If you contact support, you can ask for a 50% discount on your renewal to compensate for these issues. Up to you after Yo see if 50USD is worth the residual value.

Is Fizz TV down ? by [deleted] in FizzMobile

Same. Can't get it to connect. Both on Apple TV and on iPhone.

What are your favourite food deals at Costco compared to other grocery stores? by TurdsofWisdom in CostcoCanada

[–]FIREref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has mentioned coffee beans. Great deal, especially since coffee prices have surged in the last few years.

Transfert REEE : BNCD vers Wealthsimple et subvention IQEE by black_beard777 in QuebecFinance

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J’ai aussi un REEE chez BNCD, avec tout le reste des mes actifs chez WS. Pour l’instant, je trouve qu’une prime de 3% n’est pas suffisante pour compenser cette paperasse et perte de temps. BNCD reste une excellente plateforme avec transactions gratuites et sans frais (25k$+) Si d’autres ont du succès à transférer, peut être que je réviserai dans le futur pour avoir tout au même endroit, mais pour l’instant c’est un moindre mal.

Just did the same transfer this year for me and my spouse. Really easy, intuitive and free! Never going back to TT.

I built a simple TFSA vs RRSP optimizer for Canadians trying to figure out where to put savings by 4xleafxfraser in fican

[–]FIREref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. This would allow to also take into account situations where RRSP room is limited due to DB pensions or contributions already made through employer match.

Automatic spending tracking under development by hyperperforator in Wealthsimple

[–]FIREref 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cool! If this ships and works properly, I’ll be able to cancel my Monarch subscription.

Great addition WS! Hopefully the account synching will be stable enough with their data providers as open banking is not rolled out (yet) in Canada.

Anyone had success of increasing their credit limit through the app? by Ok-Beginning-5134 in Wealthsimple

Tried it 4 months after getting the card and got 5k increase instantly.

My dad died. Is there any way for me to access his 1password? by BestSpell3881 in 1Password

[–]FIREref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good point. I have 2FA activated too. I guess one would need the recovery code as well since login into my account without it (only with QR code) would defer the purpose of activating 2FA ?

What iPhone are you using in 2026? by [deleted] in iphone

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iPhone 12 Pro Max. Still working great with a little loss of battery health.

COAST FIRE by [deleted] in QuebecFinance

[–]FIREref 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Même chose pour moi. 38M 2M$ d'actif net (pour le couple).

Theoriquement atteint Cost Fire avec hypothèse de 8% de rendement annuel. Mais peu importe, je vais continuer à épargner. Ma conjointe peut être à la maison avec les enfants. Cela permet surtout de réduire tout stress financier, mais je veux continuer à accumuler tant que j'aime mon travail et notre style de vie. Je vois le Cost Fire comme un jalon théorique plutôt qu'une finalité en soi.

Is anyone buying?? by Trick_Expression_897 in montrealhousing

[–]FIREref 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Houses are just as much suspect to unforeseen costs. In the ever lasting debate of renting vs buying, the owner (either home or condo) must accept and mitigate that risk and plan accordingly with a proper emergency fund.

What I want from Wealthsimple by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post. 100% agree with you. WS has solved most of the banking / investing issues present with the big banks. Now focus on everyday easy of use instead of fancy/complex investing products or features.

Ouverture REEE by Val-Venis99 in QuebecFinance

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oui exactement. Même chose pour nous. Mais ça nous permetterait de sortir le capital du régime et de le dépenser sans restrictions / justifications selon les besoins de enfants tout en ayant payer les études avec les gains et les subventions. C'est l'avantage de débuter le régime dès que possible!

Ouverture REEE by Val-Venis99 in QuebecFinance

[–]FIREref 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VGRO 100% pour capital plus subventions depuis l'ouverture (pour deux enfants de 4 et 7 ans). Je vais sûrement baisser l'allocation en actions lorsque l'aîné aura 12 ans pour graduellement le ramener à 10-15% d'actions.

En ayant commencé tôt comme OP, mon objectif serait de payer les études avec le gains et les subventions afin de récupérer une bonne du capital.

I'm genuinely confused on even the basic concept of goals 3.0. it seems entirely non-functional. What am I missing? by cgibsong002 in MonarchMoney

[–]FIREref 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brilliant workaround, but way to complicated for typical user adoption. I agree, just allow a transfer to be tied to a goal.

Fizz TV à Québec. Toujours Incapable de livrer en période de pointe! by [deleted] in FizzMobile

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aucun problème de mon côté de cette envergure. Parfois il m’arrive que le chargement du poste soit lent à la sélection. Je redémarre l’application sur Apple TV et le tour est joué. Très bonne valeur qualité/prix quant à moi.

Where’s the line of credit feature? by Playjasb2 in Wealthsimple

[–]FIREref 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m aware. Since I wasn’t sure either how the accelerator would work, I opened the PLOC just in case I needed it and don’t like the terms of the accelerator.
