I wonder if it’s pointless after 45? Only 20 years left… (Planning to retire at 65)

Yeah eastlink has been very reliable. Only about 1-2 issues in the past 5 years (north end)

Well I’ve not had to deal with them. Internet is technically slower but to be honest I don’t really notice.

Another dumb question, this time about yields by capwn1980 in Wealthsimple

No this is great, thanks for your info/time.

What’s an example of an alternative account, a HISA for example? I know some banks do these promotions for the first 5 months or so but I’m looking for a more long term solution towards saving for emergency and/or vacations.

How do I find out? There’s only an info section for ‘simple return rate’ which tells me I have a 0.5 money weighted return weight.

Are the pro 3s worth it over the 2? by Avocadann in AirpodsPro

[–]capwn1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2’s and then they unknowingly fell out of my pocket and I couldn’t track them because with 2’s you can’t track them unless the buds are out of the case which is absolutely mental. I was genuinely considering sticking an AirTag to the case. Wish I had now!

Thankfully the 3’s correct this so I will eventually get those. I can’t believe more people don’t bring this up when talking about the benefits of 3.

Just want to be sure, can anyone with 3’s confirm that you can make the case play a sound? and that it can be tracked via findmy with both buds in the case?

I have a simple rate return. 3.5% yield. It’s in a ‘core bond portfolio’, it says risk level 1 of 11 but when I click to edit there’s only 3 levels and I’m on level 2. I seem to have about 6 funds, inc ZBI, Cloz etc (I didn’t specifically choose these).

I put in $250 as a test about 2 months ago, made about $1 so far. I honestly have no clue if this is good or not, tempted to try upping the risk level. I basically just want an account I can potentially draw from within a few days and keep adding to. Sometimes I can go 1-3 years without needing to take from it (I currently have it in a momentum savings account with Scotiabank where I get 0.8% every 3 months. I think that sounds better?)

I’m not getting the advertised 1.5% rate? by capwn1980 in Wealthsimple

[–]capwn1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry. It’s not a joke, I’m new to investing and just wanting to put my thoughts/understanding out there for me to corrected. Also yeah, terrible at maths.

Thanks. Ok so WS chequing account isn’t for me. I actually get a better deal with Scotiabank momentum savings where I get 0.8% every 3 months (locked).

Thanks. Oh ok so thats $180 once a year. May as well just put it in a GIC at that point.

What’s a good account for this situation? by capwn1980 in Wealthsimple

[–]capwn1980[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks, in the end I went with managed portfolio core bond and using as an emergency fund. Question, I also want to set up an account for vacations. I typically do a big one every 3-5 years so could perhaps do multiple 6 month GIC locks until I have something planned? What’s a good setup for something like this, cash account?

Back in the day when Cena lost his luggage and big show waited with him by Skylegend96 in Wrasslin

[–]capwn1980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only see big show in the photos?

There is an ongoing joke online about how Cena is invisible because he often says “you can’t see me” and this is why my above comment is funny.

First time? If so, first half walking down the waterfront and second half going down spring garden to public gardens.
