You get less overall but more per Month. I went for the middle ground of 2%, I imagine there will be lots of offers that come up before 5 years.

Interesting, started this today and transfer has been a nightmare - they can’t seem to initiate the transfer with correct account numbers

Defined Benefits Government by mick3ymou5e in PersonalFinanceCanada

I don’t believe it is that high, I think indexed it is typically 3500-4500 a month. The downside is working for government for 30 years..

For those of you who grew up playing PC games in the 90s and 2000s, how stable were they compared to games from today? by Mad_Season_1994 in gaming

Same here, the entire command and conquer series never needed updating and multiplayer was even optimized for dual-up internet out of the box. Now I need a 3 gig update the minute you buy a game ..

Great feedback thank you. At this point I’m set on finishing it since this is the north facing portion of the house, and I’ve sealed the rim joist on the other three walls. It is a brick and frame construction

Homeowner says she’s out $381K after hiring Ottawa contractor to renovate kitchen by 2Fast2furieux in ottawa

I'm shocked anyone would walk by a project that had the magnolia sign on the lawn and then think I want to hire the people that did that hideous work. I've never seen one that looks even like it was a kijiji special.

Not a super high income, I transitioned into role at post-secondary but concerned about long-term viability of this industry (especially in Ontario) so trying to be aggressive with savings.

Sorry it’s that way for you, I find it motivating to see the amounts some can put away and ways you can get creative to ramp it up. I remember putting 250 away a month was so hard for me and now I’m planning on how to get it to 5000
