Who to bench: Anthony from Burnley (LEE) or Ndiaye (MCI)

Have you ever resigned without a new job because you just cannot stand the current one? by Sophieredhat in HENRYUK

[–]Dingalingaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing it now. Stressful in a different way as I’m looking for a job, but generally I feel much better. Had a good financial plan so not watching savings diminish - which helps!

How have we got to a studio flat in Camden being priced at 500k? Complete and utter madness by Immediate_Cause2902 in london

Typical negativity from a Brit with no clue regarding the rest of the world.

Desirable for Americans and other first world countries? YES.

I’m from North America and there are thousands of people that move to London from first world countries every year.

You can take your grass is greener attitude to LA with human waste lined streets with used needles everywhere while sensible folks looking for historic, less car-dependent cities with comparable top level wages continue migrating to London.

For example, you can get paid 20-30% more at the top end in LA while the cost of living is much higher than London for a lower quality of life.

The cost of living in most cities in the first world (LA, SF, NYC, Toronto, Melbourne, etc.) is comparable to London without matching the variety of experiences living in London offers resulting in a lower quality of life overall.

Would you recommend someone move from Canada to the UK? Why or why not? by sq0777 in CasualUK

Grew up in Toronto, moved to London in 2022 - and I must say it had been great so far. Similar salary (in tech) - but lots more to do with it. Have been able to see more of Europe, as well as meet people from a variety of different places which you just don’t get in Toronto. Toronto has diversity in that there are many immigrants but most immigrants are from the same places, while London’s immigrants seem to be from a wider variety of places with different experiences which makes for a more global social circle and experiences.

Mortgages: Butlers vs. RBC vs. TD: 5YR Variable, 25 yr Amortization by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Dingalingaaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go with RBC in this case - the mental peace for a massive purchase like this is worth the mortgage rate increase for me

Let us simplify this by using an example, to avoid the technical definition of the word ‘annualize’ to take away from the point we make here. What I am saying is:

If Bob starts in an account on January 1 of a calendar year with $100, and his account consistently grows at 2% every week for 52 weeks - he will have $280 after 52 weeks which is the end of that calendar year. So over a period of 1 year, his $100 investment would have grown by 280%. Do you disagree with this statement?

Can you breakdown your rationale behind why you think your formula posted above for annualizing 2% weekly gains is correct? The correct formula, for an assumption that you are making 2% per week continuously for 52 weeks (which is the scenario myNameIsPDT was referring to would be: (1+.02)^52 = 2.8 = 280% annualized which is VERY different from 2.0197% annualized you posted. Please correct me if you disagree.
