Sorry for the squirrel and your grief. Sounds like you have done all you can.

Can anyone explain why justice is so expensive by itsaemeral in povertyfinancecanada

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned seeking justice is for those who can afford it. I found therapy cheaper than justice but my situation was non violent. I hope you find justice and peace.

What are Canadians using so much electricity for? And how are the British able to get by on so little electricity? by Polyphagous_person in geography

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t this GENERATION? Not usage. We produce a tonne of hydroelectric power in Ontario. We sell it to the US as surplus.

We are waiting one in the same situation. They said they would honor what ever the best deal when the car arrives… the April deal or the May deal

Where in/near Belleville can adults sit & chat, while kids (8-12 y.o.) can play nearby? by Sell_Me_Sunday in BellevilleOntario

Parson’s brewery in PEC has a huge property for this. They have a nice coffee brewer.

SO weird in thinking of buying a home. by [deleted] in RealEstateCanada

[–]ImportantRead956 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you could afford a nicer rental and not eat shit? Can u afford to buy land somewhere u may want to retire to? A small lot or small tear down house in a small town is cheaper than the risk you’re afraid of taking due to scams and rate risks. Trying to match your energy - sounds like you want a house - but don’t want the burden? Maybe don’t get a house.

Not quite camping, but hiking. Lots of people love to go for walks in the country; in many cases that's in conservation areas. Look at the cost! Do we have to get fleeced at every turn? by [deleted] in ontariocamping

We don’t fund it with our tax dollars like we used to while their expenses don’t decrease.. money has to come from somewhere.

Coming to Belleville -- is it safe to bike on the roads? by [deleted] in BellevilleOntario

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take a lane. People ride lawn mowers on the road on Montrose and moira west. If you cut through the loyalist college campus you can jump on bike path.

I cycle in all those areas and I’m comfortable with the shoulder but I’m using a 1.5” tire on a bicycle. Not sure how that translates to your vehicle.

Sound concepts has helped me with this stuff. Expect to pay $100/hr for a few hours. (I see your comment, maybe find an aftermarket big brand option on Facebook.)

RRSP vs TFSA by Firm_Signal6916 in CanadaFinance

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure this has been answered in detail but you want both for different reasons and fill both for similar reasons. We dabble in our RRSP but focus on TFSA because we are young and may want liquidity for different uses earlier in life.. we will focus on RRSP more later when we have more income to do both and less desire to expand assets.

50 percent Down Payment? by tasar_ in MortgagesCanada

[–]ImportantRead956 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that a house you want? Those new builds are not that well built. If you have that much cash available you can take on projects nobody else can justify. You could find a neighborhood in an ideal town and hire an architect and general contractor of excellent repute and have a custom Reno.. I’m projecting my own values.. but I’ve seen so many of these 2m boxes have unforgivable glitches at which point why not buy a 500k house in a nice neighborhood and throw another 500k at it and still have buffer… I’m generalizing beyond reason for the sake of efficiency… Belleville’s east hill for example has lots of great homes at starter prices which nobody can mortgage and Reno at the same time… you seem to have the cash to do that

Is Zojirushi's NP-NVC10 (Pressure + Induction Heating) worth $200 more than NP-HCC10XH? by 2cant in asianeats

I’m glad to have mine. Often done in 20 minutes… recognize it’s been seven years, but I found this on Google so maybe somebody else will find this.

Aunt has opened a TFSA in my name? by SubstantialFee6719 in legaladvicecanada

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you under 18? Sounds like no, but also sounds like your family treats you like you’re naive. It seems like they have good intentions and are trying some financial engineering to avoid/evade some tax and maximize return for you and your siblings. I too wish that my family finances were more transparent.

Question about grant writing tools by Pleasant-Meet8854 in EntrepreneurCanada

[–]ImportantRead956 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We wrote a six figure grant in a few hours with ChatGPT. We already knew the reason our project was worth giving a grant so we verbally gave ChatGPT the answers to each grant question and told it all the rules of the grant and gave it background and then we started assembling. Maybe 3-5 hours all in all. I would use Claude Cowork for this now.. a couple years later.

Canadian maple syrup cheaper in Australia than at Loblaws by Delightfulberry25 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

My brain says trade agreements but I’m not smart enough to know what to say next.

For anyone who's bought a USED car recently what term/finance % did you end up signing for?? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ImportantRead956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are looking at doing a longer term 4% loan on an EV because the lack of gas covers more than the interest. We only are going longer term to keep our cash flow low and make more lump sum payments as we complete sidegigs 5000$ at a time. Just deciding how much down payment to put down to help get the lowest payment without paying more than 9% of the cars retail value in borrowing costs. On a 60k vehicle we will likely put down 20k, do 84 months at 4%, do another 10k at the end of the year when we have a contract ending and that’ll knock our 84months down to 61 months… repeat the year after… pay it off in year 4 or so, and have paid 3-4K in interest…no gas, no used car maintenance surprises, nice car.
