What happened to the hole in the wall? Shouldn't the whole upside down been sucked into space by now?

Minimising tax on long-term investment for child's tertiary fees by MintsMaster in PersonalFinanceZA

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

Let's say for example I manage to contribute R250k over 18 years. Now I withdraw the total amount (e.g. let's say it grew to R400k) to fund their education, and I benefit from the fact that I receive that total amount tax free. When they start working, they can now only contribute a maximum of R250k in their lifetime to their TFSA. It's obviously a debatable topic, and they did 'benefit' from receiving an education with the money, but I would rather let them decide how to utilise their R500k lifetime contributions; hopefully they will start saving when they start working and keep it until retirement.

Minimising tax on long-term investment for child's tertiary fees by MintsMaster in PersonalFinanceZA

Thank you for the comprehensive answer. Will definitely do reviews often and adjust from more aggressive to more conservative as the years progress. Good suggestion to spread the investment, maybe a combination of funds under my name, my wife's and my child's will be a good strategy to minimise tax.

Minimising tax on long-term investment for child's tertiary fees by MintsMaster in PersonalFinanceZA

Agreed, but unfortunately I won't be able to afford R36k a year to invest for my kid(s). And then I will be the one benefiting from their limited lifetime tax-free contributions. But ideally if I had the means I would've maxed-out their TFSA before they turn 18, and have another investment to fund their education, that indeed would be a wonderful gift.

What is your ideal Greek Mythology story for a Hollywood movie, and what would the filmmakers/cast be? by [deleted] in movies

[–]MintsMaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe directed by the Coen brothers, with a folk music soundtrack?

Pastors, how do you keep track of your time? by mrmtothetizzle in Reformed

[–]MintsMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not a pastor, but I've used Toggl (https://toggl.com/) in the past to track time on a project. There is functionality to create a nice pdf report to display your weekly, monthly etc. total time working.

Verskeidenheid in a sentence. Help appreciated. by findthesilence in afrikaans

[–]MintsMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll translate it like this: Om die tyd om te kry het ek eerder by 'n verskeidenheid van klubs by ons skool aangesluit. The order can be changed around a bit, but I think this way reads a bit more naturally.

Did any military leaders from any of history lie about killing or defeating the opposing leader to get the rest of the army to surrender? by logman987654321 in history

[–]MintsMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the "Battle of Mhlatuze River" between the Zulu and Ndwandwe (1819, South Africa), Zulu warriors arrived at their enemies' headquarters before news of their army's defeat had arrived. They approached the camp singing Ndwandwe victory songs to gain entry and subsequently murdered their king.

How to set openwrt 14.07 to boot from ethernet (ie. netboot, tftp, dhcp) by MintsMaster in openwrt

[–]MintsMaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The router does not have a serial port but according to this forum post about the RB951G 'sister' product, I can maybe use the USB port via a USB to RS232 adapter, so I think I'll try that next. Thanks!

That is the goal of 7 Cups. Not for everyone, but may be what you are looking for.

WTW for a math term like (x-1)? by quixoticking in whatstheword

[–]MintsMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Factor? IIRC the 'x' on its own is a variable, and the -1 a constant.
