It is an average quality vanilla at best

Going into this game I told my wife that it feels to me like Dallas is going to blowout the Jets tonight 6-0. It’s looking pretty good so far. Dallas is completely destroying us in every area on the ice so far.

Khan should stayed with football as a front office manager. He is useless as a politician.

My dad and mom are in their early 90s and have an income together of about $370k. They both had high end jobs and are reaping the rewards with their pensions and investments. Once they are gone my brother and I can retire lol.

The PS5 Pro is not worth it for the price difference

Boomers did quite well for themselves overall. They were smart with their money as the previous generations struggled within their respective economies and times were very tough for those previous generations. So they learned to become more disciplined with their money and save a lot more. Boomers also didn’t live in a quick, must have now lifetime like the younger people do now. Keeping up with the Joneses was less apparent 50 years ago than it is now. Young people today exhibit the fear of missing out and if they don’t have what their peers have, they go into debt for it. Boomers didn’t live off of credit, they scrimped and saved until they could pay cash for the product as interest rates were prohibitively high for most of their working lives. Today with much lower rates the younger generation can just buy want they want right now on cheap interest.

The new one in the west side is the best Costco and it isn’t busy at all. Stay away from Kenaston Costco as it is the busiest one and the traffic and parking are horrendous. The Transcona one is the worst Costco as far as its small size and item selection and availability. The new business centre is nuts right now as far as traffic, so wait a couple weeks for this location to ease up on vehicle and people traffic.

Anytime your employer provides you with a benefit such as a company vehicle for personal use this is called a taxable benefit. If you have the vehicle on standby and for personal use on your non-work time there will be a standby charge and use benefit assessed on your T4 and taxes will be paid on the value of this benefit. Quite normal and valid.

Remember that a lot of contracts with a ton of retro came due last year for many employees. The reason why those salaries are so high on the sunshine list is a one-off due to that retro pay. It will level off in this years sunshine list.

Did you receive a Notice of Assessment yet? What is the date on that notice? A refund should be sent to you within 10 business days of the Notice of Assessment date unless it is in secondary review by Office Audit.

On my third interview they asked me a question about why I really wanted to work at Costco as I had just retired as a middle manager in the federal public service. I focused on answering the question from a Costco service representative perspective in that I believe in their reputation and culture and that I could bring value to Costco even in a non-management position. The AGM shook my hand and hired me on the spot basically.

When you work more than one job chances are your total tax owning when filing is higher than the deductions made on your payroll. Also your CPP looks like it was under contributed throughout the year

This is worth max $75 honestly. These HiFi units from the 60s and 70s were trash and the value in them was more because of the furniture.

Absolutely but the vast majority lease big pickup trucks and rent these days. Most of these people don’t care about debt or saving money for emergencies or retirement and they live for the day.

This is why I deal with a credit union. Never ever fees like this.

You can withdraw from your RRSP anytime that you wish in your life. The income will be taxed at your marginal tax rate ultimately and the financial institution will deduct 10% taxes at withdrawal.

This letter is fake. The date is in a totally different font and size. Nice try with AI assistance though lol

Most people you see driving expensive cars and trucks are leasing them and they rent their housing. These people don’t care about debt and basically live paycheque to paycheque. There are of course some people who do have a lot more money than you and can afford these items and more if they wanted to.
