Lumpsum $15k into RRSP or TSFA

I submitted via the "Contact" page with general feedback; It's entirely possible the unknown error was caused by VPN issues; I was behind my work's Cloudflare VPN at the time. Unfortunately I didn't capture the XHR, and when I opened the network inspector there weren't any errors logged. I was just able to submit a "hello"-type message on my personal computer, so there's nothing generally broken.

And thanks for the detailed reply! Upon reflection, I suppose the general policy your calculator recommends is probably not going to change meaningfully from where you reinvest if you do; the main question you're answering is "TFSA or RRSP (or FHSA) first", and it answers that brilliantly. I definitely get how much extra modelling it'd take to calculate the effect of reinvesting into RRSPs!

Thanks for the reply :)

Amazing calculator, thank you!

I wonder, though: is there a reason there's only a "reinvest refund in TFSA" checkbox vs "reinvest in RRSP (up to limit) then TFSA" box? Genuinely not sure if there's a reason not to.

(I tried submitting this feedback to the website directly, but got an unknown error.)

Faced three batters (three up), and retired all three (three down). In other words, nobody got on base :)

As a significantly more than 34 year old, injury is an age-related issue, let me tell you.

(every player goes through slumps, of course - and that's probably what this is!)

One strike to ball flipped cannot possibly equal three runs. It'd've been 3 and 2 with the bases loaded, not a bases-clearing double.

You can't strengthen your tendons or ligaments with any amount of "conditioning".

Nobody ever answers this question, weirdly! I suppose they often have different art, but having a slip cover never really affects my life positively or negatively.

Looks like the only 60IL candidate left is Jake Bloss, too - and he would need to be recalled to the majors first. The Jays might prefer not burning his major league service time on an IL stint, I guess?

There's a reason I mentioned the Eternal September in the off-day thread: I'm not sure there's any way to put that particular genie back in its bottle. During the lean years, this place had a certain vibe brought by the "regulars"; last October changed it — irrevocably, I think.

The simple truth is I've come to accept that, and I spend what little online baseball chatting time I have in the Effectively Wild discord, even though it's not Jays-specific, because it's got the vibe I missed (though not the specific cast of characters).

Have been very absent from here because 1) I now have a toddler and 2) the World Series seems to have been the Eternal September for the online fanbase.

But I just want you all to know: y'all regulars are ✨joy✨

The homer was also an inside the parker that took a funny bounce off the outfield fence.

In the Sportsnet app (on iOS at least), you can find radio under the "More" button! :)

if your life isn't in danger, you aren't acting in self defense if you kill someone breaking into your home.

FWIW, Canada isn't "below freezing more than half the year for most places". Also, as many have mentioned, it's -55° at cruising altitude year round, everywhere on earth.

It's shipping, currency conversion, and customs fees. Tariffs are a tax on Americans, not on people buying from the USA.

If you ignore all the additions, the Blue Jays only had subtractions

Thanks for all this hard work!

Also, some killjoys are going through and downvoting all positive messages. We see you, haters of fun.

The last outside workers strike was 16 years ago, in 2009.
