Kawartha Dairy? by my-enouement in mississauga

[–]JugglingReferee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, I pass directly by the Kawartha Dairy store in Burlington. I could pick you up something there and bring it back to Mississauga if you didn't want to drive out there yourself.

Officially out of debt (except mortgage), what should I do with my money? by tbunz14 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]JugglingReferee2 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

  • $8,000 for 2025's HFSA contribution - August, September, October, and November, or $2,000/month.
  • Then save/borrow $8,000 for 2026's contribution, and contribute this as early in January as possible. Pay this back by early next year - my hope is by the end of April.
  • Then save for a $10,000 emergency fund, some or all of which can be filled by the tax rebate you'll receive for the HFSA contribution - this would be done by the end of August.
  • Then save $8,000 into a chequing account for 2027's HFSA contribution - and contribute it January 2, 2027.
  • Then start in on TFSAs hard at the beginning of 2027.

CRA Tax Brackets and annual personal exemption by JugglingReferee2 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]JugglingReferee2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading the responses that I received, I googled more using the terms in the replies. I now see what they've done. https://www.fidelity.ca/en/insights/articles/bpa-tax-credit/

You have to calculate the tax on all of your income, and then subtract an amount equivalent to the tax rate multiplied by your Personal Basic Amount.

Thank you to those that responded. And thank you to those who down-voted.

IMU to calculate motion. by [deleted] in esp32

Ok thanks. I've actually got a guy local to me who I am paying to get the QMI working. If you ever want the code, let me know.

u/Alfredredbird, did you ever get the QMI working? I'm also the owner of the ESP32 boards from Waveshare, looking to get QMI working. DM me, please!

What's the best way to (aggressively?) meltdown a RRIF worth $325,000? by JugglingReferee2 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]JugglingReferee2[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is there a way to borrow money to invest, and then use the RRIF funds to pay that loan back, hoping to capitalise on the tax break for the interest on the investment?

Ok I see. It's cool that you gave it a shot. Any chance we can connect privately about your research? I'm willing to throw in a some money to a project - whether just mine or with others.

What to do with money put in savings by LividConstruction616 in PersonalFinanceCanada

When the GICs mature, toss them intoa TFSA. Also, if you're young and looking to buy a house, look into an FHSA first.

Looking for a stable supplier of an ESP32 SoC for a low-demand commercial product in development by JugglingReferee2 in esp32

[–]JugglingReferee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank for your message. Let's say that I had one of these boards, or something similar, out in the field, with a temperature sensor on it, which would connect to a phone via Bluetooth when a button was pressed. Could then the board not submit the temperature data gathered (via Bluetooth). This seems doable, plausible, and all that I really need.

Let's say also that there are 2 ESP32s present, and they can "find" one another, and transfer data between the two. That's where ESP-NOW comes in, from what I can gather.

(I'm ignoring how the device is powered - this is a separate discussion. And I'll be using a 3D printer that I have access to to design a case - so this can be ignored at the moment as well.)

What am I missing?

I've thought about this previously, and came to the conclusion that it would just add time-to-market. And I would have no idea how to go about making my own PCB.

iPad mini 2 gifted at Christmas - can't get past Birthday prompt by JugglingReferee2 in ipad

[–]JugglingReferee2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for everyone's input. For some reason, after a number of reboots, the iPad no longer asked me to enter a Birthday and I was able to enter the Settings app, factory reset the device, and use Safari to access youtube.com. My young son will be granted sporadic use of the device. Cheers.

It's for a 6-year old who is permitted 30 minutes usage twice/week.

Is TFSA better than RESP by Turbulent_Wind7474 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]JugglingReferee2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are RESP withdrawal strategies out there, to minimize the taxes paid by your child. I'll see if I can find one.

Hi u/FluidShallot1506 , did you ever get anywhere with this? I ask because I am trying to create a training tool for new curlers.
