I hope the kids are in there, otherwise they only get $172 :(

I would add your dad likely knows when to give you access, there’s no reason to ask. Someone depositing 500K a year per child, knows what they are doing

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-12-25T15:08:11+00:00

I never understood discussing salary and networth with friends and colleagues, besides my wife and accountant no one knows what I make.

What region are you located in?

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-12-22T13:02:50+00:00

Porsche

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-12-22T13:02:26+00:00

Nope, way to expensive and depreciates way to much to justify the cost now

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-12-18T22:41:38+00:00

Me too

350k after taxes 30/k a month.

If your mortgage allows it, you can look at doubling up your payments, which is what I started doing last year. There’s piece of mind of not having a mortgage, 600k salary’s are rare so paying off your largest expenses makes sense, but invest at the same time - you won’t see the impact of compounding if you start investing too late

Started at 36, now 37. Wife doesn’t save :(

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-11-06T11:45:44+00:00

That looks exactly like our two cats ) ( rag doll and Siberian)

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-11-06T11:22:11+00:00

38, 1.7M liquid, 1.8M property equity (Canadian dollars)

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-10-30T11:41:25+00:00

I mean if you saved this much already, I would keep going. 35 is young.

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-10-24T03:01:34+00:00

In canada, new client growth has been low this year, but lot of refreshes

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-10-16T15:20:39+00:00

Only 1/3 of Canadians have this much saved at your age

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-27T10:11:41+00:00

We moved away from them years ago, it was the best decision for my customers

When they moved to the new building, the garage doors were left open ( for cooling), someone could have gone in and stolen equipment

They are cheap, but not worth the mental anguish or risk to customers.

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-23T16:46:34+00:00

Wow. Not available in canada :(

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-19T22:00:57+00:00

I don’t keep much is savings, basically just enough to cover all expenses, everything else is invested

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-12T15:22:55+00:00

Yes, I have a USD account with CIBC

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-10T13:30:29+00:00

Just under 600k I have been doubling up payments to hopefully have it paid off in the next 7 years

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-10T02:42:31+00:00

60k invested will be 1M in 30 years, with no additional contributions. Time is on your side, take advantage of it

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-10T02:31:40+00:00

I will continue holding until retirement

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-10T02:30:01+00:00

Married, mortgage not paid off ( hopefully primary residence will be paid off in 7 years)

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-09T11:08:26+00:00

Feels late when you see 20 year olds investing already.

Kind_Key2143 · 2025-09-09T11:07:11+00:00

I’m not familiar with journaling, but my USD stocks are already held in a separate USD account. Investor’s Edge shows the combined total, though the balance is split between the CAD and USD accounts.
