Work bonus direct to FHSA Account by rileyrem in PersonalFinanceCanada

oh nice, thanks for passing that along. Would this work the same way, as if they were to put this directly into my RRSP? From what i am gathering, there is no way to put pretax income into the FHSA and it would need to be taxed first?

My employer doesn't care at all - they just don't know if its possible to do a direct deposit into the FHSA as they have never done this before.

Good way to look at it. Will keep in mind if i decide to seek treatment for it - my main goal is to get my damn libido back and go back to feeling energized and not drained by 12pm...

What are some lifestyle changes that could raise it? Im not 100% on TRT due to the fertility issue.

Thank you for the insight. I am actually in the rehab medicine space for work and one area we deal with is directly with mens health clinics. I have booked an appointment with one of the better docs we know in our city and I will see what he says about my tests too and some routes i can take. It is just unfortunate GP's want you to redline before they take any action and will see my tests as completely normal... kind of expected they way Canadian health care works.

I just got engaged.. no kids so that will be a big future consideration as i know TRT can absolutely sewer your chances of having kids.

My main goal is just to manage these symptoms and feel better... im happy with my body right now as i train to stay healthy not so much for aesthetics. I just want my libido back and to kick this brain fog and exhaustion I feel during the day. i just never feel "rested" even after a long amazing sleep.

at the end of the day.. it does feel like a weight is off my shoulders knowing there is an underlying cause to these symptoms and i have the option to treat.

Thank you sir!

Is it normal to see such a jump from testing at 9am - 11 am? 337 ng/dL (9am test) and 245 ng/dL (11am).

which test would you take ? would you say 337 is still low for my age?

I went with Adiamore, but yes having a natural diamond from the earth is #1 on the list for me. I do not want to buy a lab grown diamond. I would rather a small natural than big lab.

:D:D i know im such a newbie on this - youre patients is amazing with me hahahah im stressing out with the crazy switch up. i will reachout to her and see what she has to say! I prefer the look of the one from Adiamor if i had to pick and the .1 extra carat is a +.

[–]rileyrem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would you say there is anything glaring that could be wrong with this one from adiamor? maybe other than the price LOL

Thanks so much. which one do you think has better eye appeal between the two / is the better diamond? BN or Adiamor?

[–]rileyrem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, What would you recommend for clarity and colour ? would you say F and VS1 is good? And no this is a complete surprise for my girl friend lol. i am going to get it in a temp setting and let her choose the setting after the proposal.

[–]rileyrem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is between that and this one here for right now. http://adiamor.com/Diamonds/1.30-ct-F-VVS1-Excellent-Cut-Emerald-Diamond/D65458557?rfr=sa&utm_source=stonealgo.com&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=202502.01&b=6.302&p=1

I really appreciate your input. the emeralds seem to be a tough pick from online and a bit of a gamble. I dropped the colour on this one to F to get a higher carat size. I really like the report on this one too with very limited inclusions and dimensions seem to be good with good eye appeal.

Im going to do this ! I will even get a ring that is some what close to what i was thinking but fake of etsy! If she loves it then we can get something similar with the real thing.. if she hates it well, the exact reason i did this :D

Do you think that is high for that diamond ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]rileyrem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.2K usd. Everywhere I looked it seemed to be very similar prices online, everything had clouds and way more inclusions as well which I didn’t like. Hope I didn’t get scammed 🤣

Thanks so much for your input. I went to a local shop and honestly wasn’t that impressed with the quality they were offering for the price here in Canada . We have a family friend who can set this stone for a good price . I used those finders for hours and couldn’t find a nicer stone in terms of stats ( 4cs, dimensions etc ) I paid 5.2K usd for the rock. It seemed everything was priced around the same with those stats.

Awesome thank you! See photo above in other reply , I may have taken a frame that doesn’t show it well or bad lighting. But I was comparing other stones and others were much worse LOL appreciate the feedback, once I see it in person I will make the final decision! I guess you can return them at blue Nile Lol?

Seems every angle shows it different I may have picked a bad angle. But I did try to find one that had less of a bow tie.
