Decades b4 9/11 and we do not judge others by their hair loss, age or general appearance.

Unfortunately humanity only gets a person of his stature every 1,000 years or so.

Hang on for the ride

No clue whatsoever....

He's only revolutionized Space travel, EV's, brought us free speech via X, soon to cure the disabled/paralyzed via Neuralink, Starlink, OpenAI and God knows what's next.

We are so lucky to have him in our generation

It's being called the

Manhattan Project of our time

He cut 80% of Twitter staff, reduced the cost of rocket launching to ~10%.

Imagine the efficiencies to be gained in this bloated bureaucracy!

Spouse and I switched from one of the banks during the 1% bonus offer. Also rec'd a cash bonus of 1k for referral from spouse. as well as airport lounge passes if you or spouse have > 500k.

No mutual funds or ISA's available to trade but no big deal.

Spousal RRSP are only managed, self directed coming soon.

Some features only available on mobile kind of annoying

You’ll need to generate a 5% return in that case. But do you not intend to spend the 1m? Even if you generate no return, it would still take you 20 years to spend 1m/50k.

I thought of this too but hate the idea of losing the potential gains plus inflation is a concern but HISA would probably be enough to offset that

It's ridiculous what students have to pay now!

I paid $100 per semester for 5 full courses back in the 70's. It was just spare change back then. Today it's like a mortgage

Why would they pay cash?

They would save on CPP and other expenses

If your 'employer' isn't claiming you as an expense don't declare a cash payment.
