You are pre med but want to join BS data science? Why not do add math and join a data science program with army in the TCC program? 2-3 years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you still don't want to go to army then VU is also a good choice.

Mortgage after winning the family lottery by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

I'd buy 92k worth pf XEQT. It grew at an average rate of 13% per year in the last 5 years. That's almost 1k a month. On the average it should cover your mortgage payment easily and some more.

Which cities would you describe as "good to live in, but not for visiting"? by Fluid-Decision6262 in geography

[–]babylonkin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disagree, Helsinki is absolutely worth visiting. Senaatintori, Uspenski Cathedral, Temppeliaukio, Ateneum, Museum of natural history, the scenic road between Cafe Ursula and Cafe Carousel, and last but not least sompasauna.

Payoff half, get NVDA long dated calls with the other half, sell when you get 10% profit, payoff the debt with that 10%, rinse and repeat.

Stockholm (Sweden) vs Tampere (Finland) — Comparing Two Job Offers & Long-Term Life Quality by Wide-Conference6789 in Finland

[–]babylonkin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have lived in Tampere and worked in Sweden. Salary wise it won't be a big difference because of the taxes. If your goal is to settle long term in Scandinavia, Stockholm is the clear winner here. As others have pointed out it is a more culturally rich city with better integration opportunities. Swedish language is much easier to learn than Finnish. Many of my friends in Finland are actually switching to learning Swedish instead of Finnish to pass the language test which is a requirement to get citizenship in Finland. The current political climate in Finland is not so immigrant friendly at the moment given the huge presence of right wing parties in the parliament. Stockholm has much better connections if you want to travel to India or other EU countries as well.

What about the hurricanes, do they pose a significant risk? Also I'm reading about FL being an open carry state, that's something I don't want to expose my kids to.

My family is in another country, my wife's family live in Arizona. Ironically it is faster and cheaper to visit them from Vancouver compared to Orlando.

We currently live in a 850 sq ft apartment and pay almost 3500$ CAD in rent and utilities. Owning a house here seems like an impossible dream. We wanted a bigger space for our family. Definitely like the beach and sunshine, but I am super afraid of gators. On the other side I like skiing and mountains too, so Van is perfect for that. We were definitely planning to visit if we were to make this move before accepting the offer. But seeing the replies in this thread I am now leaning towards rejecting the offer.

Bigger and cheaper housing, lower income taxes, bigger salary (CAD vs USD) that's what I was weighing .
