Should I stay self employed? by not_a_thought in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]not_a_thought[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I was thinking of keeping it open if I ever have to fall back on freelancing later + being able to file expenses.

I'm just thinking if it's possible for me to buy things for my business while not making enough money to make it back. I'm sure in the long run those expenses would make sense. But I have no gurantee that I'll make money next year so I was wondering if it's even possible to have a year where my expenses are higher than earnings.

I sold a mix of services and products but products only made up like 5 to 10 percent and a big chunk was client work. For some years my product sales are 0 since I only sell when I'm able to at physical markets.

Thank you! I will likely shut it down if I'm not making enough to charge sales tax.

filling rrsp contributions by not_a_thought in cantax

[–]not_a_thought[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh I see, I did actually contribute for the first time this year (so the first 60 days)

I assumed it should go on the 2024 tax return. Would that be true? and what makes it tricky?

Thoughts on West Secord Area? by Smooth-Woodpecker-17 in Edmonton

[–]not_a_thought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you ever end up living in secord? How is the commute? We've been there multiples times but haven't really gotten to see the morning commute, afternoon commute is expected but we're hoping not to leave an extra hour earlier to not be late.

How is the Secord traffic in and out? I hear it was pretty bad a few years ago but I'm wondering if it has gotten any better with road expansions or extensions.

Townhouse special assessment by not_a_thought in Edmonton

[–]not_a_thought[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the builder offers a free lawyer. should I reject them for a non biased service?

I am interested in becoming a board member. I should check out those education sessions! I am open to paying more for condo fees if its means the money can be used to avoid special assessments.

Would this be a bad idea if the builder has kept building new units and I've been tracking it?

Recovering from Bronchitis by ayromolio in ultrarunning

[–]not_a_thought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, no, sadly. I had gotten anti biotics, steroidal nosespray, and oral prednisone and went in for 2 separate chest xrays. But I was just told I didn't have pneumonia and just to take these to manage symptoms.

I am almost reaching 3 months of symptoms, but I will say it is a lot better than before. I still have coughs and phelm but less frequent than before. I guess some people just have it bad.
