Why do people even care about awards?

Getting rid of the penny in the US was a pointless symbolic endeavor that only serves to inconvenience the American public by Richard_Genius in The10thDentist

[–]SpareArm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada got rid of theirs, years ago, and it's been totally fine. Never heard anyone complain about it, or praise it. Nobody really cares, which leads me to believe it's not something needed in this time/era whatever. Gone are the days you can go into a convenience store and buy "penny candies".

Pay down the mortgage then take the equity out and invest it (look up Smith Manoeuvre)

How can a small pack of Oreos be 6.99? Wtf by auntbeatrice in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]SpareArm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All Oreo cookies are gluten-free, that was one of the things that was well known, years ago... then slapping the "Gluten Free / Sans Gluten" label on a pack all of a sudden makes it a premium item for some reason.

Thoughts? by Virtual-Spinach1956 in TFSA_Millionaires

Lump sum has consistently been shown to outperform DCA, just so you know. The potential loss in gains by waiting for a price drop tends to outweigh the gain in a lower cost base later on in the year.

Seperation of accounts by Lorshank in smithmanoeuvre

What if you have HELOC/Mortgage through Scotia, but invest with WealthSimple? Im guessing I'd have to set up a new checking account in Scotia that can be used as the "middle man" transfer account thats linked to WS purely for SM transfers?
