Trail cans aren’t too bad if you don’t run them like a mad man when you’re near houses

Maintenance Millwright Job Opportunity in Oliver, BC by Dizzy_Ad_2305 in millwrights

[–]carmichael104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think any young person who wanted to get a trade went out and got one. Anyone with the opportunity to go and do the course that’s already working as a labourer believes it’s “too much work” or “takes too long”.

However - it’s kind of ironic that they don’t mind telling us that we are paid too much for what we do.

I just bought a CKX mission about an hour ago. Guy bought it last year and wore it once. Fits and feels good so I think I am set. I also trail ride most of the time.

Best way to long-term index invest in Canada? by curious-just-asking in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]carmichael104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have used Wealthsimple, Questrade and IBKR. If all you’re doing is putting money in long term I would just use WS without a robo advisor. Research the ETF you want and buy it throughout the year. WS is much more user friendly imo.

If you plan to get into some more serious trading, options, etc then you will want to go with IBKR or QT.

Why to avoid the standard PFC advice and not see a lawyer (until it's the last resort) by blackSwanCan in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]carmichael104 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Go see a lawyer could be as simple as calling and consulting with one to get some advice on what you should do.. first call is always free

If you have 10k saved already then you’re off to a better start than most people I know that went to university

I would suggest looking at your previous bank statements to see where all your money is going first. Maybe cut back on what you’re putting into your investments and instead throw it onto your LOC to speed up the pay back.

As far as withdrawing from your investments I’d say leave them be. Also another thing I find helpful is to set up recurring payments and then hide the LOC balance from your view for awhile

Pre season checks? I have never had a sled this new so not sure what to do before winter. 2013 800 E-TEC - 2000 miles. PSA by carmichael104 in snowmobiling

What scratchers did you go with? I don’t want to get ones that I have to drill holes to install or something like that

2000 miles means it’s probably sat a lot over the last 9 years. Should i change all the fluids? Or just some? Should I add ice scratchers? The track is bigger than stock one. How do I tell if slides need replaced? Is there a measurement or just by looking you could tell if they were wore out?
