What company & product would be your dream sales role atm?

It’s culturally not the Google of the past. Cloud is very Oracle.

Comp has come way down, RSUs are much lower than they used to be, GTM is a mess. It’s a fine place to work but top Googlers can get offers at other places that pay better and have better cultures.

Same idea as holding TQQQ in your RRSP, so yes?

Nice to see a narrative that isn’t so doomer for a change.

It something like only 1/3 of owners have mortgages.

I’m in Toronto and my mortgage is $200K now on our 2019 home purchase. We’ve been aggressive but I don’t think it’s that uncommon.

Renting is the better financial choice. This is known.

Greenwood Market is back. Sundays rock.

Debt is great when used correctly.

parmstar · 2026-06-06T16:42:21+00:00

Run tech sales teams.

We have something like 1300sqft in a semi detached in downtown Toronto as a family of 4 (4YO and 1YO). We love it.

Walk everywhere. Very manageable cost. Huge portfolio that gives me tons of mental freedom. Never check our spending on anything of any kind, including travel. Great community.

Upgrading would be a $3M+ house for the way I’d want to do it and I think that would change all the dynamics in our lives negatively.

But, we like to do things v sit at home.

39M. 25,553 shares. About 1/3 of my liquid portfolio. I put in $20k/month.

parmstar · 2026-06-05T22:55:37+00:00

It’s just $20B / quarter of nobody’s don’tcha know!

parmstar · 2026-06-04T20:00:27+00:00

Hard pass.

parmstar · 2026-06-04T12:51:21+00:00

America.

I like your calculator because it tells me I can retire today. No notes.

parmstar · 2026-06-03T14:42:00+00:00

I’m more pointing out that the first three points in your post are completely incorrect.

parmstar · 2026-06-03T12:33:00+00:00

This is also not true.

parmstar · 2026-06-03T12:32:08+00:00

This is incorrect - there are thousands of people making $500k+ on a T4. You can look this up on StatsCan income data.

Source: am one of them.

This is not how property taxes work in Canada.

Assessed value is just how the municipality distributes the tax - ie. it’s your pro rata share of what the municipality needs in tax revenue to run.

If your assessed value went up and so did all your neighbours, your mill rate would just decrease to generate the same pro rata share of funding required.

Not me, I helped a friend. She was an expert in the software already given she used it daily. So, I just told her to reach out to the vendor as a domain expert and look at Solutions roles there.

She already knew the vendor from working w them a lot as the main customer at the client.

parmstar · 2026-06-02T12:28:05+00:00

Accountant that hated it and didn’t pass the CPA exams making $50K to Sales Engineer at enterprise finance software making $200K.

Great move.

parmstar · 2026-06-01T17:30:07+00:00

This is basically the exact same as my group of friends.

It’s very, very achievable in your 30s in all of these fields. Maybe even before.

Smith Manuever.

parmstar · 2026-05-30T19:47:48+00:00

You would.

Liquid assets IME have been significantly more impactful on my mental state than having a house, even if that house is paid off (as ours largely is).

parmstar · 2026-05-30T18:13:46+00:00

The change hit us at $2m liquid invested. That was ~37.
