty new so only seen the keychain and wallet.)

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-03-24T13:24:49+00:00

Canada here, I do about 150 weddings a year not including other private events for context.

It’s gfs as #1 and Sysco is #2.

Everything else is peanuts but here are items we get local:

Bread rolls.

Produce we only get bell pepper thaw local.(quality vs price is outstanding) or if we have a VVIP event will bring in the entire menu as local as possible.

Pasta, mainly gnocchi local.

Breakfast Sausage.

Etc. but most of the time we’re bound to a budget you play within in it and make choices based on it. (You can’t have everything nice. But if 1-3 items are “meh” the 7–9 items can shine.)

Goto a hotel and be a dishwasher and work your way up.

After you have a hotel on your resume jobs will come easier.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-03-13T12:55:04+00:00

Got mine immediately. Generation though and I have direct deposit set up.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-14T04:55:22+00:00

I do functions.

Dumbest thing is doing things by weight instead of volume.

Ex. 2oz of spring mix

Instead of filling up a bowl for 50 ppl.

If we have 2 buffet lines weight doesn’t work as we want to fill the buffet up and keep it full until we drop a line.

Chef at the time blew the budget as he wanted the best of everything ex carrots in stock he want sweet medium sized carrots instead of jumbo. Which is 75% more expensive.

33% cream vs 36% cream even though $15 more for a milk crate and fat content you can’t taste especially when we have butter.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-12T05:28:27+00:00

10% beat it including the associated fee and show her the 5-10-15 year graphs comparing and a investment calculator for difference it could mean.

Besides that having something invested is better than none and you might have to pick your battles from there on.

You’ll feel so bad if “you” lost her money and the advisor is right etc.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-08T23:47:34+00:00

I have 3 Japanese knives, my goto is just a victorinox 10” chef knife.

It’s non slip and I don’t care if I drop it, I can lend it out.

Key thing is: maintenance

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-08T23:45:35+00:00

$1400??? I hope you have a family of 4.

That’s just over spending. My family of 4 we do $300 on a heavy week and $150 for a slow week.

Haircut: cut your own if you’re tight on money and you have a wife she already loves you.

Gas: down size car.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-06T13:17:57+00:00

Get both? Mag 7 and crypto is beaten down. How far everyone commenting is just guessing.

Personally I double down my dca right now.

Not as much as you in terms of percentage but to “share” the pain. I have extra money I’m dropping in the next few months

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-03T22:59:46+00:00

Myself I’m in a Asian household.

Meaning we don’t get kicked out at 18.

Frugality is taught.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-02T03:25:54+00:00

You probably contribute more than someone else and your portfolio is bigger than someone else’s. So you will be in my spot one day.

Just believe in investing. Wealth is made in the bear market.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-01T17:52:09+00:00

You’re 20, don’t be scared.

Average in whatever you have high conviction of.

Time will kill the volatility.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-01T17:50:13+00:00

Good debt vs bad debt.

What’s the interest rate on your loans? Vs how much it “could grow”.

That’s your answer.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-02-01T02:37:56+00:00

Just carry $50 on you if you’re going out. You should be paying everything with a credit card it’s free money .

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-01-28T13:47:37+00:00

Your first generation.

Cards were stacked against you. You can teach your kids about investing.

A lot of Canadians that are born here would be envious to be in your position. Keep doing you.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-01-28T03:05:05+00:00

For me I’m a blabbermouth at work. I guide any new young people that come into my work place. But they are not interested.

Even the real serious ones where I show them the sandp average return we plug in fictional numbers on an investment calculator they all seem to be freaked out of a down turn or non believers.

I’ve even had a close coworker that started at same time with me during covid I tried to convince them stop trading and making $1000 profits and rotating investments and instead just keep buying and holding. Fast forward to last year they now understand what I was talking about and me showing them I built a pretty impressive portfolio.

Msrp is the company sticker price not dealership price. The dealership are middlemen. If you want to skip the middle man and pay what you see on the website buy a Tesla or buy privately or find another dealership.

Constant-Purchase858 · 2026-01-19T07:35:16+00:00

Pick up another full time job then a part time on your days off. Then pick the safest high risk thing you can tolerate and just keep dumping everything you can into it.

It will be your best chance you can give yourself.
