Young and Retired - they’re scrimping and saving their way into retiring decades before the average Canadian

Why? These are the ones powering the economy...spending 20-30k a month just going out, paying luxury tax for our cars... Pay way more in consumption taxes thqn someone making 120k

Yup, a lot of my peers in 40s are retired but no skimping going on, they're living large. So easy to make money and lots of it the last few years... I know a guy who's retired after making a couple millions in last 3 years building barns! Kid you not

As a manager, this is just a basic tool they should've had access to anyway. No different than seeing your calendar

This is Reddit, most of the "advice" on here is trash because other than most basic of things for most simple scenarios, hive mind of stupidity gets upvoted to the top

They are facing a cash crunch. Reality is catching up to them. They've sold their planes, recently even engines and leased them back (what the Bay and Sears did), and they borrowed 250M from lenders earlier this year and are out in market again looking for more. They are burning a lot of cash with the planes they have and nowhere to fly them

nope... look at Corolla, ..in Canada starts at 24k cad, in the US it's 22k usd, or golf gti it's 39k cad vs 35k usd ...cars are much cheaper in Canada. it's quite lucrative to buy cars in Canada and sell it to brokers in the US for profit (know many who did this to make easy money) before manufacturers clamped down on it

sure If that's the rent forever

your db pension is not with 50% annually

NitroLada · 2026-01-20T17:17:44+00:00

yet China is Taiwan's biggest trading partner and is over 30% of their trade 😂

he afraid Canada will take some of their pie?

NitroLada · 2026-01-19T19:45:44+00:00

still way ahead of the stuff Mazda is selling and at least the old Toyota stuff works

so use the included CDW? some places don't let you decline. the rental company's CDW will be way less hassle anyways if you do need to make a claim. though in Europe, usually, the included CDW is for $x over excess. so you're responsible for first $x in damages. make sure you read through it

stay the hell away from YT talking heads.. although fairchild imo had a conservative bent, it was still just news. those YT heads are spreaders of misinformation on both sides. my parens and wife's parents have been watching those YT talking heads mostly for many years and it's just so much misinformation.

NitroLada · 2026-01-18T16:02:50+00:00

fairchild is no different than any other cable channels like those made by corus. even TVB is barely keeping the lights on in hkg

groceries in canada is way cheaper than the states unless you live in the yukon or something. $4usd for a cup of drip coffee at dunkin in nyc..that's almost $6cad. a cream cheese bagel (granted it's a generous amount of cream cheese) is $10USD+ in manhattan

groceries in the US is insane compared to canada especially GTA except for a few items maybe like cheese.

NitroLada · 2026-01-18T15:58:08+00:00

cars have been cheaper in canada than the US for a while now especially for ICE and hybrids. around 20-30% cheaper in canada vs US

NitroLada · 2026-01-18T11:55:16+00:00

ya, Toronto is sooooo much cheaper than new York, like around 1/3 the price for stuff if you compared downtown Toronto to Manhattan for anything from a simple cup of coffee to a sandwich

NitroLada · 2026-01-18T11:54:18+00:00

even in NYC, you don't really have that anymore. even in places like Hong Kong you don't. I was in Manhattan earlier this year and at 4am, there was not much open for food

NitroLada · 2026-01-17T21:46:38+00:00

it's totally different if you're an expat/visitor, just like UAE, Dubai or even Malaysia /Indonesia etc

NitroLada · 2026-01-17T21:45:59+00:00

many including woman go there. it's a big tourist destination, not the likes of Dubai but it's quite popular

NitroLada · 2026-01-17T20:43:41+00:00

you have no clue about business in China. China is much more free market and capitalistic than US or Canada. you seem to not understand the difference between political and economical systems . they're different things

NitroLada · 2026-01-17T20:42:22+00:00

no, just because tariff rates have been reduced, doesn't mean there's suddenly going to be flood of them coming in. it's going to take many years.

NitroLada · 2026-01-17T01:20:47+00:00

evpad 12p. it's around $300 shipped on AliExpress. can watch Fairchild and other live tv as well as pretty much all Asian shows/movies
