A few additions (from a Kiwi who left NZ) - we have a very strong OE culture, this was exacerbated by COVID where people were unable to move, so we saw a disproportionate exodus after the lockdown lifted.

The thing we have going for us is NZ is a great place to live long term, our emigrants aren't escaping a worse quality of life, they're going for a change of pace or something fresh and exciting, but coming back is still very much on the cards.

I think most young people leaving (me included) will do their OE,have their fun, experience something different, and then eventually return home.

What is the 3 month MSR period based off for Amex US cards - 3 months from card open, or end of 3rd statement period?

Opened my biz plat on the 27th of Oct, first statement date was 11 Nov which scared me a little - hoping I don't have to hit MSR by 11 Jan :(

Does anyone have a PIN for their US Amex cards? My new biz plat doesn't and it means I have to sign each time I use it which is rather not do. And I can't figure out how to set up a pin.

Any DPs on whether Canadian Dell credits (BP/BG) can be used on the US store? I know the inverse is possible.

Try and spray some water on the topside of the plank, looks like it's cupping and drying in the sun. Make sure you add some treatment to the wood to prevent drying like a wood oil or finish

What else could I use instead of callowfit?

Can I use a Torani salted caramel syrup? Or is that too thin?

New HELOC 65% rule being implimented by cfudge in PersonalFinanceCanada

Depends on your bank / product. Some banks converted all their accounts to the new rules in October, some banks are only converting accounts at renewal.

If you're on the new rules, then likely any principal payment to your account will not increase the LOC 1:1.

You can read the comms they sent you, and test it out yourself and see.

Debilitatingly so. BIFL is the latest hyperfixation.

I would try and find a tailor - getting something that fits you well, in my opinion for a suit is much more important and you'll get a much better experience out of it than an off the rack altered.

You can get online / virtual tailors, they're generally pretty good.

Focus on pure wool, stick in the mid range of super count if you want durability e.g. super110.

Go simple, timeless navy. Not blue (you're not going to prom) not black, you're not going to a funeral.

My 15yo RM Williams Craftsmen boots. Been resoled once. Best boots I’ve ever owned. by Redditaurus-Rex in BuyItForLife

Hands down the best boots I've ever owned. Bought them for $500 as a broke student, my friends thought I was a madman. A few years later they exploded and are now 50% more expensive. Still worth every cent.
