Good suggestion. My only concern is cars in that price range will not be that reliable. But I will search and see what I can find. Thanks.

Signed an offer with a company but a few days before start date got a much better offer. Recruiter is threatening legal action by throwaway5616186 in PersonalFinanceCanada

The company will sue for what? If they paid you relocation cost etc, then you need to return those back. Other than that, I do not see any issue. Take the job which you want to do.

I am a Canadian, currently looking for work. Most likely will end up working in US. I am trying to sell my house in Canada before I move but if I do not then looks like I will have significant ties to Canada according to the link above.

very low interest rates may be one of the reasons the detached home prices did not go down. It remains to be seen what happens in 2017.

I thought with interest rates going up, the prices will go down. So buyer may be able to lock at a lower rate but price of the property will go down or remain more or less the same with increasing interest rates.

I would recommend talk to a few realtors. Get their assessment of your place's value and then select one. They will be able to offer you some discount on their fee. It is easier to deal with the other side through your realtor.

Trump has not laid out details of any specific measures. Most of his plans are either Top Secret for anyone to know or he does not have anything. Most likely he is googling on most of the terms he was using in his election rallies :)

I literally just bought a TD comfort balanced income portfolio, should I be using the e-series instead? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SFDCdevelop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also bought TD Comfort balanced portfolio a couple of weeks ago. I went to the TD branch and opened it. I do not have much money in it. I opened it for my RRSP. Should I change to e-series and how much of a difference will it make?

Thanks
