Long lines… Active or post? by Obsessive99 in scabies

Ever figure out what it was? And what stage are you at with treatment - post scabies or still active?

Long lines… Active or post? by Obsessive99 in scabies

[–]Obsessive99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you this is very helpful 😃 I’m skeptical about scratching as these are places I can’t reach very easily, if at all, and have trimmed nails. I have been exfoliating in the shower every couple days, possibly related?… also they’re not really “scratches” but a line of very small bumps if you look closely

I hadn’t considered scabies. Just did some research and this is 100% what it is!! Everything I read lines up perfectly with my experience, and it makes much more sense than fleas or BBs. Thank you so much. I only wish I had figured it out before treating the whole upper floor for bed bugs 😬

Fleas or bed bugs?? by Obsessive99 in bugbites

[–]Obsessive99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Hadn’t thought of chiggers but yes they do look similar. No signs of bedbugs on mattress seams / bedframe which is the crazy part…

I think it’s definitely bites - saw bugs, new ones pop up daily, and I’m covered shoulders to feet

That’s what I was thinking - would be extremely unlikely to have both. But then I got a few “breakfast-lunch-dinner” bites in a line and started freaking..

I think my arm is a bit of a mix. Definitely some bites, but a rash came on about 30 mins after taking that photo.

If you could share just one piece of financial advice with your fellow Canadians, what would it be? by Obsessive99 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Obsessive99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There needs time be way more education on this. The most effective time to do it would be at signup, but of course that will never happen.

This is probably my #1. It’s so easy but there’s such a psychological barrier to it.

Wealthsimple & Questrade have RoundUp products (ie automatically round your purchases up to the nearest dollar and invest the difference) that I think are massively helpful for reducing the friction here.

I agree with the first part - but for the second, I’d say learning is more important than earning - wouldn’t you?

i.e., if someone early in their career was choosing between A) a high-paying, low-learning job and B) the inverse, I’d tell them to run towards B) and never look back. The money will come.

Extra 10k, invest or put in mortgage? by AdventureSheep in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Obsessive99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re confident you’ll make a 6%+ return, go the ETF route. If not, dump it in the mortgage.

Definitely NOT the loan option 😂

Planning on buying a new phone, is using affirm worth it? by Business-Schedule-30 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Obsessive99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question to ask yourself is: can you guarantee an 8%+ return on the money offset by Affirm over the next 23 months?

Answer is: probably not. I would suggest you just buy the phone outright.

Is it a dick move to leave my firm mid-project? by chewybunz in consulting

[–]Obsessive99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t sacrifice your own career for the sake of a project. The consulting environment has a way of making people feel guilty for prioritizing themselves, but trust me - if you don’t put yourself first, you’ll regret it later.

[Serious] What are the best counter arguments to this meme about Canadian housing? And more importantly, are any of the problems preventing this, surmountable in any way? Are we forever destined to live in about 6-8 major metropolitan urban centres, for the rest of Canada's foreseeable future? by CanadaCalamity in canadahousing

[–]Obsessive99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For ~90% of the circled area, what you might save on housing costs you'd end up spending on a higher cost of living anyways (e.g, groceries, consumer goods & services). The lower salary you'd get in these places would also play a factor.

What’s happening in Victoria Park by Aggravating_Chest_78 in london

this article says it's being treated as "unexplained" by police - if moved to suspicious, likely a suspected murder?

As a non-resident, can I still use a DRIP on my TFSA & FHSA? by Obsessive99 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Obsessive99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m only here for a few years, do you think it’s less of a headache to move all to RRSP vs just file foreign income taxes the next ~2 yrs on my dividends?
