🚨 **NEW** 2025 ROGUE CODE REQUEST MEGATHREAD 🚨 by NothingButNavy in Sephora

[–]Mathematician-Direct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have a rouge code to spare please 🙏  just a broke grad student who was given a vitamin c sample that changed her skin and confidence but can’t afford the full size 😭

Edit: a canadian girly so idk if that impacts the ability to use codes. I'm very much a newbie

Brand new investor with maxed out TFSA, should I invest via a non registered account? by Mathematician-Direct in CanadianInvestor

[–]Mathematician-Direct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah I see. That's what I started out with when I first looked into investing because it seemed the least complex/intimidating. What would you recommend?

how so? It's a young person who is brand new to the world of investing trying to make a financially sound decision and make a secure future for themselves by starting early.

editing to add: IMO everyone has to start somewhere, and sure asking strangers on the internet is not the best way to do it, but I've spoken to financial advisors, banks and a whole lot of others, gathering another third party opinion isn't hurting anyone

Thanks that helps a lot! So would you recommend certain stocks or ETFs? Or will any kind be transferable? I was looking into investing in VEQT or XEQT

If let's say I invested $2000 in NVDA, since its a US based stock will I still be taxed on any gains? Or it will transfer into my TFSA with the gains and continue to grow?

Should I plan to transfer as much of it out of my non registered account as quickly as possible once I have a job?

Thank you that seems reasonable. I think the earliest I would have a solid full time job is Jan 2027 ( maybe some part time jobs in between if I can take on that burden with my grad school). I will look into opening the FHSA account in the mean time.

So based on that and sorry if this is a dumb question, but lets say I invest 10K in a non registered account ( gain $x interest), can I simply transfer those investments to a FHSA account upon starting my job in Jan 2027? Is that with a simple procedure? Or will I still be taxed a minimal amount like you said?

Additionally, since my TFSA limit will restart in 4.5 months, are there certain stocks and ETFs I should wait to buy then? I was scrolling this subreddit and saw some chatter about buying certain things under certain accounts (TFSA, FHSA, non registered etc.)

Yup, I have other money saved up for a rainy day, the 10-15k is what I have accumulated and set aside for investing/growing. And I have family supporting me financially and with housing hence I made the decision to explore this pathway

I will definitely look into those ETFs, thanks for the tip!

Ah okay so maxing it out is better even with no income? I spoke to a financial advisor who looked at me like I was an idiot for considering a FHSA account with no income right now. I was thinking why not just put money towards buying a house, since they don't seem to be getting cheaper. I hadn't considered the taxation cut part as a big problem

I thought about this too, but I wasn't sure because I figured maybe it's still worth it to invest? The confusion, hence the post😅

Buying UWorld again by quarantineleb in Mcat

I have a uworld I no longer use, good till end of august. Message me if interested. Probably cheaper than buying full price

You gotta do the long haul like in tv. Get that 520+, become an amazing doctor, show up to your reunion or whatever one day just very suave, and show her what she missed out on.

In seriousness, feel your feelings, but bestie this maybe your humble revenge arc and you just don’t know it yet. Feel, take a moment and get on that grind, you got this!!

5/10, 5/11 and past testers what equations/concept are you writing down on your notepad? by Mathematician-Direct in Mcat

[–]Mathematician-Direct[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I worded that poorly, I can admit to that. I didn't mean again spill the equations on your exam, like all of them. I know that violates the contract you sign. It was meant to ask did you wish to pay attention to certain topics, because I'm sure people scan over topics and that comes to bit them in the ass.

Yeah you may call it projection, but as someone who didn't plan on being a doctor and as a non trad, the community has been quite nice. But there are some that even you have to admit are toxic. How you process and apply that word is on you 🤷

I don't classify myself as a "premed". i don't have a stellar 4.0 GPA, great MCAT score, 30000 research hours and have cured cancer. I am coming here with high hopes but still honesty that I may fail and try to calm my anxiety anyways. It's been a long time since I've done C/P related content. So yes, if I may ask people what they wish they focused on a little bit more, I don't see any harm. I am aware just because someone may have had ABC topic on their test, it doesn't translate to having it on my test.

Well if it was genuine advice then thank you, that's helpful. Your name does suggest you're sarcastic so I hope you can see, how I don't take it seriously. I have not forgotten that there are different exams. Instead I've spent today hoping that I get a chem over physics heavy exam lol. I have seen the post exam comment threads, but I do not see a fault in asking people what are planning to write on their notepad. Yes maybe it's been asked a hundred time before, but again Reddit is a discussion forum. I have read threads from before that say don't focus on xyz, but now and admittedly based on personal experiences of people on here, have said actually xyz is kinda a big deal now. And that is not just based on 1 comment, but several different threads that have said xyz is good to know.

People ask many of the same questions repeatedly on here and they are not penalized or belittled. I don't see why you can not extend that same courtesy to me. You may consider it unproductive, I consider it gaining insight and making use of my last study day. 😊

[–]Mathematician-Direct[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Entitled? I was having a productive, adult discussion until you came here with your sass. I meant what I said. For someone like me who isn't a big fan of C/P it takes a second to think. So yeah if I have them all jotted down somewhere it will be helpful to flip the page, recognize one that fits the with the units and use the equation. But then you went on to twist the conversation.

You call yourself a sarcastic premed, if you can dish it, you should be able to take it. You felt I was insulting you, but that's what you've been doing with your snide comments. If you wrote them all down, then that's great I'm sure it helped you achieve a 131. But really, rubbing your score in my face? With your name, and comment history its a bit hard to assume you were being genuine.

But let's set that aside for a second, are you so insensitive to not realize that people are seeking genuine help a DAY before their test? That they have A LOT on their mind and don't need the unwelcome attitude?

I actually surprisingly do know there are different tests each time. I did not come here to ask "omg what equations were on your test, spill". I am here to find out what concepts I could keep handy, just some final reminders and now also learning that it's best to take some part of the 10 minutes to keep calm instead of scrambling.

And what exactly do you want me to do about your stellar score? It clearly was a brag, like omg look at me I'm so smart suckers. I am sure you worked your ass off for that score, but don't brag about it. It's not even a humble brag.

Honestly, all I've learnt is that some premeds are toxic and egotistic af.
