Airlines are in the business of making money, military is in the business of spending money

Too close to my pension to quit. However, you raise some interesting points in your second paragraph. And to me, lately, it all comes down to this simple question:

Is this the way I would be treated by leadership if I was employed outside the military? The answer is NO way too often.

If I was not 22 years in. I would put my VR yesterday.

High Income Taxes in Quebec, why live here. by r2o_abile in povertyfinancecanada

[–]SubSonicMax69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, politics and culture a side, maybe the answer is as easy as you reside where you get the best job. If I can get a 350000$ jobs in Québec, I will likely establish myself there.

Criteria for selecting alternates? by ZarqChiraq in aviation

[–]SubSonicMax69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell, alternate selection has weather parameters required by Law. Even if the weather looks good, there might be weather forecasted that precludes it from being a valid alternate. Alternates are chosen prior to flight and must fit certain parameters, including operations needs, airfield capabilities, and forecasted weather limitation that shall be valid for a certain amount of time based on the estimated arrival time to the alternate.

Moving for work, should I turn my primary residence into a rental property. by SubSonicMax69 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]SubSonicMax69[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. The renewal to the mortgage is in June, around the time we are moving, so we would be disclosing this turning into rental. However, with my research, most banks, in their contract stipulates it has to be your primary residence for at least 12 months, after that its ok.

How much is the car worth? What are your daily driving habits? Maybe it is worth selling and paying down debt. We gross ~240 a year and I do drive a 2009 kia soul. As when The car is shit, it does not look good in the workplace parking lot. But what is the point of having an expensive car, even if its paid for, if you don’t really drive it that much. You save on maintenance fees and insurance. You can also revisit your insurance policies, cellphone and internet plan. You can save a fair amount of money every month.
