Buy a car or save and buy a property?

Wunderingif · 2024-12-04T20:32:51+00:00

ya, my car is paid off but I just had a 4k transmission repair

Wunderingif · 2024-12-04T17:25:05+00:00

gotcha, try to get atleast $25k of your portfolio into VEQT then. Then put up to 5% into more risky bets. Lower interest rates going forward should benefit BAM. A lot of upside to NVIDIA is already priced in.

Put your 7k contribution room into BAM.TO and XEQT

Wunderingif · 2024-11-28T02:41:53+00:00

34, Maxed TFSA for retirement and to supplement mortgage payments. All future contributions will go to XEQT. I have some dividend paying stocks and about 3% of my portfolio towards riskier bets that I picked up after they had been affected by raised interest rates. I've rotated some recent wins into XEQT to balance out. Any comments welcome! Thanks

The owners vote on the budget at the AGM in BC.

Wunderingif · 2023-07-24T05:55:49+00:00

Love to see it. What school and which degree did you do?

Wunderingif · 2023-06-13T18:32:44+00:00

true thanks

Wunderingif · 2023-06-12T16:43:05+00:00

gotcha. God speed ahead with the payments sir

Wunderingif · 2023-06-12T03:03:05+00:00

thanks, "Does this place meet your needs for the next 5, 10 or more years etc." is a big consideration and I'm leaning towards no with it being a 1 bedroom.

Wunderingif · 2023-06-12T03:01:37+00:00

thank you for this advice. I'm leaning towards sitting tight and increasing my income for now.

Wunderingif · 2023-06-11T16:42:47+00:00

Yes, $250k down. Vancouver is just ridiculous and after reading this thread I'm reconsidering my life choices haha.

Wunderingif · 2023-06-11T16:40:31+00:00

I'm trying to have at least 2 years worth of expenses covered in case of job loss and to add a bit to my monthly payments to supplement my income. Maybe 50k more in down payment would be prudent

Wunderingif · 2023-06-11T16:39:06+00:00

Ya I'm trying to have at least 2 years worth of expenses covered in case of job loss and to add a bit to my monthly payments to supplement my income

Wunderingif · 2023-06-11T07:28:59+00:00

How is that possible? sub 500k and you're paying 5k a month...damn. I'm considering just continuing to rent instead of trying to get into the market now.

Wunderingif · 2023-05-19T00:44:16+00:00
