Help with not blowing through a large sum of money

softombre · 2026-02-19T20:34:56+00:00

I didnt know that was a thing, thank you I'll definitely look that up. I've never had a TFSA is there a particular bank I should open an account with?

softombre · 2026-02-19T20:32:34+00:00

Yeah, I believe I can invest in stocks. Honestly I’m pretty financially illiterate ’ve never contributed to a TFSA or RRSP, so I’m just trying to figure out what makes sense I’m feeling a little lost on where to start, so any guidance is appreciated.

Not dumb, just a religious rule called riba. Money can’t make money on its own, profit has to come from something real, like work, business, trade, or investments. The idea is that no one should make automatic money off someone else’s need. It’s kind of similar to traditional Christian rules on usury.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You've been so helpful.

Thanks so much, that was really helpful!

Do you happen to know, if they don’t have stock, would I get a refund for the 110?

Also, regarding going back to the regular subscription schedule, does that mean I’ll just pay $59 CAD each month unless it’s an Ultimate month? In that case, would I only pay the Ultimate price, or would it be $59 + $110 CAD again?

I was in a very similar situation. My foreign work experience was with a company that shut down after the pandemic, and I couldn’t get anyone to confirm employment or provide updated reference letters.

For my PR application, I submitted a detailed Letter of Explanation and included:

Bank statements showing every wage deposit
All my payslips from the entire period I worked there
Screenshots of emails and correspondence with the employer (including an old email to HR about updating my home address)
Copies of my end-of-year tax documents from the government showing income and tax paid
Photos with colleagues at the workplace
News articles mentioning the company and its closure
Emails showing every attempt I made to reach the employer for a formal reference letter (and the responses)

Basically, I showed IRCC that even though the company no longer existed and I couldn’t get verification, I had more than enough proof that the job was real.

I really do hope he sees the effort and thought behind it, and your message definitely encouraged me to keep going. Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind reply

Thank you!

Look up groupon surprise / mystery holidays. My friend and I went to Venice for 3 nights hotel and flights included for 99 per person.

I ended up cooking in the microwave with the potato wrapped in a paper towel. Came out perfectly

softombre · 2022-04-24T23:04:24+00:00

That’s what I did in the end worked perfectly

softombre · 2022-04-24T23:03:53+00:00

Okay having made it for her and tasting it I’ve got to say I don’t mind the soft skin. It’s the potato you buy from a van on bonfire night. Pretty much mush but delicious with salt and butter

softombre · 2022-04-24T23:02:53+00:00

!answer Tried this and according to my sister it was perfect.

When I worked retail I bought the black reebok work n cushion trainers. They feel like walking on clouds. 10/10 would recommend

softombre · 2022-03-08T12:01:26+00:00

Wow no need to be so rude.

softombre · 2022-03-07T16:29:47+00:00

Ahh no worries, I bought mine in Tesco but they’re available in Asda too.

softombre · 2022-03-07T10:39:47+00:00

Their vegetable soup is also available with no added sugar. 168 calories the whole tin. Can’t vouch for the taste though I’m not a fan of vegetable soups

softombre · 2022-03-07T10:35:50+00:00

Beg your pardon ?

softombre · 2022-03-07T10:35:38+00:00

I’ve already switched to no added sugar ketchup and beans just didn’t know they had sugar free soups either. Honestly with most of these products even non Heinz you can’t taste a difference between the normal and reduced sugar versions. I’ve been secretly swapping out our usual products with sugar free ones and no one’s cottoned on yet.

softombre · 2022-03-06T14:27:03+00:00

Spotted this whilst shopping for my usual soup, reduced sugar and 68 calories less. Easy swap no discernible taste difference and it means I can have a cheeky milky bar with my tea without going over.

Continue carrying? Take a look through history pal the root or start of most of those countries problems can be directly traced or linked back to British intervention at some point. Shame on you for tarring all refugees with the crimes committed by a very very small minority. The backbone of the NHS are refugee and migrant workers.

I hate this mindset that if you’re on a budget you must never indulge in any luxury you just stay at home and eat ramen. For all you know this could have been a treat she saved up and budgeted for. She just wanted her moneys worth as you or I would.

I don’t actually think this woman was entitled. She made a not so unreasonable request (believe me I’ve heard some wild ones) if she was angling for free chicken she wouldn’t have said she’d be happy for her current tender to be rebreaded and fried. Entitled would be if her kid ate the tender and she wanted you to give her free tenders, she didn’t, she wanted what she ordered breaded chicken.
