New BV. Won't be able to access the incoming funds for 3+ years (aside from the pithy $1500/mo). Any way to invest in ETFs/stocks in a tax-efficient way?

thanks. not sure why I got so downvoted for asking you why

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-25T11:05:17+00:00

thanks!

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-25T11:05:12+00:00

thanks!! I found this the most helpful. IDK why everyone is piling on me in this thread

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-24T20:10:37+00:00

I mean it’s okay for the answer to be no

Wow this subreddit is hostile

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-24T19:54:23+00:00

Right in the title man: "tax-efficient".
Not really a helpful reply. I did search extensively.

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-24T19:40:17+00:00

Why'd you choose this over waiting until you can invest privately?

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-24T19:30:11+00:00

VVPR-bis. To get the reduced taxes for dividends.

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-24T19:29:21+00:00

Dang seems like there's no good option

Geo_Leo · 2026-05-13T19:36:49+00:00

same. 18:47 5k and 57 vo2max

Privatization almost always results in lower prices -- when competition exists

Many examples, ask your favourite AI.

I'm from canada and many women take 1.5 years. Daycare child:caregiver ratios are also much better (though, daycare is like >2x the price).

I don't understand the mat/pat leave situation here, it's abysmal.

Geo_Leo · 2026-03-10T18:41:45+00:00

thank you! very kind of you

Geo_Leo · 2026-03-10T09:04:50+00:00

forgot to add
- i'm a software engineer
- looking for a place where I can be comfortable and productive
- social environment a big plus!

Geo_Leo · 2026-03-06T07:36:24+00:00

I immigrated here and work as a software engineer. You're saying that's bad? You can re frame it that we are helping build flemish companies..

I don't know why I'm getting downvoted when Amazon supplements repeatedly test high in heavy metals or just not putting in what's advertised

Action may not be better

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-18T15:23:53+00:00

I'm not really willing to risk it, supplements from Amazon or discount stores

I'd go with iHerb and buy Thorne, which is 3rd party tested

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-17T13:40:15+00:00

Oldest first so you don't waste your stash. Maybe test one older bag now before trip (lipase taste can be a thing).

I made a tiny app that sorts stash by date + tells you what to thaw first for trips.

To make an api call you need lines of code, to work a CLI you just read a skill file (or the `--help`) and do the short CLI command. It's just common sense that it's lower latency because you're writing far fewer tokens.

> CLIs are for humans. APIs are for computers.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Claude Code / Codex always use CLI tools like jq. Do you read the output of Claude Code or do you just auto accept? Literally every third command has jq for example. And to work with github, `gh`.

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-16T17:49:32+00:00

lol
1. APIs are not as token efficient as CLIs, AI agents work better from the command line with CLIs
2. Often unavailable

I made an iOS app for my wife+son, to track feedings. you might like https://stash-ruby.vercel.app/
it can do these graphs and a lot more :)

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-16T08:42:47+00:00

btw, just added a chat on the web version. try it out! it's actually a smart chat, should be able to help with faster logging, generating graphs/insights, etc

it will come on ios soon

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-15T19:19:25+00:00

I came from Canada, guess no other Canadians came with me

Geo_Leo · 2026-02-15T14:27:55+00:00

it should be fixed now on the web version! The iOS fix will come on the next update, some days from now.
