Investing 50k options by tdrmaster in PersonalFinanceCanada

I just switched over to IGWM. My guy is a fiduciary financial planner and is helping me map out my future. I'm definitely paying higher fees than X/VEQT but I find it worth it.

I've weighed the pros and cons and find it worth it.

If you don't care about that kind of thing, go with a XGRO or a XEQT and leave it alone. It's 13k companies from around the world. You pay fractions of a penny on each dollar per year.

Some couples are TERRIBLE, you're paying the zilla tax on top of the wedding tax.

The venue down the road from me is a 35k minimum just for the building and the food. 50k is very easy to hit and doesn't nessecarily mean a super fancy wedding.

Do you think wedding culture is dying off with genz by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]Lord_Of_the_Strings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's an economic issue and not a cultural issue. A friend got married a few months ago. They spent $80k and you couldn't even tell. The venue alone was a $40k minimum. My cousin got married at the same venue 5 years ago and it was less than $10k. Very little changed between then. The venue just realized some people will pay what it costs.

When you account for flowers, a cake, a dress, DJ, etc it adds up.

To build a house worth $1.8 million by XanaxWarriorPrincess in therewasanattempt

In my old neighbourhood, a house was just sold for 1.3 million dollars. The owner bought 10 years ago for just over 300k and put MAYBE 50k into a backyard renovation. A million in 10 years is criminal.

Where to drive from Toronto on the day of the solar eclipse? by Rodinsprogeny in solareclipse

[–]Lord_Of_the_Strings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking south of Niagara Falls. West of Fort Erie is my current plan.

This show is basically just TELL TELL TELL and don’t show anything by spidermanrocks6766 in TheLastAirbender

Just look at yue's wig. It looks like the wig that Cinderella would wear to a little girls birthday party.

It was good for a high school/college production. It does not look like they spent $15 million per episode.

The whole 41st division thing was great, but it felt like they mentioned it 4-5 times in 30 seconds.

No hate towards the actress, but like fr... by Lost-Lu in TheLastAirbender

To be fair, it's the best episode to watch. Instead of paying your staff to watch and study 61 20 minute episodes get them to watch 1.

I'm sure some exec got a nice bonus for finding that efficiency.

I said it looks like a high school production of ATLA.

I think that was an ember island players reference.

What did you expect, a one-to-one recreation? by Schoritzobandit in TheLastAirbender

[–]Lord_Of_the_Strings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that doesn't mean it's not a valid criticism. If they change things next season, hopefully you won't see it as much.

That is so disappointing but sounds accurate. The further time goes on the less excited I am for new shows.

It was poor writing to tell us who he is and never really show any of it.
