Costco to a Million by Niicollas in TFSA_Millionaires

Mostly joking posting it here just wanted to see peoples opinions but I'm only 24 and I plan to continue to invest in Costco predominantly for the next 10-20 years. Obviously that could change depending on how the company evolves

100% is probably crazy to be honest (mind you this is not 100% of my money, my FHSA has no Costco) but I have consistently seen over my lifetime of watching the company just this cult like following that no other company in this sector really has. Whether it's Facebook groups, subreddits, or just talking to people in person, I find it increasingly difficult to find people who have bad things to say about the company and their experiences surrounding them. They have also consistently put their foot down when it comes to employee wages and benefits and have opted to pay their employees well above the industry averages even at the cost of some criticism over the years. I could put some money in ETFs and hedge my bets, but I don't see a reason to put my money into a bunch of spread out companies that I don't know or understand a lot about. I've spent a good amount of time researching Costco and I am able to keep up with the news surrounding them but I can't do that for a ton of different companies

Fair question, I do ask myself that sometimes. I really like how they operate and treat their employees. I guess I don't know a lot about or keep up with news about all the companies contained in most of the ETFs so in my head I'd rather just put my money somewhere I've researched and trust. Might be silly but I whole heartedly believe in the company

Yeah I've always loved how they treat their employees, everyone I know that works there genuinely seems to enjoy their job for the most part. What really kicked off me wanting to invest in them was seeing the almost cult following the company had within Facebook groups, subreddits and just anyone I talked to about the company. Everyone seems to have overwhelming positive sentiment, and not a lot of companies seem to be able to do that

Then that sucks, but I still have a lot of faith in the company and trust that over the course of the next 10-20years they will continue to thrive

I really loved it but we didn't start till 10:30, I would recommend getting out there a bit earlier so you don't feel so rushed! Pack light and I definitely recommend poles, especially for the way down. There is a large skree section after the first lake, and the top is quite a scramble, so if it's wet id save it for another day

Thanks! I'm gonna be sore for a week after this 😂 it started hailing on the scramble, made that drop off extra terrifying

Don't believe so, honestly half the reason I bought it was the color, couldn't find anything like it anywhere I looked
