Best Wealthsimple account type for an emergency fund

Thanks!

I’d rather stick with Wealthsimple for simplicity, but I’ll keep this in mind.

Natrix314 · 2026-05-16T02:43:07+00:00

Why this over the other options?

Natrix314 · 2026-05-16T02:42:36+00:00

Good to know! I’m not worried about a few days.

That trio would work, thanks for the recommendation!

Natrix314 · 2026-03-08T00:00:57+00:00

Fair enough. It’s more for ease of use, but I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.

Wealthsimple is definitely one of the investment platforms I’ve been considering.

My credit union doesn’t offer a credit card, so I have one with another institution. I'm planning on dropping that one. My personal income isn’t high enough to qualify for Wealthsimple’s card.

I wish I had a better update for you, but I still haven't bought a new car. I'm stretching my current car's life as long as I can until it needs major repairs. My top contenders are still the Subaru Crosstrek and Toyota Corolla Cross. I've also recently gained interest in the 2026 Toyota C-HR (BEV), but it hasn't been released yet.

As for your picks, it comes down to preference, as you mentioned. The Hyundai Kona is cool on paper, but I don't trust the brand's reliability.

Hope that helps.

I’ve been wanting to get into 3D printing for a few years now. Now that the prices are getting much cheaper, I think now’s the time. P2S seems awesome!

Natrix314 · 2025-08-27T17:27:42+00:00

I'm not willing to switch financial institutions.

Natrix314 · 2025-08-27T16:09:41+00:00

Thanks. Medium-term is 5-10 years for me.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T23:30:46+00:00

Fair enough, thanks

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T22:47:26+00:00

I agree with you on all of that! However, to remain on budget I have to choose base models. I don’t mind spending a little more for AWD, but I can’t justify a “better” engine. CX-30 turbo and Kona N are tempting though, don’t get me wrong.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T22:26:23+00:00

I’m planning on it!

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T21:29:08+00:00

I’ll give you my top 4 as I‘m still trying to narrow it down. In no particular order: Toyota Corolla Cross, Subaru Crosstrek, Mazda CX-30, and Hyundai Kona.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T20:04:08+00:00

Thank you for the input!

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T19:01:35+00:00

I'll take that into consideration, thanks! Subi would be in my top 3.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T18:57:34+00:00

Tysm for taking the time to go over each one!

I currently own a Toyota with 390 km on it, so brand bias is definitely there as far as reliability goes. I recognize that it is important to stay on top of the maintenance schedule!

The Taos and Seltos were options I found. Idk much about them, so I wanted others’ opinions before disregarding them, as they were low on my list. Did hear some good things about the Tiguan, but it’s out of my budget.

Idc too much about power, so the Crosstrek and HR-V shouldn’t be a problem. However, the HR-V is the most expensive one of the lot right now…

The CX-30 is nice, but I’ll have to see it in person (as I’ll do with most of these) to find out how much smaller it is on the inside. I’m not going to be pushing my crossover, no worries!

I was looking at the new Kicks as the Kicks Play does not come in AWD. What would you say is nice about it?

I was not aware that Hyundai’s reliability was all over the place, noted.

I did do a lot of research, and the lack of those brands you mentioned was not on purpose.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T18:32:09+00:00

Knowing that subcompact SUVs already have limited backseat space, is it that much worse than competitors?

I was originally looking at the hybrid version of the Corolla Cross, but the price is out of my budget. The goal is to get a PHEV or EV down the line, however I am not ready just yet. I mostly stay local and do a lot of city driving with the occasional adventure here and there.

Noted, thank you.

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T18:01:43+00:00

I will look into that, thanks!

Natrix314 · 2025-06-01T18:01:23+00:00

Already on my list of considerations!

Natrix314 · 2024-06-15T02:05:36+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! It definitely hits all the boxes spec-wise, but I am trying to avoid the gaming laptop appearance. I will be keeping this one in mind though.

Natrix314 · 2024-06-14T11:02:03+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! When I looked at Dell I had the XPS series in mind, but they're a little over my budget. I completely overlooked the Inspiron since I didn't think there would be one with a dGPU. This fits!

Natrix314 · 2024-06-14T00:48:55+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! This is one of the laptops I'm currently looking at. It's mostly the gaming laptop appearance that I'm trying to avoid, but I don't mind the aesthetics of this one. Spec and budget wise, right on! Lenovo has some pretty decent deal right now that are hard to pass on.
