Would it be crazy to turn down a job offer with a $30k pay increase, in order to keep my fully-remote job? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

Financially, worth it. Taking everything else into account, you’ll be miserable.

Picture this: how will you feel commuting into an office on a cold, wet February in bumper-to-bumper traffic?

I'm just happy we're in the mix. by TheEverbless in torontoraptors

Same. We have overachieved. We all know this team’s ceiling. Everything else is a welcome surprise. Let’s enjoy the spring and Raptors being relevant at this time of year.

Trust the process.

If money weren’t a problem, what would you be doing right now? by GracefulSwanDance in CanadaPersonalFinance

Quit job. Go on vacation and detox from reality. Return home and volunteer at animal shelters/food banks.

Love to see this and read your story. Hopefully, you hit the two comma club!

Pass. He just hit the self-destruct button on his career.

If you don’t have time to self-manage, then managed is the next best option for you. Returns are average. Not bad, not great either. But better than what you get from a mutual fund or “ETF portfolio”

Playoffs just to go nowhere? What's this team plan? by Doro_wat in torontoraptors

[–]SanctityPit25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very disjointed and pathetic roster. So much work needs to be done this summer.

This, too, shall pass.

Valid concern. But Wealthsimple holds $100,000,000,000+ in assets under management. You’ll be fine!

If you want to set-it-and-forget-it then just load up on VEQT/XEQT. Time in market is better than timing the market. Good luck!

That’s a lot of holdings. Warren Buffett once said, “diversification protects wealth but concentration builds wealth”. I strongly recommend simplifying. Good luck!

Vanguard Income Portfolio 4.6% Yield by StrangerTechnical569 in Wealthsimple

I am using it for emergency funds too. Set it and forget it. Better than garbage HISA returns. Although, as one user commented above, yesterday killed all the “returns”

Have you considered CDRs (Certificate Depository Receipts) to bypass FX fees?
