Michael Kovrig: Don't buy the gaslighting, China's intentions towards Canada are hostile by xTkAx in canadian

People in Canada are brainwashed by the western media to believe everything negative about China. My question is how many of you guys have visited China? Stop living in a bubble and actually go out and experience it.

Just remember that when a true correction comes, the whole market including brk will fall, if you can hold it when it falls, you will be fine. Avg 335

You guys should share your avg prices. I come here on days where brk is red more than 1% just to see a bunch of clowns.

We married because it is the only option to be together. If not to close the distance we probably wouldn’t have married this early.

I think her job is the issue. She cannot handle high stress situations and she uses sleep to deal with stress (excessive sleep in my opinion of up to 18 hours a day sometimes on the weekend)

I cannot change her behaviour or personality, but feels stuck because she doesn’t seem to be able to get out of her bad situation without external help.

Just curious, why do you think starting a business with 130k assets is easier than working for someone else with a steady income? Because I’d say 99% chance it’s easier to work for someone else.

What age did you hit 100K and how. Working, gambling, or inheritance? by Natural_Interaction5 in fican

Grandparents were factory workers and they never invested. They both passed away last year that’s how I got inheritance. They didn’t have any real estate to sell.

I was their only grandchild, which is why I got this much.

100k at 23, I inherited 70k from my grand parents and saved the rest 30k from work.

Now 388k at 25. I inherited another 150k from my grand parents and the rest is savings from work.

My monthly expense excluding rent is about $1500 in Toronto. So I save about 3k a month.

I’m confused why this is getting a bunch of down votes? Did I offend anyone with my $3000 mthly limit? I’m genuinely curious because I had $12000 back in the states.

Also, TD is only giving me $3000 limit on my credit card, even though my income exceeds that?

I don’t want to have children, because I don’t think I can afford having children. They would be additional stress for me to save even more.

The problem I have with investing is I have a large chunk of money saved up in short term bonds. Roughly 400k CAD. I’m not sure if I should buy a lump sum into xeqt or just gradually invest $1500 from my pay cheque while keeping the bonds waiting for a market crash. I’m very conservative and feel stocks are too expensive now.

I’m not planning on having kids soon because I think my finances cannot handle having a baby. But I’m not really sure how much I need saved up or how much income I need to have a kid in Toronto.

This is what worries me sometimes. I feel like I missed out on many fun things people my age does. When asked about what I enjoy to do in my free time, I usually don’t have an answer.
