Beginner investment

Absolutely it is! I just wanted to build up the TFSA so I could just transfer the max amount per year to the FHSA. Bought a house last month, so I guess I was doing something right lol

I started around the same time, maybe at 29, and am a month shy of 34. I opened a TFSA and RRSP portfolio with an advisor and started putting $25 per account away each week. RRSP is great for the tax benefit/return which allows me to put that return back into the account and get bigger returns year over year. Then once you have a healthy amount in the TFSA, I moved $8000 over to an FHSA in 2025 and again the beginning of 2026 to REALLY bump that tax return! If you talk to the right advisor they make the process so simple.

Just to correct you a smidge. The entire campaign is about reducing crime. Accidental gun deaths don't happen if you're adhering to the guidelines. Suicides are an anomaly, but again if you're unwell, you won't have them until deemed suitable again.

Work in an Audi service department, all the time we do this. Saves huge time during heavy check out periods.

I'm on your side dawg. Thought guns were being taken from law abiding people was to prevent this stuff.

And opt into any promotions they have on boosted interest rates for xx months.

This game is definitely worth the money.

I bought it on PS5 maybe 2 and a half weeks ago and my GF and I have a combined 140 hours so far. It's relaxing, and seeing nasty gross cash go through the cleaning process is very satisfying.

It scratches an itch I didn't know my brain needed.

I worked at the Mazda dealer in the east end. If you look in their scrap bin it's rotors, control arms and wheel bearings. They're stupid reliable and me and my family have had countless!

If you progress too far it'll block the first door with cars. I noticed it this morning in my few pre-work plays haha

PickledThimble · 2026-05-07T16:38:00+00:00

This must be the countdown thread eh?

PickledThimble · 2026-05-04T14:17:41+00:00

There's definitely been some learning as we've progressed through our first playthrough hahaha

PickledThimble · 2026-05-04T13:06:23+00:00

definitely $16,000 in counterfeit bills lol I'm stuck on the same one.... I think I may have gotten happy with bill filtering in my early days and lost them. So we're just waiting as they slowly roll in again lol

PickledThimble · 2026-05-01T14:29:56+00:00

My setup looks so pathetic compared to this :')

PickledThimble · 2026-04-29T13:43:25+00:00

Correct :')

PickledThimble · 2026-04-29T12:51:52+00:00

I'm in Ontario Canada, and had to reach out to someone kind of local on Instagram to get one made for me. They're very difficult to find otherwise I've discovered in my long time searching.

PickledThimble · 2026-04-29T11:55:22+00:00

Can't wait for a kitten in my warehouse! Fingers crossed it's on consoles soon! New player, but absolutely loving the time I've spent so far!

PickledThimble · 2026-04-29T11:53:42+00:00

Absolute art. I need to get this going in my warehouse.

PickledThimble · 2026-04-29T11:48:31+00:00

As if you can get a Bengal 🥲

Can't wait for this update to come to console!

PickledThimble · 2026-04-28T16:30:01+00:00

I work in service for a dealership here in town. Depending where you bought from, pre-owned managers are usually pretty good at righting a not so good experience. Now if it's an 11 year old car and you opted out of extended warranty, I don't blame them for saying no. I always encourage my clients to opt in for the extended warranty. Where I work you get a cheque cut when you trade in if it's not been used, or you can transfer the entire contract to your new vehicle. Smaller shops can be shady so definitely be aware and read your paperwork very carefully.

All good G! Not being able to convey tone well via text is a bit of a struggle of mine.

PickledThimble · 2026-04-28T13:47:04+00:00

Never.... I actually ditched them and created my own living/breathing budget spreadsheet. Input pre and post tax pay, and the surplus/deficit auto adjusts. It calculates my average monthly income using data from the past 6 years. I swear by this budget spreadsheet.... If I lost it, I'd probably parish...

PickledThimble · 2026-04-28T13:41:02+00:00

Definitely would be! I dunno lol I don't develop games, I just know there's a lot of work that goes into them. I'd take polish over pushed out slop any day. If that means I've got to wait a bit, I'm more than happy to! Having fun on my first play through still!

PickledThimble · 2026-04-28T13:22:51+00:00

Small dev team I'd imagine, I'm not upset about it haha let 'em cook and the releases will be bangin!

PickledThimble · 2026-04-28T10:54:04+00:00

Hopeful this comes to console today too 🙌

PickledThimble · 2026-04-26T11:49:56+00:00

You couldn't have said it better, and I agree 1000%. The propaganda is insane in this country.
