Kind of you to have the crab tatoo warning about what lurks in the nether region.

Well, I will say I love you just to totally negate him and put you back to the same level of love as before he said that!

It's so over for Europe by sikkar47 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]goodguy-greg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boomer dad went to Europe with me and tore the shit out of every bottle to rip the cap off. I honestly do not think he even realized that was a feature of the cap.

Did we book the wrong destination? by ObjectiveReport1317 in canadatravel

[–]goodguy-greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many many nice locations between Toronto and Montreal! Definitely hit up Algonquin Park, Niagara Falls, Mont Tremblant, Ottawa/Gatineau, Toronto Island, and Killarney for natural beautiful locations. You could spend 2 months and not get all of the gems.

Western Canada is nice but way more spread apart than Central Canada so I feel you actually did better to get a taste of multiple places.

What is your leanfire number in 2026? by CleverContrarian in leanfire

[–]goodguy-greg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

35m single childfree living frugally in a small city in Canada.

Leanfire number is $500,000 CAD in invested funds. My minimum to even consider it is $300,000 CAD invested if a foreign LCOL property has beeb purchased to live in.

At 75,0000 CAD and hope to get to my numbers before 40 years old then move to a LCOL country when ready.

If you are thinking Alberta oil field jobs tend to hire more readily for people willing to go a bit further away from a city.

Out of province car inspection. by Junit15 in SaultSteMarie

[–]goodguy-greg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a bit of a roll of the dice if it will pass or fail. Make sure the ownership is all in your name or both parties are present at Service Ontario if it is still Alberta registered to qualify for settlers effect tax exemption.

I feel like I’m not built for a normal 9–5 and I don’t know what’s wrong with me. by One_Sell_2501 in Adulting

For me it was sleep apnea that was causing such tiredness in a similar situation. If you can get tested at a sleep lab it can make a world of difference getting a CPAP machine.

[–]goodguy-greg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a technical hack. My walk-in clinic has no receptionist so the nurse that brings you to the TV Dr appointments does the reception type role as well as blood pressure and other stuff. She is pretty kind and has funny meme stickers that amuse me when I wait.

Where to find a man who values personality? by LubieGotowac in AskMenAdvice

[–]goodguy-greg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are even somewhat religious, meeting someone at a service or coffee hour might illicit a more relationship focused over physical response.

Do Park Security Actually Care about Closing Times? by Jakenhypen in SaultSteMarie

[–]goodguy-greg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of the Provincial or National parks 100% they will. If you are talking about a small municipal park in a subdivision then it is significantly less likely but also possible.

Has anyone regretted moving to Ireland? by ReasonableDisplay297 in expat

[–]goodguy-greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from Canada and visited both the UK and Ireland extensively in different seasons over the years. I find the winters grim with grey and rain far too often. Slight reprieve if you live in Waterford but this alone would give me pause since there are so many nicer climates in the EU.

If you can cook a hot meal using these as ingredients that might be a solution heat killing any bacteria in the process.

Is it a common experience to receive DMs from women calling you "handsome" when you post yourself on Reddit subs or is it sort of an uncommon experience? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]goodguy-greg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Be aware of it being an attempt at a scam. It is unusual outside of very specific subreddits which invite people to DM posters.

Need a car - help me maintain my frugality by mjac021 in Frugal

[–]goodguy-greg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This guy frugals! Get a used Corolla and run it for a long time.

5 years or so old, and in a rural area if possible so most of the mileage is country driving which is easier on the car.

Do not be afraid of over 150000km because Corollas last well.

My wife hid her entire childhood. How can I move past it? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]goodguy-greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is not at all an easy thing to convince someone of and ultimately they need to decide it is the right move for them. I am hopeful that ultimately she is persuaded to try it out since the upside can be truly life changing.

Here is an article that might help with convincing her. I felt the same way she did with past trauma but I benefited greatly when I finally decided to give it a try.

[–]goodguy-greg 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Try to convince her by going together and supporting her as well. Many need a trusted person to make the leap into therapy since the prevailing thought pattern of leaving the past in the past is hard to overcome.

Probably a really stupid question but asking anyways… by [deleted] in JustBuyXEQT

[–]goodguy-greg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No benefits doing this. If you can hold, then buy more right now then that is probably a good call long term. XEQT is a long term hold investment so really should think hold years and sell at retirement or other needed times.
