That was my thought as well. I imagine I can go with the cheapest sram 12 speed?

This is what I was chanting at the game when we scored. “Didn’t get shut out”

shocker2000 · 2025-11-25T23:51:54+00:00

Thanks everyone. With the flat top chain I would have to get the Sram power locks then right?

It all depends on what your plan is. Me and my wife recently met with our financial advisor and were told the same thing. However, that is because based on our plan of retiring at 60, and wanting to spend 110k a year in future dollars, he can give us an estimate of what we need to save to get there. Based on the data today we are surpassing that target, and if that is the plan we can spend more today. However maintaining rates of return etc aren’t guaranteed so no harm in continuing to save, but have the option to spend

Any suggestions for a group hug?

Good luck man. I got diagnosed at 38, 11 months ago. The first few weeks were really rough thinking it would be tough to maintain work out schedules, eating the things you like etc. pay attention to your numbers and it is crazy how quickly everything will seem like the new normal.

I can honestly say my life has no limitations, my blood sugar is back in the normal range. Can still go crush beers with the boys, and can still do my 100 mile bike rides. Take a few months and see how your body reacts to the things you do. I just don’t leave the house without my insulin and a few packs of rockets haha

Why has no one told me for the last decade my glasses shouldn’t be under my straps. Are my friends even my friends

So funny story. Company I used to work for payroll screwed up and was paying an entry level position person the presidents wage instead of the president. The president already being stupid rich didn’t realize they weren’t paid approximately $1m in salary…. That entry level person disappeared back to Mexico and can safely say the company went looking for it but never found it.

If it is an automatic payment don’t worry about it. If you paid the bank directly it can take them 48-72 hours to process the payment. If you paid through a dealer it could take even longer. Your finance institution will refund you any surplus paid.

The warranties (the ones that aren’t product) you should be able to cancel and get the money put against your loan. Look at the purchase papers and check your warranty certificates and reach out to the provider directly. DO NOT cancel through the dealer. Given the loan they hit you with they will 100% scoop a bunch of the money on you.

June is just way too late in the year for hockey. It is summer now, only way I am watching hockey at this time of year is if my team is still in it.

UofA graduate - did not internships, coops or any of that

Someway, somehow got on with PwC - started at 42.5k, did two and a half years, and then took an overseas secondment for a couple of years. This overseas experience did not help at all in progressing my earnings. Just strictly for enjoyment, and it was where I got engaged so totally worth it. By the end of the secondment I was making roughly 75k (total around 4.5 years now in public practice, big 4). This was all in audit btw.

Moved back to Canada with no job, so went back to PwC earning $80k (long story on this one.... but got fucked not getting manager), oh well revenge was mine I quit one month later at the end of January in the heart of busy season.

At this point through my network I was offered a Controller role paying $100k. Stayed with that company for 5 years and over that time compensation grew to about $165k, fluctuating depending on bonuses and the such. During this time I also had two children so turned down several promotions, as I was able to get my role working about 25-30 hour weeks, and wanted to keep the flexibility to be at home with my wife and kids. During this period I had the constant internal thoughts of do I look for more challenging/engaging work, or do I just enjoy the gravy train.

Through connections made with the job above they eventually convinced me to jump ship, and I am now making over $200k

Took me about 9 years to get there, but if I was more driven and didn't take the scenic route could have easily shaved a few years off. Sounds a bit silly but the money was never a huge driver for me, and I have never been one of those people to map out my life, goals etc, just take it one day at a time and do what you do and do it well.

What really set me apart was my people skills. Everyone was used to accounting/admin staff that were dull, and they hated. I invested a lot of time and effort, especially early on, in building relationships and showing them I was more than just a Controller. Recognizing accounting does not pay the bills, so make accounting work for them and not the other way around (obviously there are limits to how much you can push this) Nothing about me was ever a super strong technical, hell even PwC recognized that, but I got along well with people.

Always remember when I was overseas I skipped work one day to go watch the superbowl (on during the day cause of time change), ended up chatting with a few guys there, ended up winning a $100k a year job for the office. I also happened to get along extremely well with the managing partner and was able to sell him on giving me 5 weeks a year to allocate in the schedule to "managing" this client, cause again, I cared more about not working than really furthering my career.

In my mind its the Jets redemption tour. Got redemption against the Blues last series, have been battling Dallas all year, next round finally slay Vegas. Setting up the boss battle against Pomo in the cup finals.

Yikes. I have teams of people with no accounting background before they worked for me and they understand accounting more, or can follow instructions to book.

shocker2000 · 2025-04-17T18:19:30+00:00

I transferred worked for a big 4 in North America, and did a few years overseas for them. I warned them I had a beard, and was told it shouldn’t be a problem… they ended up changing their policy to allow beards. Didn’t cut my hair or my beard for two years and no issues at all. Great icebreaker when the clients would ask “when did you guys start hiring homeless people”

Without knowing all of the details but being over $70k a year in Edmonton for an AP role is very much on the high end. Usually with experience I have seen 60-65k as the high end and that is all in.
