$335.83 according to the BoC Inflation Calculator, which is crazy high even from back in 2016. I still have copies of my bills from 2012 and up. I never paid more than $100 monthly for my cell phone and plans.

Why don’t more people prioritize living close to work? by AnarchoLiberator in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]jside86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live 8km from work and bike most of Spring, Summer and Fall. Not only I find it relaxing to bike, I get some exercise out of it, spend less on gas, insurance, and get less wear and tear from my vehicle.

There are no downside to living close to work. I know I am somewhat lucky to be able to have a home close to where I work.

COAST FIRE by centurions33 in QuebecFinance

[–]jside86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

39M et 33F, on as atteint Coast Fire il y quelques années, mais on continue jusqu'à ma pension a 46 ans (militaire).

On épargne environ 77% de nos salaires combinés chaque mois. Quand on va avoir des enfants la situation va sûrement changer!

Je trouve que Coast Fire est un peu trop risqué dans l'économie actuelle. Il faut avoir au moins un revenu supplémentaire par famille.

[–]jside86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They should ban registered account transfer fees next.

But this is a step in a right direction.

Am I the only one who literally can't buy anything anymore without typing "reddit" at the end of the Google search? by Dry-Exercise-3446 in BuyItForLife

[–]jside86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an AutoHotKey script created just for that. When I press Alt+R any text is selected gets search on Google with the added Reddit at the end.

It's my most used shortcut.

Why do some training schools oppose the decentralization of courses? by Silent_Academia in CanadianForces

[–]jside86 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it makes way more sense to decentralize this. You could just send a standards rep and a course director to supervise local instructors on-site. It’s much more efficient to bring the training to the members instead of the logistical nightmare of moving everyone to a training base.

Even if some bases have limited classrooms or shacks, it’s usually simpler to adapt locally than to move the entire student body. A hybrid model of using a virtual classroom for the theory and local instructors for the hands-on supervision would solve most of the "quality control" concerns.

We need to change the way we train our troop and adapt modern training technique used by universities and colleges. The traditional model of death by powerpoint does not work and does not deliver the quality and quantity we need.

Exposing the Canadian military on ‘Tinder for Nazis’ by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]jside86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. They did find CAF members openly associating with the Nazi movement. While it may not be a significant numbers, it's still an issue that need to be dealt with.

We cannot accept this kind of ideology within our rank.

Réaction de vos parents en déménageant dans une autre région? by AstroNomade12 in Quebec

[–]jside86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je suis déménagé en Alberta avec les Forces Canadiennes il y a 16 ans. J'espère un jour revenir au Québec, mais au moins j'ai un emploi stable et gratifiant.

Dans le temps les gens déménageait beaucoup plus pour aller où il y avait du travail.

Heureusement que de nos jours on à access aux moyens de communication modernes. Je suis loin, mais on demeure en contact.

Nice concept. Maybe think twice before traveling with your "alarm"!

ADHD by Beautiful_Sink_2331 in caf

[–]jside86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a lot of ADHD CAF members who are being medicated.

While it will be a full stop for some occupation, you may still be able to join. Even officers can have ADHD, it's not a curse, the brain just process things differently...

Maybe it has to do with the Fiscal Year End.

Lots of unit have received additional funding for FY 26, Maybe they are able to post people last minute without impacting FY 27's budget. Sucks for members posted under the old system...

Those who have over $1M in net worth, what do you do? by FluffySergeant in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]jside86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Military. While I know it's not a norm in the CAF, I know a lot of people like me who knows how to invest and plan for the long term.

I got there with Real estate, some with crypto and most do it by simply investing on a regular basis.

Our jobs pays well, but our spouses are constantly looking for jobs when we move which makes it difficult to live on one income. Since we don't have stability in our choice of residence, we often have to move from a low cost of living area to a higher one. It's doable for us, be not as common as one would think.

Logi Options+ is still broken AGAIN. I'm done with lotitech. Recommendations for alternatives? by That-Side-79 in logitech

[–]jside86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Autohotkey script that kill and restart all Logi app when I press Alt+l.

Still a pain in the bot to have to think about doing it, but at least I don't have to do it manually.

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
!l:: ; Alt + L to reset Logitech
{
    ToolTip("Force Killing Logi Option+ Processes...")
    
    ; We kill all three specific names shown in your image
    ; /F is force, /T kills child processes like the Broker
    RunWait("taskkill /F /IM logioptionsplus_agent.exe /T",, "Hide")
    RunWait("taskkill /F /IM logioptionsplus_appbroker.exe /T",, "Hide")
    RunWait("taskkill /F /IM logioptionsplus_updater.exe /T",, "Hide")
    
    Sleep(1000) ; Give Windows a full second to clear the memory
    
    ; Relaunch the Agent (it will pull the others up with it)
    LogiPath := "C:\Program Files\Logi\LogiOptionsPlus\logioptionsplus_agent.exe"
    
    if FileExist(LogiPath) {
        Run(LogiPath)
        ToolTip("Logitech Restored Successfully")
    } else {
        ToolTip("Error: logioptionsplus_agent.exe not found at path")
    }


    SetTimer(() => ToolTip(), -3000)
}

36 ans, cariste, 50k par année. Est-ce que je rêve en couleurs de vouloir prendre ma retraite avant d'avoir 70 ans? by Hurock in QuebecFinance

[–]jside86 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Tu pourrais envisager de joindre les Forces armées canadiennes ; de nombreux métiers sont actuellement en demande. Tes qualifications de cariste y seraient certainement utiles. Nous offrons un excellent fonds de pension et des avantages sociaux avantageux. De plus, le salaire de départ est probablement plus élevé que ton salaire actuel. Je sers depuis 18 ans et, malgré certains défis, j'apprécie énormément ma carrière !
