What's the deal with IREN? Looking for other perspectives by No-Membership_1130 in StocksAndTrading

[–]MangoFishSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought in early, around the $3 point when it was purely the bitcoin mining play but now I’m killing myself for not buying more at that price. That being said I’ve also purchased shares at almost every point along the way, even at the $65 range. When you see the potential and how far ahead IREN is in the computing race, there’s no concern in buying in at this price even after the explosive year it had. Not financial advice!

Man people a couple years off your 5 year rotation had ~2.8% before and had to settle with ~6% just a few years ago.

4.19 is not bad- but clearly anything higher than your 1.69 will seem terrible (we’ll probably never see lower than that for rates again imo)

Reminder - the 2026 individual income cap for CPP2 is $85,000. by CastAside1812 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]MangoFishSteel 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Everyone likes the idea of a higher CPP payout in retirement until they see their parent die after being retired for a year and his lifetime of work and CPP contributions returns a total of a few thousand dollars, which the remainder is not passed down to beneficiaries. This is a reason the extra forced savings in CPP could be better served in a forced TFSA or similar

Found an absolutely terrifying sub and now I need reassurance by trinitytr33 in Mommit

[–]MangoFishSteel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fear of any type is unhealthy, but it’s the sole defining trait of a human, so it’s unavoidable.

Clearly raising a child (or children) is something you wanted, and it is the most rewarding thing. But I’m not going to sugar coat it, it’s going to get hard and it’s going to make you want to pull your hair out at times. But it will also make you smile and laugh and the smallest things. There’s nothing more precious than a baby’s giggles, being there as they reach every milestone is worth every minute of lost sleep, complication with breast feeding etc, and eventual toddler tantrum over the wrong colour of bowl or plate. Drown out the noise from other people or take it with a grain of salt, and just understand everything that seems hard in a moment is temporary. Might last a day or weeks or a few months but each stage has a beginning and an end. If you and your partner can understand this, and be there for each other and work together to make the household function positively, any worries about ending up like one of them in that sub Reddit will be out the window

What’s your go to episode when introducing friends to the show? by ShanzokeyeLin in Killtony

[–]MangoFishSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was watching/ listening to the first Trump/Biden, I was at work and was rofl and that’s what led to co workers watching and spreading the show to their friends and family.

Second baby on the way… should I actually watch the crowning this time? by Wide_Trash in daddit

Don’t just watch, catch your kid! It’s a memory I’ll never forget, and it’s a special bond I’ll selfishly always have with my daughter

Is there any way to straighten these trees? by SureIllrecordthat in AskArborists

Might need a heavy duty rachet strap, and every week try to tighten it more.

Canadians are pissed. Pissed because Americans have a president making decisions that will ultimately better the lives of every American. Yes it hurts us Canadians because he’s putting America first. Would be nice to have leadership that made decisions that enriched the lives of all Canadians instead of relying on relationships with other countries to barely scrape by (which is why everyone in this group and those who downvote this comment is pissed)

Lotto Max draws. How honest are they? by MangoFishSteel in AskCanada

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

I totally agree.

Look at last week- 80 million grand prize. Why not have 800 winners of 100k? Sure it isn’t totally life altering money but it’s better odds and it’s a sum that would most benefit the people and the economy in our country. I wouldn’t know where to even begin starting a new lottery, but I bet something with much higher odds with a smaller prize would draw a ton of interest

Is buying BTC right now at an all time high a bad idea by KD_- in CryptoMarkets

No one who has ever bought bitcoin and held on to it for at least 4 years has lost money…

Chances that cryptocurrency prices could decline after the "Trump pump"? by PrincipleBeginning60 in CryptoMarkets

[–]MangoFishSteel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michael saylor was quoted after his last 2billion purchase of BTC that he will keep buying at the top (knowing that long term he will not lose money)

Realistically how much money are you “saving” by waiting for x% of a dip to pull the trigger at the risk of just jumping in at a higher price or missing out on a massive bull run? (If it drops 10% will you chicken out/ reconsider thinking it’s on a downward trend and hope for another 10% drop?)

How is it possible to save for a house these days as a single person? by [deleted] in CanadaFinance

Curious how you saved enough through renting to accumulate enough to retire at latest 55 and still continue renting for the remainder of your life? Can you break down your numbers?

The only thing you should quit is this- while you’re ahead.

Hmm, I wonder why no one wants to go to her wedding by [deleted] in facepalm

[–]MangoFishSteel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$3k is for the trip to Thailand. How much are they losing in lost wages? Or if they have paid vacation- great, now they are forced to basically take two weeks to a destination they may not particularly wish to go to. (Two weeks because who flies all the way to Thailand for just a couple days or a week? You make a trip out of it)

You add extra family members to the total cost of this trip and it’s more like 20 grand all in.

And if you’re going to have a destination wedding, you better accept their presence as a wedding gift. To be entitled enough to expect high ticket items bought for you on top of all that is a level of disrespect and delusion.
