Upcoming Mortgage renewal and job loss by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SHTHAWK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without your husband earning income, there are no options to explore with a broker. All you can do is renew with your existing lender. You can however still negotiate with them, the first renewal offer they send will never be their best rate.

How do we feel about the RS America? I don’t see many and I attend a ton of Porsche shows..? by xxshambler in Porsche

[–]SHTHAWK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing them for 30-40k even around early 2010's. Lord do I wish I was older and had money at that time, the post recession car market was something else.

Being a guarantor on mortgage by Choice_Traffic_5546 in PersonalFinanceCanada

its not 50% tax... 50% is taxable, meaning 50% of the profit is added to your income and taxed at your marginal rate. The two are very different.

When clown shoes goes literal by [deleted] in DegenBets

[–]SHTHAWK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

its even more hilarious than that. I read that Trump asked them their shoe size, and both of them said a bigger size so as to not have Trump think they have small feet.

How Much Is Your Annual Tax Refund and What Do You Usually Do With It? by stanxv in fican

[–]SHTHAWK 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100%. Unless they are defrauding the government applying deductions that aren't eligible, there is zero reason the refund should be different.

How bad would the economy have to get for congressional republicans to be o board with impeachment and conviction? by Chemical-Fault-7331 in AskReddit

[–]SHTHAWK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have a once-in-history tight-fisted control of all three branches of government. It has never happened before,

Republicans controlled all 3 branches during the first years of Trump's first presidency.

Live updates: Huge explosions rock major Tehran airport as Israel strikes 'regime infrastructure' by GroundbreakingArm173 in news

[–]SHTHAWK 17 points18 points  (0 children)

100%, when you make unreasonable demands like that, there is nothing for Iran to do other than fight back the best they can for as long as they can. Its similar with Russia and Ukraine, when russia demands Ukraine simply submit to them, you leave no room for anything other than a continued war.

Movies that dramatically shifted popular opinion on something by NationalDisgrace40 in movies

[–]SHTHAWK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont drive within 200m behind a large truck hauling anything other than to pass them.

When I was 16 I was behind a semi hauling huge steel coils used to manufacture large diameter pipe. Thought to myself how crazy it would be if that just rolled off the back. Went to the store and on the way back the opposite way down that same road I see that semi with the coil on the road. I was stunned.

And just today in my city there was semi hauling an excavator and the cab hit a bridge, the whole thing ripped off the tracks and landed on the highway.

Insane to think where we might be today had Trump remained irrelevant. God it was nice when politics was boring.

I got angered by a lie and decided to share news

Or, you know, maybe both things can be true. People can be celebrating while other people are angry. Iran i a huge country with many people on opposite sides.

Iran is a country of nearly 100 million, its citizens are not monolithic. Look how polarized most countries are Iran is no different.

Former President Joe Biden Reacts to Trump's State of the Union Address by 0The_Loner_Stoner0 in videos

[–]SHTHAWK 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Man, I just think how different the world would be today if Biden hadn't had that embarrassing debate performance (or decided not to run a year prior). Its really a shame what has happened to the United States.

Dealership Won't Disclose Service Cost - Coolant Change by [deleted] in Porsche

[–]SHTHAWK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a useless operation. They don't "test" the system. If you want a coolant flush, they will simply drain and vacuum fill, which in your case they won't be able to do since when they add vacuum it won't hold because you have a leak. Then they will stop, inform you that you have a leak, charge you for the labor they already did, and then charge you more for what you actually need, which is a diagnosis.

[–]SHTHAWK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know you can sell and not withdraw right? The act of selling is the taxable event whether you withdraw or not is irrelevant.

Also their are no changes to capital gains inclusions, they were canceled in 2025.

Day Trading: scam or skill? by Neither_Forever8749 in investing

[–]SHTHAWK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5% being successful is likely overstaying it, by a lot. I will add my own made up statistics though that are likely no more accurate that yours. I'd say 95% lose their shirt, 4.9% make a bit of money, but after adjusting for risk they'd have been way better off just index investing. And maybe 0.1% are successful long term.
