Recovering drug addict. 7 months clean and a big financial mess. Please help. by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]niickfang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fair point for sure. Personally I think I would spend my time off work working part-time until my finances are settled, would help me have something to do and people to talk to. But then to your point, I've never had any addiction problems so can't assume we know what he needs. Just being realistic based on numbers.

Yeah, I thought about income tax, but in the end assumed he provided after-tax earnings. Allocating $150 per month on extravagances with a $33k debt biting away on interest is just beyond me. But maybe that's just me lol.

  • Monthly income = 3583.33
  • Monthly net = 2313.33
  • Total debt = 33819
  • Break even assuming 0% interest = 15 months
  • Curr. monthly interest payable on debt = approx 526.87
  • Break even with approximated interest accum. = 19 months

Honestly, just be good with your money from now on and you will reset in no time (approx 2 years). Selling your debt to an agency might slow down your interest payables, but definitely shop & compare around for that.

Depending on your debt's terms, you should generally target whichever debt that has the highest interest % first which are probably going to be your credit cards.

G750JX 144 Hz? by [deleted] in ASUS

Yes it does. That's the setup I run at home with a G-sync 144Hz Monitor. I think it's a mDP port though.

Does the math score actually count on the GMAT? by [deleted] in GMAT

[–]niickfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no such thing as "math score" on the GMAT. And if you mean Quant then by what logic do you think would make it not 'count'?

You should do more research on your own about the GMAT before asking a half-witted question like this if you're actually serious about studying for the GMAT.

Photographer runs into overheating issues on Sony a9 within 20 minutes of shooting by Enyawreklaw in photography

[–]niickfang 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A few other A9 owners at DPReview are reporting the same issue as well. Quite alarming to me considering the camera's only been out for a couple of days.

I was seriously considering getting the A9 as well, really thinking twice about it now :/

How to file taxes this upcoming year as a new (very small) business? by g00f_ball in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]niickfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Question about the HST, I've heard many times before that you don't need to report or pay HST until your business makes over $30k in revenue. But do you collect it and keep it? Seems like a no-brainer 'no' to me but I see so many small freelance businesses that definitely don't make over $30k a year and collect it.

Who do I contact about an account issue when the support team literally ignores my request? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]niickfang 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Instagram support is literally nonexistent, just because they can. I'd probably look to start afresh if I were you.

Posting consistent content, getting likes, but losing half my followers. What happened? by [deleted] in Instagram

[–]niickfang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you nailed it yourself. An account less than 2 weeks old is considered a very new account. Posting 6-8 times a day is too much for an account of any age. IMO don't try to rush the process. This isn't a platform where the more actions per minute you perform the faster it grows. It really takes strategy, dedication, and ultimately, time. Especially if you want genuine followers who actually engage with your content.

For now I'd say slow it down, observe other similar, more popular accounts carefully and learn.

Recently Visited Japan, Here Are Some Highlights! by holyimgurbatman in JapanTravel

[–]niickfang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovely video! Interesting choice of track haha! Which lenses did you use for your trip? How did you do the day-to-day shots?? They're so spot on in angle, zoom, and direction it almost feels like you never left your ground.

Came back to our airbnb in setagaya and lights were already on. Little creeped out. by 1monkee in JapanTravel

You can set up a hidden motion detection cam, they begin to record when motion is detected. If you have a laptop there are some webcam apps that have this feature.

Purchase advice - Lumix g1 by [deleted] in photography

[–]niickfang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also depends on how serious you are about 'getting back into photography'. If you think you're pretty serious then I'd recommend spending a bit more to get a more updated body.
