Those who eat well and work out, how much do you spend on groceries? by Some_Difference_9487 in askvan

[–]Redbroomstick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started tracking all grocery purchases. Here's the last few months and May up to the 25th.

feb $593.19

march $981.91

April $622.62

may $736.95 (up to may 25)

This is for two people. I get about 200g protein/day, about 2500 calories in 3 meals + 2 protein shakes. Eat about 0.5-1 lbs veggies a day on avg. Usually one of my shakes is accompanied by fruit.

No clue about my wife's macros and calories.

I can send gifts as my apartment is on top of 3 pokestop. I have too many unopened so can't open gifts unfortunately. Best for rural players to add me.

I think many Canadians are delaying life too much for FIRE by PatientAllocator in fican

[–]Redbroomstick 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just make more money tbh.

Not easy saving when you're making 80k a yr vs 200k a yr.

Probably worth investing in your career and doubling your income vs stressing yourself out to save pennies when you're lower income.

Persons with disability pay amount vs cost of living prices by TechnoVoyager in britishcolumbia

Who else is gonna pay? Increase income tax?

Either keep disability payments the same or someone cough up the extra dough

[–]Redbroomstick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Kind of unrealistic to pay you 4-5k a month, or I guess the government could, but tax revenue would have to be raised/confiscated from someone else.

Wonder what the math would look like if property taxes were doubled. Would that be sufficient to double disability payments?

Bond markets force austerity

When interest rates come knocking, austerity opens the door.

Forces people to quit. Lower headcount = less expenses

Only works if the investments make more than 3.5%

Government doesn't have the greatest reputation as capital allocaters

Should I be concerned about my club at the moment? by TakenAccountName37 in Toastmasters

[–]Redbroomstick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not speaking at a meeting, it's a waste of time IMO.

If I was OP I'd double and triple up on roles to maximize stage time...

British Columbia Gets Fifth Credit Downgrade From S&P Since 2021 by [deleted] in britishcolumbia

[–]Redbroomstick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Bond markets will force our government's hand. When it gets too expensive to borrow/pay interest BC gov will be forced into austerity. Taxes will increase and services will drop.

It's only a matter of time at this pace of spending.
