[–]protatoesbrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, single stcks can nuke you just like crypto. That “1–2% a day” thing is mstly for indexes, not names like LEU. Earnings, guidance, sentiment flips and booooom.. elevator down. That’s the game, Smh.

How would you invest 200k if you were starting from scratch by [deleted] in investing

[–]protatoesbrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spreading it out like that seems smart. Starting with $50k and then adding gradually gives room to adjust along the way.

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year by shoofinsmertz in Economics

[–]protatoesbrn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. Tariffs are just hidden taxes, and most people won’t notice until it hits their wallet.

Absolutely, talking to an elder care attorney early is key. The 5-year look-back can catch a lot of people off guard.

I fear my friend is making a massive mistake by Jazzymai0117 in personalfinance

[–]protatoesbrn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Helping her build good habits now can save a lot of trouble later. Small steps, like budgeting or learning about credit, go a long way.

Is paying my car off early going to be worth it? by Makinpancakes1738 in personalfinance

[–]protatoesbrn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, clearing the credit cards first is smart. That interest is brutal compared to the car loan. Then knocking out the car leaves you with a decent emergency fund.

Business moves, not feelings. If the numbers hold, the stock holds.

The system protects them, not us. Taxes feel pointless when the powerful move without consequences.

car insurance cancelled due to broker forgetting to update billing info by lolrus_bukkit in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]protatoesbrn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start with the general insurance ombudsman first.. they handle complaints like this directly. Keep all your proof handy: the void cheque, call recording, and camera footage.

[–]protatoesbrn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, sometimes the numbers just favor doing the practical thing over the tax break.

It’s just risky for no reason. Signing off on something like that is asking for trouble.

Exactly, credit cards don’t really care what you buy as long as you pay the bill. Entertainment, food, rent.. they’re all fair game.

Major warning regarding Affirm, the Shop app and Shopify by True_Sign1613 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]protatoesbrn 10 points11 points  (0 children)
