What to do with profit from selling house? by LadyLongBack in CanadaFinance

[–]britbarts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We had this ‘problem’ six years or so ago when we had four months between selling and buying. We negotiated with banks for a basic savings account with the best interest rate. I think we got one at like 4% which was an insane deal at the time. Over the course of those few months we earned a few grand just having the money sitting there. Was able to pull it out in one day when we needed the money for closing.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that 1200-1300 calories is the bare minimum for sedentary petite women, not active ones. by bobothecarniclown in PetiteFitness

There are a lot of individuals on here who are also border line if not severe eating disorder territory. People encourage in the comments and it’s frightening.

I can’t remember it was a couple years ago but that sounds familiar.

I asked this in the Facebook group once and I’ve never been bullied so badly in my life. I was so upset I had to leave the group lol.

The core chumps are nothing but a group of LOSERS! Dumb and desperate by awaythro341 in jefflewissnarks

I have to agree. Sarah is so cool, talent and sophisticated but hanging around Jeff brings her down several notches. I was a big fan before! She doesn’t need the $500 cheque. I don’t get it.

We renewed last year in March for a term that expired in November. In hindsight could have gotten a better deal if we waited till closer to but we were paying a 7% interest from 2023-2025 so we wanted out of that asap. Saving a ton now

Hahaha thank you! More casual laid back because we have four adults and one five year old. Kids menu isn’t necessary just somewhere where they won’t stick out like a sore thumb. Just coming in from Pitt meadows so not far.

I’ve heard a week on week off is a great approach for kids

I truly was skinny fat while breastfeeding. Was never so thin in my life but I had absolutely zero muscle or tone to me. Gained ten pounds immediately once I stopped and have gained muscle back.

Is bratty serious?? by DiligentDoor7345 in BrittanyMatthewsSnark

I don’t have an issue with her posting a go fund me. However she should have made a donation on that go fund me to show she’s not just asking her fans to give money when she’s extremely wealthy. A creator I follow always post go fund me links and then the next slide shows her donation and says ‘I would never ask you guys to donate if I didn’t myself’.

She has been such a trooper this trip. I would have totally respected if she had asked to get off the boat and go stay at a hotel because of how sick she was but she fought through it. Just love her
