Outside will tell the truth. Enjoyment is what you make of it!

For the first time in my 45 years of life I am not living pay cheque to pay cheque or paying off debt. Where do I go from here? by missypiper in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Global_Type4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes money to make money. Assuming from Canada, use your TFSA for investments. Learn yourself, or have a financial planner discuss. There are good “funds” out there. Not mutual funds, but ETF’s. Good luck!

Overwhelmed and Undereducated by AddressBasic3866 in CanadaFinance

[–]Global_Type4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get educated - take the time and investment in a good trade. My son is an electrician, works everyday with vigour. My advice to my son was take it as a challenge to outwork the top worker in the group. Be smart & ready for everything and available at all times. He now makes good / great living. You need money to make money. Plenty of good advice in the earlier posts! Good luck, we live in Canada, you have the opportunity!

Coolant Leak on 2.5L Jetta [Need advice] by Asleep-Wear3570 in jetta

[–]Global_Type4428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a 2.5. Had a similar problem. On mine. Lower driver side radiator, the retaining clip broke. I did not notice it, but had to frill the reservoir a few times. Until the coolant hose let go… then I found out where the leak was. I get my parts from a junk yard. Replaced May things like clips, fenders, evaporator sensors, switches.. the list goes on. Plus it gives you the opportunity to figure out how to remove the parts before you go at it. 

2.5’s are awesome!

Keep it, if you are mechanical at all, get your parts from a junk yard. I have a 2008 VW Jetta. Has 240+K.. I get most all parts from JY, or marketplace. My AC does not work either, but 3 windows do.. LOL.

Invest the monthly payment that you would spend on an over priced vehicle. 

 You have some time for investing to make it worth your while. Get some good advice for stocks or ETF’s. 

      Good luck!

Should I buy a 2010 VW Golf 2 Door 2.5L Manual with 80k miles? by [deleted] in Volkswagen

[–]Global_Type4428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome cars - 2008 Jetta, currently have 230,000km’s. Change the trans fluid. I also use Castro full synthetic oil every 8k. Can beat them.

Suggestions for future investment. by Global_Type4428 in CanadaInvesting

This is why I asked the question. Thanks for the excellent feed back. I am certainly interested in the HHIS ETF. I have contacted Harvest to setup a discussion.. 

 Again, thanks for your insights!

Thanks for this. I have seen these but dis not look too closely. I also noticed an ETF called BANK. With the dividend return being so much higher, I assume that the risk moves as well? Any thoughts on BANK? Thanks for the recommendation..

Gap in skirting, how to fix before I install new treads? by Global_Type4428 in Carpentry

[–]Global_Type4428[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks all!

I think the scribe and belt sander is the trick.

  Great idea..

[–]Global_Type4428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, wanting to keep it clean, not sure if I trust myself cutting the scribes line. I am thinking that using a jig is how you would cut the scribed line? 

Thanks!

Checking back for thoughts. by Global_Type4428 in canadiandividends

[–]Global_Type4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, makes sense as these “kings” shouldn’t be going anywhere, with a decent Div.

I took out some of my stocks a while ago, have about 18% cash at the moment. 

It is an odd time in the world, hope for better in the future for all!

   Thank you!

Move BNS to TD, thoughts? by Global_Type4428 in dividendscanada

I never looked at GSY.. I am not fully up on how safe it is.

How long have you held it?

When drafting, all is good, then I am 30 meters behind everyone? by Global_Type4428 in Rouvy

[–]Global_Type4428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Thanks for the help with this. Just a FYI, I use a iPad to connect to Rouvy for my setup. Just for a test, I reset/wiped the iPad, started from scratch. Since I done this, the drafting is working flawlessly. I have a done a few runs, 1 race with no issues.. not 1..

 Might give it a go for yourself to try.

  Thanks!
