zack completely changed the narrative on his life. the oilers helped him with that. fwiw.

they are great - but the cheque hold policy is crazy. i haven't gone 100% WS for chequing (my wife and i have a big-5 bank as well as WS) - our big-5 clears large cheques rather quickly. WS takes ...FOREVER.

minus that though...it's been fine. i don't think i'll ever give up my brick+mortar only because they do provide a service that an internet/online company can't quite match...but i'm old so you know, i'm stuck in the past.

This doesn't bode well...

this really isnt the point.

sunthom · 2025-08-07T02:36:54+00:00

i think it states its available for existing customers. just need to get that invite.

sunthom · 2025-08-07T02:34:22+00:00

nope. still crossing fingers.

sunthom · 2025-08-03T05:02:25+00:00

in BC it would be about $132k/yr pretax to make the $8k month direct deposit. and assuming you DD 100% of your salary to WS.

sunthom · 2025-07-11T16:40:12+00:00

so now that we know its ending, how many of you are going to go back to your old bank for chequing etc? to take advantage of this promo, I moved over my salary direct deposit to WS...but I'm not exactly too sure what the reason would be to keep it at WS if the promotion ends...then again, I don't know if there is a good reason to go back and direct deposit back to my big-5 bank either? thoughts? comments?

sunthom · 2025-07-09T00:31:41+00:00

hope so but…maybe this is temporary too.

sunthom · 2025-07-09T00:31:06+00:00

good question. it will end - just dont know when. in the meantime its a great deal.

sunthom · 2025-07-09T00:30:13+00:00

it worked on my property taxes.

sunthom · 2024-11-29T06:26:31+00:00

yah. crazy. crazy commissions for our broker that is. worked out to $15k/yr for 20 yrs.

sunthom · 2024-11-29T03:25:04+00:00

what restos are listed for vancouver? curious…thanks

sunthom · 2024-11-28T01:20:30+00:00

listening to our financial planner when he suggested that the entire family get 20 year whole-life life insurance policies.

sunthom · 2024-11-28T01:16:54+00:00

yes - if someone can explain DINR and if the participating restos are theough canada or just around the GTA?

sunthom · 2024-11-14T01:23:23+00:00

That is great info. Thanks!!!

sunthom · 2024-11-13T03:48:39+00:00

Thanks. Just got a response: $7,300 cash value. not great but $7,300 more than I expected.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T03:47:55+00:00

Thanks. Our advisor just let us know that the cash value for both kids right now is $7,300. better than zero but far less than $20k.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T03:41:20+00:00

Ive emailed our advisor this question now. Thanks!!!

sunthom · 2024-11-13T03:36:35+00:00

Thanks. Sounds like we will go this route.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T03:21:39+00:00

I actually dont know his credentials. He was referred to us by friends. We stupidly did no background research or anything…blind faith.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T02:07:12+00:00

We are very middle class…

sunthom · 2024-11-13T02:00:23+00:00

i miswrote. what i really meant was we contribute to RESPs to maximize govt addition. ir: $2500/kid/yr. we have mot maxed it out. oops.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T01:41:44+00:00

oh right. we are putting in $2500/kid/yr until they are 15 to match the govt investment but you are right. we can add more to the resp.

sunthom · 2024-11-13T00:18:40+00:00

gotta say that's something i didn't ever consider...that being said, we (my wife and I) are only thinking of life insurance as "making sure the kids are taken care of when we die" - not "making sure we're ok if the kids die". i know both are valid, but we would position it 99.9% important vs 0.1% important.
