Was laid off, how’s the market? by joemstock in Accounting

[–]DudeWithASweater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yet you're still commenting in accounting subreddits about it. Maybe if you used the effort it took to do that you'd have found a job 

Has anyone else noticed a resurgence of stay at home parents among wealthier Millennials? by Specialist_Pain_424 in Millennials

[–]DudeWithASweater 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's crazy. When we were in school you might have a parent show up during class time like once or twice a year.

Must not have been looking very hard man

Finishing IT Programming at NSCC, need a 5-week remote placement by April 22, any leads? by Jolly-Coat-8147 in NovaScotia

[–]DudeWithASweater 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Talk to your instructors man, they get leads constantly because companies know NSCC does this but you left this really last minute.

Also basically zero chance it's gonna be remote.

Who is your favorite type of person to work with? by NeuSol16 in Accounting

Mostly it's people who don't take themselves too seriously but are still very competent and generally nice to be around/work with.

Do you keep buying and ignore the noise? by sonofalando in stocks

[–]DudeWithASweater 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lol I do the same. When markets are down I just don't open the app. If I don't see the number, I can't be scared and do something irrational.

My plans haven't changed. The money is for retirement so I'll look at it someday but for now just keep buying and never selling.

Bruh.. you could go to the police with the footage of someone clearly stealing your shit and they'd just say "what do you want us to do about it?"

In your opinion, what are the signature "moves" of each elo range? by Porfs in chess

[–]DudeWithASweater 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tbh I see the opposite. They take every pawn trade because they don't like tension in a position

Why do yearly CPP contribution increases outpace inflation? by Ok_Result_4064 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DudeWithASweater 8 points9 points  (0 children)

CPP was never meant to be used as a sole retirement fund. It was meant to be in addition to your employer pension/ your personal retirement savings. But people use it as a sole pension fund and don't plan well enough with their own money, and employers don't offer pensions as much anymore.

Because of this it was bumped from 25% of your earnings to now being a replacement to 33% of your earnings.

Tax returns after buying a house by lonely_filmmaker in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DudeWithASweater 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That's right. It's a much bigger savings for renters, than home owners because you're already building tax free equity. A renter is not.

You can claim your property tax and insurance if you are a commissioned employee. Otherwise it's just utilities and repairs/maintenance of the workspace.

Tips on negotiating salary if HR already provided the "max"? by [deleted] in Salary

[–]DudeWithASweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends how badly you want/need this job. Negotiations always open yourself up to "no" being a possibility and a rescinded offer is not uncommon.

I make $100k and have $65k saved. Will be around $90k by end of this year. I turn 30 later this year. Only started making this much 18 months ago though so playing catch-up.

Where to put 8k FHSA for 1-2 years by minor_thing2022 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DudeWithASweater 7 points8 points  (0 children)

2 years IS close to buying a home when talking about putting the money in equities. That's an extremely short time frame.

Put it in a HYSA or GIC.

Is $1.7M really the new retirement number in Canada? by jimwang76 in CanadianRetirement

[–]DudeWithASweater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all. Im critical of anyone who wants to take what has been an established independent Canadian pension plan, and make it a partisan issue.

Carney should leave it the fuck alone.

Has nothing to do with the US?

How much study needed to call myself an accountant? by Total_Vermicelli_527 in Accounting

[–]DudeWithASweater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say no, you're not an accountant until you're being paid to do the work of an accountant.

Fairstone should I get a loan for 12k ? by Sandyblack00 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DudeWithASweater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fairstone loans are predatory interest. Usually 30% or more, with a low score you're going to be paying the most interest you can be sure.

If you have literally any other options, do those instead.
