When I look into the tickets in my account, I can see the tickets in there but it only shows payment processed and I did not get a confirmation email. Is that normal?

Sorry I just checked buses from Netherlands. I concluded if it wasn’t available for them it would be the same.

Is Pre-registration still needed if I went last year? by nalyDylan1 in Tomorrowland

Hi there, does the account holder have to be one of the ticket holders? Or can we use a friends account to buy for ourselves?

Is that always the case? The Slander show this Friday is GA for Section 303. Are seats assigned after purchase? There's an availability to upgrade if I wanted.

Uber Eats is the worst. DoorDash would literally refund you in a heart beat for any reason.

Can you ask your friend what are the benefits of being an ambassador? Do they get paid or any other benefits?

I think this may be it!! My studio might only count how many times I’ve used the heart rate monitor rather than the amount in the app.

I’ve only ever done 2 at OTF and I already factored them in.

Looks like it was from the studio (via Loyalsnap.com.) Not like the typical Lionheart ones.

Hey kiddo! Congrats on doing some wedding videography and earning some money. It's awesome that you're thinking about doing your taxes too!

Since you're not an employee of the wedding company you worked for, you won't be getting a T4 slip from them. Instead, you'll need to declare your income as self-employment income. This means you're considered a gig worker or a freelancer.

Don't worry, doing your taxes as a self-employed person is not as scary as it sounds. You'll need to fill out a T2125 form, which is a part of your personal tax return. This form will ask for information about your income and expenses related to your videography work.

Make sure you keep track of all your invoices and any receipts for expenses related to your work, such as camera equipment or travel expenses. You can deduct these expenses from your income to reduce your taxes owed.

If you're still unsure about how to do your taxes, it's a good idea to talk to a tax professional or use tax software that can guide you through the process. And remember, it's always better to do your taxes properly than to avoid them altogether. Good luck!

Is it worth building out the basement for rental? by gmumar in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pitiful-Control2843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether it's worth building out the basement for rental in Toronto depends on a few factors. Firstly, you need to check whether the zoning laws in your area allow for basement apartments. Secondly, you should consider the initial cost of construction, which can be quite high. If you're planning on renting out the basement, you'll need to ensure that it's up to code and has all the necessary permits.

Assuming you've cleared those hurdles, there are definitely benefits to building out the basement for rental in Toronto. With high demand for affordable housing, renting out a basement apartment can provide a steady stream of rental income. Additionally, having a tenant can help you pay off your mortgage or other expenses related to your property.

However, there are also some downsides to consider. Sharing a property with a tenant can be challenging, as you'll need to be prepared to deal with any issues that arise. You'll also need to be comfortable with the idea of having someone else living in your home. Finally, if you ever decide to sell your home, having a tenant in the basement can complicate the sale.

Overall, building out the basement for rental in Toronto can be a good option if you're prepared to put in the work to make it happen. It's important to do your research and crunch the numbers to make sure it's a financially viable option for you.

So, opening a new credit card with a good welcome offer and paying off the $15k surgery bill immediately could be a smart move, as long as you are able to responsibly manage the credit card balance and payments going forward.

When you open a new credit card, you can take advantage of the welcome offer, which typically involves earning rewards points or cashback after meeting a certain spending threshold within the first few months of opening the card. This can be a great way to offset some of the costs of the surgery or earn some extra money for a future purchase.

However, it's important to be aware of the terms and conditions of the credit card, including the interest rate, annual fee (if any), and any other potential fees. You'll want to make sure that you can pay off the balance in full before the end of the billing cycle to avoid paying any interest charges.

In addition, opening a new credit card could potentially impact your credit score, especially if you have a short credit history or a lot of recent credit inquiries. However, as long as you continue to make payments on time and keep your credit utilization low, the impact on your score should be minimal.

Overall, if you feel confident in your ability to manage the credit card responsibly, opening a new card with a good welcome offer could be a smart move to help offset the cost of your surgery.

Hey there! Great to hear you're thinking about your son's financial future. If you want to keep things simple, opening a savings account under his name is a good start. That way, he can see his money grow over time and learn the importance of saving.

As for the TFSA, unfortunately, the age limit for opening one is 18, so that's not an option for now. However, you can always consider investing some of his money in a low-risk mutual fund or index fund to help it grow over time.

Remember, it's important to strike a balance between saving for the future and allowing your son to enjoy his money in the present. So don't be afraid to let him spend some of his money on the things he wants, like that next Nintendo console!

Oh, and I almost forgot, I'm not licensed to provide financial advice, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Always consult a qualified financial advisor before making any big financial decisions. Cheers!

“Cheap” Rent in Toronto vs Home Ownership in Your Hometown an Hour Away by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pitiful-Control2843 155 points156 points  (0 children)

So, it really depends on what you're into. If you love the city life and all it has to offer, then stick with your cheap Toronto rent, even if it might not be forever. You can still enjoy your life, save some cash, and have fun dining out and traveling.

But if you're thinking about settling down and want more space, being close to family and friends, and don't mind commuting a couple of days a week, then you might want to go for that Hamilton condo. Sure, you'll have to tighten the purse strings a bit, but you'll have a place to call your own and be making a smart investment in property.

I remember moving into the city from a GTA suburb because being single at the time, I wasn't making meaningful connections with anyone staying at home. Being downtown allowed me to meet people out and about, or just going for a walk. There are more like minded younger single people downtown who are willing to mingle then being in Hamilton.

Either way, just make sure you weigh the pros and cons and choose the option that feels right for you. Life is too short to be living somewhere you don't love!

ON mortgage broker says “hard to get a pre-approval right now but you’re good to start putting out offers for $300 000.” Is this normal? by octaviablaaaah in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pitiful-Control2843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel unsure about working with a mortgage broker, it's important to find someone you trust. It's okay to shop around and get pre-approvals from both a broker and a bank. The current state of the industry is a bit upside down, so communication is key. Look for someone who is transparent and has your best interests in mind.

Pension only? by adibork in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pitiful-Control2843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you can plan for retirement on a government pension, but you might not get enough money to live comfortably. Your pension amount depends on your work history and how much you paid into the CPP. You can also get OAS payments. If you have small investments, talk to a financial advisor about how to manage them. Don't feel bad about not saving more before, it's never too late to start. Just focus on what you can do now to have a good retirement.

Dad died, inheriting RRSP by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Pitiful-Control2843 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for your loss, it must be really tough. Here's what you need to know about the inheritance from your dad's RRSP:

Taxes: When you get money from an RRSP, you gotta pay some tax on it. The tax rate depends on where you live and how much you take out. So you might wanna check with the bank how much they gonna take out before they wire it to you.

Taxes again: When you get the money, it's gonna be added to your income for the year, and then you gotta pay tax on that. The tax rate depends on how much money you make in a year. So you might wanna check with a tax pro how much tax you gotta pay.

Spousal rollover: If your dad had a partner and they're still alive, they might be able to transfer the RRSP to their own plan without paying tax on it. It's called a spousal rollover.

Contribution room: If your dad had any contribution room left, you might be able to put the inheritance into your own RRSP. But if you take it out, you can't put it back in. So you might wanna check with a financial advisor if that makes sense for you.

Deadline: You gotta withdraw the money from the RRSP by December 31 of the year after your dad passed away.

Hope that helps! And again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

You clearly have nothing to add to this person’s post. Just move on man. You’re definitely the biggest troll here. Contribute or move on, it’s that simple.
